Fox & Friends host mocks NY Times ISIS coverage, unaware it beat Fox to the story.
Fox & Friends host Pete Hegseth trashed the failing New York Times on Friday for supposedly not reporting on the recent capture of five ISIS leaders, apparently unaware the paper beat Fox News to the story.
I looked for the five ISIS leaders captured in the failing New York Times, Hegseth said, flipping through the newspaper. And in the print edition today, I have not seen it yet.
Hegseth didnt find the story in Fridays New York Times because the paper covered it on Wednesday. Hegseths own station, Fox News, reported on the Times coverage a day later, on Thursday.
Hegseth and his co-hosts were discussing President Donald Trumps tweet on Thursday announcing that ISIS five leaders were just captured.
So the Times reporting also beat Trumps. The paper published the news on Wednesday, describing Iraqi news broadcasts referring to a sting operation that took place earlier in the spring.
Like the president, though, Fox hosts have made it a pastime to label the Times and other media outlets they perceive as left-leaning as failing and fake news.
