Donald Trump keeps finding new reasons to distrust Fox News.
The network has certainly taken a turn.
And what one Fox News host did for Hillary Clinton will have Donald Trump seeing red.
As Black Eye Politics reports:
Many viewers who were watching the second Republican presidential debate were unhappy with how Fox News moderated the event.
One of the moderators excoriated by viewers was Dana Perino, who got smacked down by Ron DeSantis after she asked who on the stage each candidate would “vote off the island” in an effort to get them to turn on each other.
Perino is a co-host of The Five on Fox News, and is ostensibly a conservative, but the truth may be quite a bit darker than that.
The fact that she used her platform as a debate moderator to try and hurt the Republican candidates has raised more than a few eyebrows.
And now her ties to one of the most prominent Democrats in America are being revealed, and Fox News viewers are furious about how she has been deceiving them this whole time.
According to The Blaze, “Dana Perino of the Fox News Channel, who served as one of the moderators for the second Republican presidential primary debate of the 2024 election cycle, recently moderated a session at the Clinton Global Initiative 2023 Meeting and even introduced former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton as ‘the amazing Secretary Hillary Clinton.’”
“Perino, who served as White House press secretary during a portion of President George W. Bush’s tenure, co-anchors ‘America’s Newsroom’ and cohosts ‘The Five’ on the Fox News Channel.”
The fact that she refers to Hillary Clinton as “amazing” reveals a lot about Perino’s political views, which may be vastly different than how she presents them on-air to conservative viewers.
The article continues, “The session Perino hosted at the Clinton Global Initiative Meeting was titled ‘Journalism on the Frontlines: How protecting freedom of the press supports all human rights.’ The panel included Dow Jones CEO and Wall Street Journal publisher Almar Latour, Washington Post opinion writer Jason Rezaian, and Jodie Ginsberg, president of the Committee to Protect Journalists.”
“After moderating the panel, Perino introduced ‘the amazing Secretary Hillary Clinton,’ warmly shaking Clinton’s hand once the Democratic figure walked on stage.”
This wasn’t just a random panel that happened to have Hillary Clinton on it. If that were the case, one could make the argument that Perino was simply trying to be polite.
On the contrary, this was the Clinton Global Initiative 2023 meeting – an explicitly Clinton-sponsored event – and Perino showed up and lavished praise on Hillary Clinton.
Fox News viewers are finding out about this betrayal, and they are not happy with Dana Perino or Fox News for putting her on air.
