—
The White House is formally calling on Fox News to walk back its coverage of bribery and corruption allegations against President Joe Biden.
In a letter sent to the right-wing network’s top brass this week, which has not been previously reported, Ian Sams, a top White House spokesperson, noted that the ex-FBI informant who was the source of the bribery claims has now been charged by federal authorities for allegedly fabricating the story.
“Despite this, Fox has taken no steps to retract, correct, or update its reporting on this false allegation from 2023,” Sams said in his letter to Fox News chief executive Suzanne Scott, president Jay Wallace, and Washington bureau chief Bryan Boughton.
The letter is the latest from the Biden White House, which has taken a more aggressive approach to news coverage of the president that it sees as unfair in the run-up to the November election. . .

Can you imagine the uproar if Trump had told CNN to stop printing negative stories about his administration?

Biden's "Enemys List"
is very Nixonian

No elected official should be mandating what a free and fair press can cover. This only feeds into right-wing Deep State paranoia.
The most effective counter argument for Biden is to provide evidentiary truth that refutes the accusations.
Leave FoxNews to their own devices to cover the implosion of the Republican Party.
