Fox misleads with selective Trump and Biden footage
“Fox showed footage of Biden looking at his watch 10 million times for months, but airs old footage of Trump rather than show him wearing a campaign hat he's currently selling for $55 at the dignified transfer.”
Summary
Fox News did broadcast a 2021 clip of President Biden checking his watch at a dignified transfer ceremony, but the assertion that it was shown “10 million times for months” is an exaggerated claim. The network also aired an older video of former President Trump wearing a hat, not a current $55 campaign hat, confirming the use of outdated footage.
