When former President Donald J. Trump spoke to a pleasant crowd on Tuesday in his first go to to Washington since leaving workplace, he was coated extensively by a spread of stories shops, each mainstream ones and people extra sympathetic to him.

There was one notable outlier: Fox Information.

The community, which helped make Mr. Trump a power on the American proper, devoted little airtime to his speech. It didn’t broadcast his remarks reside — and hasn’t completed so for many of his rallies over the previous 12 months.

However it did go reside with a competing speech that former Vice President Mike Pence delivered the identical day, at a lodge lower than a mile away. For roughly 17 minutes on Tuesday afternoon, Fox viewers heard Mr. Pence uninterrupted.

The snub mirrored a sample in the way in which that Fox’s information programming has handled the previous president currently: skeptically and generally harshly, even because the community’s extremely rated and influential prime-time hosts, like Sean Hannity, proceed to defend him and deflect from the current revelations of the Jan. 6 hearings.

Fox despatched a reporter to cowl Mr. Trump on Tuesday and included snippets of his speech in its protection all through the day. However the community’s apply since Mr. Trump left workplace has been to largely ignore his frequent political rallies, leaving them to smaller, extra devoted shops like Newsmax and One America Information, which carry them reside and infrequently in full.

On Friday, for example, when Mr. Trump was talking to a crowd of supporters in Arizona earlier than the state’s Aug. 2 main elections, Fox Information saved its typical programming schedule, with one twist. Laura Ingraham’s 10 p.m. program featured her interview with Gov. Ron DeSantis of Florida, who’s extensively believed to be contemplating a marketing campaign for the Republican presidential nomination in 2024.

On Monday, “Fox & Pals,” which helped defend Mr. Trump by 4 years of controversy and chaos, identified that Mr. DeSantis’s ballot numbers have been rising in hypothetical matchups of potential Republican candidates in 2024.

Mr. Trump was not happy. On his social media community, Reality Social, he criticized “Fox & Pals” for going to “the darkish aspect.” He added: “@foxandfriends simply actually botched my ballot numbers, little doubt on goal. That present has been horrible.”
