For an alleged news enterprise that once brandished the slogan <em>&#8220;fair and balanced,&#8221;<\/em> it&#8217;s a steep fall from the already low bar they had set for themselves. They even sunk so low as to have Lara interview her Sugardaddy-in-Law on her show.<\/p>\n<p><strong>SEE THIS: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=70050\" target=\"_blank\">Trump Humiliates Himself in a Hysterical Interview By His Daughter-in-Law Lara Trump on Fox News<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>On Saturday Lara took on the additional duty of guest-hosting Fox and Friends. During that episode she openly admitted that she and Fox News are not independent journalists, but instead are partisan representatives of the Republican Party. She said that&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;As Republicans, we need to do a better job of reminding the American people what this president and what this party has done for the economy. Don&#8217;t forget that under Joe Biden we saw an over 9% inflation, it&#8217;s at 3.5% right now. You look at the energy policy of this president. That has been monumental for bringing costs down. Obviously you see gas prices aren&#8217;t perfect right now, but don&#8217;t forget, $1.77 a gallon during Trump one. We know he knows how to get us there. We have the higher gas prices right now because of Iran.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<div class=\"embed-x\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">LARA: As Republicans, we need to do a better job of reminding the American people what THIS president and what this Party has done for the economy\u2026under Joe Biden we saw an over 9% inflation, it&#39;s at 3.5% right now<\/p>\n<p>GRIFF: It&#39;s a great point<\/p>\n<p>(this is supposed to be a news show) <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/f43jRmlJk8\">pic.twitter.com\/f43jRmlJk8<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Bad Fox Graphics (@BadFoxGraphics) <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/BadFoxGraphics\/status\/2083880935980753082?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">August 2, 2026<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.x.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/div>\n<p>There you have it. Lara spoke <em>&#8220;As Republicans, we need to do a better job&#8230;&#8221;<\/em> Then she enumerated what she believed to be the failures of President Biden and the successes of the GOP under the guidance of Papa Trump. And true to form, she brazenly lied. For instance, while inflation did rise to 9.1% during Biden&#8217;s term, he brought it down to 3% by the time he handed off the office to Trump. Since then, Trump has presided over an increase in inflation to 3.5%.<\/p>\n<p>However, perhaps the worst part of Lara&#8217;s commentary was her boasting about Trump&#8217;s alleged ability to bring gas prices down. She offered as proof the fact that during his first term gas prices declined to $1.77 per gallon. So according to Lara, <em>&#8220;he knows how to get us there.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Which is great to know. All he has to do now is horribly mismanage another pandemic like COVID and gas will once again be affordable. Because that was what happened during Trump&#8217;s first term that resulted in $1.77\/gallon gas. And it only cost a few more than a million American lives.<\/p>\n<p>In Trump&#8217;s second term he appears to be heading the opposite direction. Instead of killing a million Americans in order to bring gas prices down, he&#8217;s killing Iranians in order to get gas prices up. If there is some logic in that strategy, it is lost on American consumers, who are also being burdened with higher prices for everything else due to his idiotic and inflationary tariffs.<\/p>\n<p>Lara went on in her commentary to further align herself and her Fox News colleagues with the Republican Party. She added that&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;I think we need to do a better job of messaging that. Because if you leave it up to the legacy media they&#8217;re gonna continue to hammer this president on Iran. A situation that, thank God, he&#8217;s tackling because no one else would. But I think that&#8217;s something we need to hear more from the RNC and the Republicans on.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>So Lara is shamelessly serving as the de facto communications boss of the Republican Party, and doling out advice that she thinks will help their faltering electoral prospects. And in her opinion, the Party&#8217;s problems have nothing to do with their unpopular policies that ignore the welfare of the American people. It&#8217;s just a messaging problem. Which she seems to think is the responsibility of the media that spends too much time reporting on trivialities like war.<\/p>\n<p>You can&#8217;t entirely blame Lara for this. She&#8217;s a mouthpiece for the benefit of her family. But Fox News should be endlessly shamed for hiring her and allowing her to disgorge such self-serving propaganda across the network&#8217;s programming day. But then, why would they change now after doing that for thirty years?<\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED STORIES:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=68070\" target=\"_blank\">Lara Trump Attacks the No Kings Movement By Quoting a Fake Trump Truth Social Post on Fox News<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=66909\" target=\"_blank\">Trump Calls Charlamagne Tha God a \u2018Low IQ\u2019 \u2018Racist Sleazebag\u2019 During Lara Trump\u2019s Fox News Show<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=66721\" target=\"_blank\">In a Fox News Propaganda Coup, Lara Trump Interviews Papa Trump and Never Mentions Epstein<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<blockquote>\n<div>\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><strong>Be sure to visit and follow News Corpse<br \/>\non <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NewsCorpse\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Twitter<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/NewsCorpse\/\" target=\"_blank\">Facebook<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/bsky.app\/profile\/newscorpse.bsky.social\" target=\"_blank\">Bluesky<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.threads.net\/@newscorpse\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Threads<\/a>.<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><strong>And check out my books on Amazon:<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2aOYFpM\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"\">Fox Nation vs. Reality:<br \/>\nThe Fox News Cult of Ignorance.<\/a><\/strong>\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><strong>Thanks so much for your support.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The mission of Fox News from its inception was to advance the the right-wing, conservative agenda, and to elect Republicans.
