Fox News has come under fire for an on-air graphic that appeared to call President Joe Biden a “wannabe dictator.” In response, a spokesperson for the network said the chyron was taken down immediately and addressed.
The incident highlights the high-stakes dilemma for President Donald Trump’s Republican rivals, who are struggling to find a clear and consistent strategy to take on the frontrunner as Trump’s unprecedented legal troubles threaten to dominate all other issues in the 2024 presidential contest.
Just last week, former Vice President Mike Pence said he hoped federal prosecutors would not bring charges against former President Donald Trump. On Wednesday, a day after Trump was arraigned on dozens of felony counts related to classified documents, Pence described the allegations as “a very serious matter.”
“I cannot defend what is alleged,” Pence said on CNBC. He is now challenging Trump for the Republican presidential nomination.
The incident has sparked debate over the role of news networks in the political process. While Fox News has apologized for the graphic, some have argued that the network should be held accountable for its actions. Others have argued that the incident was an isolated incident and that the network should not be held responsible for the actions of one individual.
