President Trump's rallies get extensive airtime on Fox News
NEW YORK (AP) — President Donald Trump's campaign-style rallies have found a receptive audience at Fox News Channel, which unlike the other cable news networks often carries his speeches live and in their entirety.
Four times in the past few weeks, Fox has set aside its usual prime-time programming to air the president speaking live to supporters at events in South Carolina, Minnesota, North Dakota and West Virginia. The network also promised live coverage of a Trump rally Thursday in Montana, where Democratic Sen. Jon Tester faces a tough fight for re-election.
Critics say Fox is essentially giving the Republican president free, repeated access to his supporters in a midterm election year.
