Fox News has confirmed that it has no presence on Donald Trump’s embattled social media platform Truth Social after an account bearing the network’s name was listed as verified. The account propped up earlier this week, prompting former congressman Devin Nunez, a Trump loyalist who heads Trump Media & Technology Group (TMTG), to post a welcome note. A Fox News spokesperson, however, has since confirmed to The Independent and several other outlets that the network is not actually on Truth Social in any official capacity. “We are not on Truth Social,” a Fox News spokesperson told Axios. Mr Trump’s social media company, which launched in February in what he described as an effort to “fight back against Big Tech”, has struggled to gain momentum after a series of early misfires.
