President Trump slammed Fox News on Truth Social for interviewing Nebraska candidate Dan Osborn, arguing the network promotes Democrats over Republicans and MAGA.
President Donald Trump went after Fox News on Tuesday for running a long-form interview with independent Nebraska Senate candidate Dan Osborn, who is challenging Sen. Pete Ricketts, R-Neb.
Just the News reported that Trump posted the complaint on Truth Social while the interview was underway, saying the network was giving the other side exposure it refuses to give Republicans and MAGA voters.
Trump did not frame the booking as ordinary political coverage. He cast it as a one-way gift of airtime.
On Truth Social, Trump wrote:
"FoxNews is long form interviewing the sleazebag, Dan Osborn, right now, who is running against our GREAT Republican Senator, Pete Ricketts, from Nebraska,"
He followed with a direct challenge to the network’s choices:
"Why are they doing this??? The 'other side' doesn’t give our people any positive exposure or airtime. It is a miracle that I won, the last by a landslide, three Presidential Races!"
That is the core of the fight. Trump says rival media lock out Republican voices, while Fox hands long-form space to a candidate running against a Republican senator he backs.
The Osborn post was not Trump’s first Fox complaint that day. Earlier on Tuesday, he tore into the network over its interview with Democratic Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed.
Trump said Fox keeps focusing on Democratic guests and soft treatment, not on the crowds turning out for him.
He posted:
"All they talk about is Dumocrat Jihadists like El-Sayed, with his softball interview by Martha MacCallum, and the like. She never interviews me like that,"
He added that Fox skips his rallies the morning after, while other outlets carry them, and that MAGA viewers notice.
Trump’s close on that earlier blast left little doubt about his verdict:
"They don’t show my record breaking Rallies the morning after, but others do, and that’s what MAGA is watching. Fox is promoting the Dumocrats, not the Republicans and MAGA. They have totally lost their way!"
In both posts, Trump’s charge is the same. He says Fox is elevating Democratic and anti-Republican voices, offering friendlier formats to those guests, and failing to show the size of his own events that other platforms still cover.
Osborn’s race is in Nebraska. El-Sayed’s is in Michigan. Trump tied both bookings to a broader pattern: airtime for the other side, thin positive exposure for Republicans, and a network he says has drifted from the audience that built it.
No response from Fox News, Osborn, Ricketts, El-Sayed, or MacCallum appears in the reporting on the posts.
A network that lectures about balance while stacking long interviews for the other side should not act shocked when the voters it once courted stop pretending not to notice.
