Fox News took CNN-style liberties with the chyron under a split-screen of President Trump and Joe Biden speaking at the same time Tuesday night. Fox captioned the image: “Wannabe dictator speaks at White House after his political rival is arrested.”
Trump spoke at his golf club in Bedminster, New Jersey about his arraignment earlier in the day in Miami in the classified documents hoax. Biden spoke on the South Lawn of the White House during an early celebration of Juneteenth — AKA Republicans Free the Democrats Slave Day. Fox News livestreamed Trump’s speech in its entirety, showing only a silent video of Biden.
The Fox caption appeared in the last minute of the former 8 p.m. timeslot in which Tucker Carlson was a guest of Brian Kilmeade.

Earlier, Kilmeade introduced Trump’s speech by calling him “the President of the United States.”

CNN’s Oliver Darcy couldn’t believe Fox would edit his chyron, even though CNN does that to Trump all the time.

PBS NewsHour livestreamed Trump’s speech, but added editorial “context” during the speech via the chyron at the bottom of the screen.
