Fox News cuts into Trump speech to deliver a real-time fact check
President Donald Trump’s favorite news network not only cut into his speech on Monday, but it also fact-checked him on live television.
Trump on Monday attempted to tout his administration’s environmental record, but Fox News host Shepard Smith interrupted to say those policies have been “widely criticized by environmentalists and academics.” The Fox News host cited a New York Times report that found that more than 80 environmental rules and regulations have been repealed and/or rolled back, including multiple regulations regarding drilling, air pollution and wildlife. President Trump left out quite a few facts when talking about his environmental record today – but @ShepNewsTeam filled in the gaps on @FOXNews 👇 pic.twitter.
Over the weekend, Trump griped that watching Fox News is “worse than watching low ratings Fake News CNN” and MSNBC, then later took at dig at Smith for hosting “by far their lowest rated show.” It’s not the news channel’s lowest-rated show, according to the latest numbers, and Smith has more than twice as many viewers as CNN in the same hour.Strengthen city, county and state climate effortsPush companies and institutions to divest from fossil fuelsPut your money where your mouth isStory continuesMaking a"financial case" for clean energySpeak out!Reduce your own carbon footprintSupport environmental journalismLove HuffPost?
