Fox News refused to air a TV ad blasting President Donald Trump’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic during the Republican National Convention, telling the labor union funding it that it was inaccurate. “This November, say ‘no’ to Trump and McConnell’s chaos.”Fox News told HuffPost that it informed the union’s representatives that it would air ad if the union corrected what it considered a questionable claim. “FOX News did not reject the ad,” a Fox News spokesperson said in a statement. AFT offered a different account of its communications with the TV network, saying the union was not under the impression that it could revise the ad to make it acceptable.
