Fox News is making waves as one snarky editor gets in the last word. On Tuesday night a graphic headline at the bottom of the nightly news screen made waves as it stood out under a split-screen of former President Trump and President Joe Biden speaking at the same time.
A Fox News editor captioned the image, “Wannabe dictator speaks at the White House after having his political rival arrested.” The snarky headline is on point as Joe Biden did have his top political rival arrested and arraigned earlier in the day.

The split screen newscast showed Trump speaking at his Bedminster, New Jersey golf club about his arraignment earlier in the day over the classified documents legally stored in his Flordia home.
Biden shared the screen with the former president. The senile leader of America was speaking on the South Lawn of the White House at an early celebration of Juneteenth. Fox News carried Trump’s speech live in its entirety, while just showing a silent video of Biden celebrating a Texan Holiday that was only picked up nationally for political purposes.
THIS IS AMAZING😂😂😂
Fox News said it how it is by calling Biden a “wannabe dictator.”

The Fox caption got the last word of the night as it appeared in the last minute of the former 8 p.m. time slot of Tucker Carlson. The show’s time slot was being guest hosted by Brian Kilmeade at the time.
However, Tucker Carlson did not remain silent over the leftists’ media meltdowns over the headline, nor Fox’s usage of the graphic. The Brilliant cultural agitator dedicated a portion of his ‘Tucker on Twitter’ show to report on the fate of the FOX News employee who posted the “wannabe dictator” label. Apparently, FOX fired him.

Tucker Carlson said in his monologue :
Beneath those videos, at the bottom of the screen, Fox’s banner read this way quote wannabe dictator speaks at the White House after having his political rival arrested. Those words were up for less than 30 seconds, but the effect was immediate. Inside Fox, the women who run the network panicked. First, they scolded the producer who put the banner on the screen. Less than 24 hours after that, he resigned. He’d been at Fox for more than a decade. He was considered one of the most capable people in the building. He offered to stay for the customary two weeks, but Fox told him to clear out his desk and leave immediately. Then the company issued a public apology for the 27 2nd long wannabe dictator line.
