Tucker Carlson took a dig at his former employer Fox News after it backpedaled on its "wannabe dictator" chyron. This week, Fox News labeled President Joe Biden a "wannabe dictator" in chyron text. The "wannabe dictator" message was on-screen for 27 seconds, the website Mediaite reported. Then the company issued a public apology for the 27-second-long 'wannabe dictator' line," Carlson said on his Twitter show. Carlson referenced her comments on his Twitter show before suggesting in a sarcastic rant that Biden is actually a "wannabe dictator."

A Fox News chyron called Biden a "wannabe dictator" who had his "political rival" Donald Trump arrested. Fox said in a statement Wednesday that "the chyron was taken down immediately and was addressed." Fox did not explain how the message made it onto the screen and how the matter was addressed. While Fox News aired Trump's speech live, MSNBC did not. MSNBC's Rachel Maddow made a similar pronouncement before that network chose not to air Trump's speech live.

A Fox News chyron appeared to refer to President Biden as a “wannabe dictator” during footage of his remarks from the White House on Tuesday, the same day that former President Donald J. Trump was charged with federal crimes in a Miami courtroom. The onscreen text appeared briefly at the bottom of a split-screen broadcast that showed President Biden and former President Trump speaking from respective podiums, at the White House and a Trump golf club in Bedminster, N.J.“Wannabe dictator speaks at the White House after having his political rival arrested,” the chyron read. It did not refer to Mr. Biden by name, but the implication was clear. The alert appeared at the end of the 8 p.m. broadcast of “Fox News Tonight,” a prime-time show that recently replaced one that had been hosted by Tucker Carlson, a popular nightside host who was dismissed by the network in April. The footage of Mr. Biden showed him speaking on the South Lawn of the White House on Tuesday at a holiday event.

☆ Fox News stirs outrage after labeling Biden a ‘wannabe dictator.’ The network says it ‘addressed’ the situation
▼ + stars: | 2023-06-14 | by ( Allison Morrow | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +3 min

New York CNN —Fox News on Wednesday acknowledged that an onscreen banner calling President Joe Biden a “wannabe dictator” was inappropriate and said it had taken steps to address the situation internally. “The chyron was taken down immediately and was addressed,” a Fox News spokesperson told CNN in a statement. “WANNABE DICTATOR SPEAKS AT THE WHITE HOUSE AFTER HAVING HIS POLITICAL RIVAL ARRESTED,” the onscreen text read. Biden and his White House have repeatedly stressed that he does not involve himself in Justice Department investigations and have said that the DOJ works independently of the White House’s influence. But Fox is fighting another defamation case from Smartmatic, another voting technology company, which is seeking a staggering $2.7 billion in damages.

A Fox News chyron called Biden a "wannabe dictator " who had "his political rival arrested." "Fox News Tonight" carried clips of Trump's speech after he was arrested and arraigned on Tuesday, alongside footage of Biden speaking at the White House, the latter with no audio. The onscreen text remained in place for around 15 seconds, continuing into the next show "Hannity," Mediaite reported. The Fox News onscreen text about Biden came despite Trump once praising China's President Xi Jinping for becoming "president for life," while joking that he should try to do the same thing. Fox News was the only major cable news network to carry Trump's speech live on Tuesday night, according to The Guardian.
