Fox News Censors White House Comment on Biden's Age Criticism

Fox News declined to publish two comments from the White House that referenced the advanced age of Rupert Murdoch, the 92-year-old chair of Fox News’ parent company, in a story criticizing President Joe Biden’s age. The White House was frustrated with the media focus on Biden's age and acuity, while Fox News is facing lawsuits related to its embrace of former President Donald Trump’s election falsehoods. The article included attacks on Biden's age from conservative media figures and political strategists, but also quotes from defenders of Biden. Public opinion surveys show worries about Biden's age and mental fitness, which could impact his reelection bid.
