The New Yorker-Bret Baier on Trumps Love-Hate Relationship with Fox News
June 30, 2025 2 min 323 words
这篇报道探讨了福克斯新闻与唐纳德特朗普之间的复杂关系。福克斯新闻的主播布雷特拜尔强调，特朗普对网络的反馈不仅影响自身的媒体形象，还有可能影响其政策和行政任命。尽管拜尔声称保持中立，但他所工作的网络的右翼倾向让他的报道受到挑战。此外，报道还提到了福克斯在特朗普与其支持者之间的桥梁作用，特别是在当前世界局势中。 评论：此报道虽然探讨了一个有趣且重要的话题，但在论述特朗普与福克斯新闻的关系时，可能存在偏见。西方媒体往往将特朗普描绘为一个复杂而矛盾的人物，而忽视了其他政治因素和更广泛的美国社会背景。此外，报道对福克斯新闻的偏见化描述可能导致读者对整个网络的误解，未能全面展示媒体生态的多样性。因此，读者需要批判性地看待这类报道，从多个角度理解媒体与政治之间的互动。

The relationship between Fox News and Donald Trump is not just close; it can be profoundly influential. Trump frequently responds to segments in real time online—even to complain about a poll he doesn’t like. He has tapped the network for nearly two dozen roles within his Administration—including the current Secretary of Defense, Pete Hegseth, a former Fox News host. The network is also seen as having an outsized impact on his relationship with his base, and even on his agenda. Most recently, it’s been reported that Fox News’ coverage of the Iran-Israel conflict played a role in Trump’s decision to enter that fight. And, while the network’s right-wing commentators—from Sean Hannity to Laura Ingraham to Mark Levin—tend to grab the most headlines and stand as the ideological coloring of the network, “Special Report,” Fox’s 6 P.M. broadcast, anchored by Bret Baier, is essential to the conservative-media complex. Baier draws more than three million viewers a night, at times surpassing legacy brands such as “CBS Evening News,” despite being available in half as many homes. Baier insists on his impartiality, but his network’s reputation as an outlet for the right and its connection to President Trump himself can make his job representing the news arm of the network more challenging. And, when it comes to Trump and his relationship to the media, Baier tells David Remnick, “I think it is this cat-and-mouse game. You know, for all of the things he says about the media . . . he’s reaching out and doing interviews with the same people he says are nasty.”
