A simple favor between two Fox News regulars wrecked their friendship and landed on network executives' desks, according to a new report.

Media newsletter Breaker reported that Fox News senior White House correspondent Jacqui Heinrich fell out with Yemisi Egbewole, a frequent network guest who once served as chief of staff in former President Joe Biden's press office, over a pair of earrings that belonged to Heinrich's grandmother.

Heinrich asked Egbewole last summer to watch her cat while she traveled for work and later with her partner, Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick (R-PA), according to veteran media reporter Lachlan Cartwright, who cited people familiar with the situation....

President Donald Trump took aim at Fox News on Sunday, accusing his favorite network of giving too much airtime to Democrats and suggesting it’s to blame for a tight race.

“FoxNews is spending far too much time putting on the OPPONENTS of Republican Party Candidates, people that love our Country, and have Great Policies and Ideas,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.

“These American Patriots are being absolutely ‘blurred out’ by the Media, and Fox is doing little to help,” he continued. “That’s the only reason this Race is close, if it is indeed close.”...

Former Fox News meteorologist Janice Dean has a sharp response for ex-colleague Eric Bolling, who attacked her for criticizing Megyn Kelly. She told people to look up why he left the network.

The fight started earlier this week, when Dean went after Kelly over the podcast host’s comments about actress Christina Applegate, who has multiple sclerosis.

“I’ve kept my mouth shut for a long time about #meangirl @megynkelly,” Dean wrote on X. “She used to be one of my closest friends and then she ghosted me after she endorsed @andrewcuomo for mayor and I told her she broke my heart.”...

The silence from Texas GOP Senate nominee Ken Paxton about a Fox News debate offer exposes that he's gripped by fear, according to an analyst.

In a Tuesday episode on his YouTube channel, progressive political commentator Brian Tyler Cohen made the case after a Fox News spokesperson told HuffPost the network would host a debate between Paxton and Democrat James Talarico. Cohen said, "Ken Paxton's already bad month just got much worse."

"Debates best serve voters and the democratic process when both candidates participate, and voters have the opportunity to compare positions on the issues," the Fox News spokesperson said, per Cohen. "We will move forward with the debate if both candidates commit to appearing."...

Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) admitted that he took a trip with Fox News executives, which is spurring more outrage against him.

Fetterman has already attracted the ire of his own party after he appeared by video at President Donald Trump's midterm convention, after a Wall Street Journal article revealed he took donations from conservatives while blowing off his constituents and amid a recent history of favoring GOP positions.

According to a Tuesday article by the conservative-leaning Washington Examiner, Fetterman traveled to Montana for an "exclusive retreat" hosted by the Murdoch family in July and hung out with Fox News executives, Sen. Tim Sheehy (R-MT) and Sen. Katie Britt (R-AL)....

Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC) is defending his wild speech at the GOP midterm convention, in which he pulled at his clothes and shouted.

Scott yelled that Democrats want to "rip the heart out of our chests," threw his hands around, and made faces. As he warned about Democrats and a "battle for the heart of our nation," Scott pulled open his jacket and pounded his chest. He then pivoted to a shouted religious riff: "But Texas, we know who God is! We're talking about Jesus!"

He was mocked for the speech and his unusual behavior. Earlier this week, MS NOW host Joe Scarborough and his fellow panelists held hands and prayed for Scott after his "really weird" speech....
