Donald Trump knows he needs media giants like Fox News and CNN to help him win back the White House in 2024. The network invited him to spend over an hour pushing lies to millions of viewers during a town hall event last Wednesday. “It’s really amazing to watch the head of CNN get absolutely lambasted for asking me to do a so-called Town Hall,” the former president wrote. Trump thinks Fox News could get a similar ratings boost if they would only stop paying attention to Ron DeSantis and start pushing the false claim that the 2020 election was stolen a little harder. Smartmatic, another company suing the network over its election lies, is reportedly seeking an even larger payment.
