Nearly all major cable news networks carried Wednesday's high-profile press conference in Washington D.C. in which victims of convicted child predator Jeffrey Epstein called for the Department of Justice to release all of its Epstein-related evidence.
Fox News, however, largely dismissed it.
Mediaite reported Wednesday that Fox aired the presser up until Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) took aim at the Trump administration for continuing to keep the Epstein files under wraps, specifically naming the FBI, the CIA and the DOJ. At that point, host Dana Perino cut away.
"So Marjorie Taylor Greene continues speaking at this press conference about the Epstein files, the Epstein victims, as well – a highlight on them today," Perino said, before segueing into a separate story attacking Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson as "the worst mayor in America."
Others also noticed Fox News suddenly cutting away from the press conference. Media Matters for America senior fellow Matthew Gertz wrote on X: "While CNN and MSNBC are airing the press conference featuring Jeffrey Epstein's victims, Fox News is providing counter-programming featuring a Trump appointee."
"MSNBC and CNN giving full coverage to Epstein victims testimony today, because Trump is president and wants it to go away," conservative freelance journalist Jack Hunter tweeted. "Fox News not covering it at all, because Trump is president and wants it to go away."
Deadline.com correspondent Ted Johnson also confirmed that Fox News diverted from the press conference by posting four screenshots with the text: "CNN, MSNBC and BBC on press conference with Epstein victims, Fox News so far is not."
"What an absolute disgrace on the part of @FoxNews -- the network cut away from the Epstein survivors press conference," one X user wrote. "Fox is clearly taking orders from the White House."
