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.

uh, folks, the weaponization of the DOJ under the Demon Rat party is obvious to anyone with eyes to see.
They blamed Nixon for doing this...but it came to fruition with Obamugabe and Xiden.
How dare they insult our facist leader.
You can’t tell the truth here! This is the News Room!
Yes—if he wanted legitimacy and respect as a political leader, he shouldn’t have gained office in such an obviously wicked, dishonest and corrupt manner. Instead, he should have gone about it in the standard way that tends to garner legitimacy and respect.
It seems, though, as if he was never capable of doing that. Hence he is tagged as a wannabe dictator.
Under fire from who? Bidenskyyyy’s butt boyz? Those freaks shouldn’t even have guns.
Biden’s a puppet. He doesn’t have a clue what he’s doing.
“EXPERTS WARN THAT INFLAMMATORY RHETORIC FROM ELECTED OFFICIALS OR PEOPLE IN POWER CAN PROMPT INDIVIDUAL ACTORS TO COMMIT ACTS OF VIOLENCE.”
I guess it just depends on whose ox is being gored.
It was false advertising: Buy-DUNG is the real deal, not a wannabe.
Tucker Carlson hacked it?
Like a promotion and a bonus?!?
The Clintons helped.
biden is a dictator since no one is stopping him.
He pressures social media and the 4th estate to kill stories. He’s weaponized law enforcement. He has had political prisoners held for months in subhuman conditions. He was a dictator long before he had Trump charged with BS for political reasons.
This screen with the “wannabe dictator” wording underneath, is almost enough to have me watching Fox News TV again. Almost.
Best flag I've seen !
The same consequences Hillary faced when putting our nation at securtiy risk with her private email server.
I remember, I think it was in the 90’s, that MSNBC was interviewing a black conservative by the name of Niger Inness, and they mis-spelled his name in the banner below. It doesn’t take any imagination to figure out HOW it was spelled.
I’m sure somebody’s head rolled over that one…
Well, it’s the truth, so what’s the problem?
So someone at Fox actually told the public the truth?
That’s not allowed!
The spokesperson’s only decent response is better left unsaid, but can be expressed with one finger.
