Fox News under fire for Biden 'wannabe dictator' graphic

Fox News came under fire after airing a graphic on Tuesday night that appeared to call US President Joe Biden a “wannabe dictator.”

The graphic aired hours after former President Donald Trump’s arraignment in Florida in the classified documents case.

The network had aired a split screen of footage from Biden’s remarks at a Juneteenth event at the White House, and from Trump’s speech in New Jersey, in which the former President blamed Biden for the indictment against him.

Around 9:00 p.m. ET, the text at the bottom of the screen on Fox News read, “Wannabe dictator speaks at the White House after having his political rival arrested.”

In a statement to NBC News on Wednesday, a spokesperson for the network said: “The chyron was taken down immediately and was addressed.”

The spokesperson did not respond to an email that asked whether there would be any consequences for the staff members behind the text in the graphic.

I thought that was pretty funny when I saw the picture. I also thought it was photoshopped but apparently someone there has a sense of humor.

[WeaslesRippedMyFlesh]

yeah, it was a big mistake putting “wannabe” in there.

[HerrBlucher]

I think that when you have reached the point where you arrest your political opposition, you have gone from Wannabe dictator to dictator.

As I said on another thread, I would rather General Zod from Superman 2 be President than Biden. Zod at least like people live there live there lives in peace.

It was perfect except he’s not a wannabe dictator since he has in fact had his opponent arrested, he is a dictator.

Anyone have a screen capture of it?

[cephalopod]

I saw it live and couldn’t believe it; a good laugh. There was a screen cap on an earlier thread. I took a quick look and didn’t find the thread, but I’ll keep looking.

Zod at least like people live there live there lives in peace.

I couldn't have formulated that better myself!

Also: Love your tagline!

Tinhorn petty dictator is the proper term, I believe.

/yes I am still alive

I also thought it was photoshopped. Glad it wasn’t.

Hope the brave patriot finds another job soon.

Funny - (NOT funny) how the radical left has gotten away with all manner of mean verbal jabs over the years, but woe to our side for similar pranks.

(Thank Rush Limbaugh and President Trump for schooling us on using these war of words tactics.)

[immadashell]

… that appeared to call US President Joe Biden a “wannabe dictator.”

That’s an insult to “wannabe dictators”!

[Allegra]

I thought that was pretty funny when I saw the picture. I also thought it was photoshopped but apparently someone there has a sense of humor.

I’d like to shake that person’s hand and buy him/her a cold one.

Here's the pic by itself ...

Just goes to show, in America you can’t speak the truth. Ever.

"It was perfect except he’s not a wannabe dictator since he has in fact had his opponent arrested, he is a dictator."

Add the fact that he was installed after a vote fraud coup took place.
