NFL faces Justice Department probe after fans express frustration with streaming pivot: report
The Justice Department reportedly opened an investigation into the NFL on Thursday over whether the league used anticompetitive tactics against fans.
The Wall Street Journal first reported the investigation.
Fox News Digital reached out to the Justice Department and the NFL for comment.

The reported investigation comes as Trump administration officials and lawmakers have warned about revisiting the Sports Broadcasting Act of 1961. The law allows the NFL to negotiate league-wide TV deals without violating U.S. antitrust rules, provided it meets certain conditions, including protecting customer access.
Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, the chair of the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Antitrust, Competition Policy and Consumer Rights, addressed the issue in a letter to the Justice Department and the Federal Trade Commission. He requested a review of the league’s antitrust exemption status.
Meanwhile, surging streaming prices and sky-high ticket costs have paired to leave the average American NFL fan boxed out of watching their beloved game altogether or making it impossible to find.
A Fox News poll in March indicated that 72% of sports fans think major sporting events should stay free on broadcast TV, amid reports that the NFL is considering allowing teams to sell the rights to preseason games to streaming services.
NFL FANS’ 2025 BILLS COME UNDER FOCUS AS FCC PROBES THE RISE OF SPORTS STREAMING SERVICES
FCC Chairman Brendan Carr said on "Fox & Friends" last month that officials are reviewing thousands of comments on whether a significant share of sports should remain free on broadcast television.
Carr said the FCC is looking into whether sports leagues should continue to benefit from a special antitrust exemption, and that public comments solicited on the matter largely support keeping games more accessible.
"We actually got thousands and thousands of comments. It was a big number for the FCC... The vast majority so far, based on an initial assessment, support keeping a significant portion of these sports games on free, over-the-air broadcast TV," Carr said.
FORMER NFL STARS WEIGH PROS AND CONS OF LEAGUE'S GLOBAL EXPANSION, STREAMING GAMES
"So, we'll be looking at it. There could be actions at other portions of the government, and Congress as well, if these sports leagues continue to push this issue."
Carr made his feelings clear, stating he thinks the experience of finding a game to watch has become frustrating and costly.
"You effectively have to have a computer science degree to decipher this," he said, adding that, historically, broadcast TV and sports leagues have had a mutually beneficial relationship that allowed leagues to grow while supporting local news.
"We're at a tipping point where these leagues can push it so far, putting games behind paywalls, that they undermine their ability to claim that antitrust exemption."
NFL fans themselves have also spoken out about the league’s streaming strategy.
OutKick’s Davey Hudson took to the streets of Nashville and New York City last month to talk to aggrieved football fans.
"I think it’s frustrating when you just want to watch a game, and you have to figure out what app it’s on. And then you're paying for multiple apps all the time," one fan said.
Another fan was blunt, calling the current system of watching games "f---ing stupid."
"Well, it’s f---king stupid, you have to get five different platforms to watch all of the games that you want to, and still you have to pay on top. It’s ridiculous at this point," the fan said.
One fan called it a "pain in the a--" to keep track of where and when the games are being streamed.
A different fan called it a "money grab," citing Netflix as the latest streaming service the NFL brought in to start broadcasting its games.
NFL fans who want access to every game need to purchase YouTube TV for "NFL Sunday Ticket," in addition to the costly subscriptions for all the streaming services the NFL broadcasts on. Those streaming services are Amazon Prime, Peacock and Netflix. The combination of those respective services is over $1,500 a year, and that doesn’t include the fees that come with basic cable packages or high-speed Wi-Fi that is needed to accommodate the platforms.

Rogue Dem bucks party on Trump war powers, calls Iran ‘47-year-old war crime’
A Democratic rogue isn’t buying his party’s argument that President Donald Trump was on the cusp of committing war crimes in Iran and plans to again stop their attempts to handcuff his policing power in the region.
"If you want to talk about a war crime, you know, Iran is a 47-year-old war crime," Sen. John Fetterman, D-Pa., said on "Hannity" Wednesday night.
Fetterman, a staunch backer of Israel, has time and again broken with his party on the war, joining Republicans to block several attempts by Senate Democrats to reassert Congress’ authority in the ongoing conflict.
He is again fracturing from the party line, as several of his peers, including Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., have declared that Trump's Iran mission, Operation Epic Fury, was a failure.
SCHUMER BLASTS TRUMP’S IRAN WAR AS FAILURE, MOVES TO REIN IN HIS WAR POWERS AMID CEASEFIRE
Congressional Democrats have demanded that Trump be removed from office for his posts on Easter Sunday and in recent days, in which he laid out an apocalyptic ultimatum for Iran to either reopen the Strait of Hormuz or see their "civilization die tonight."
"If you target civilian infrastructure for the purposes the president was talking about — in other words, what he's saying is, if you don't open the Strait of Hormuz, I'm going to blow up civilian infrastructure — that's a war crime," Sen. Chris Van Hollen, D-Md., said ahead of the ceasefire deal struck Tuesday night.
TOP GOP HAWK GRAHAM WARNS IRAN DEAL HAS ‘TROUBLING ASPECTS’ AS CEASEFIRE BEGINS
Schumer, speaking at a press conference in New York City Wednesday, argued that Trump’s action in Iran was "one of the very worst military and foreign policy actions that the United States has ever taken."
"This war has made us worse off today than before it started," Schumer said.
Fetterman strayed from top Senate Democrats’ messaging against Trump’s campaign in the Middle East and countered that the president’s actions have been for the better, particularly as negotiations for a full end to the conflict are gearing up.
TRUMP’S IRAN THREAT RATTLES GOP AS SOME REPUBLICANS BREAK RANKS AMID 2-WEEK CEASEFIRE
"Everything that's happened so far has made the world safer, and now we are in a position to finally finish it this way, with these kinds of important negotiation points," Fetterman said on "Hannity."
Senate Democrats plan to launch another attempt to handcuff Trump’s war powers when the upper chamber returns in the coming days. It would mark the fourth such attempt and will likely again be blocked by Republicans, despite some growing wary of the conflict.
Like previous attempts, Fetterman plans to cross the aisle to block Democrats’ plan.
"We are the force of good in the world and … now, we're not even 40 days into this," Fetterman said on "Hannity." "And now I’m reading that they're going to force another war powers vote, and I will vote against that, because we have to stand by our military and allow them to accomplish the goals of Epic Fury."
I went to the Masters and witnessed something amazing that had nothing to do with golf
If we built more of our culture around families instead of self-indulgence, maybe America could look a little more like Amen Corner.
After walking Augusta National on opening day of the Masters, that was the thought I couldn’t shake. Because the contrast is impossible to ignore. In a world that feels louder, more divided and honestly more self-obsessed by the day, this place runs on a completely different set of values, and somehow, it works better than everything else.
I’m a college kid. I live on my phone. I see what trends, what flops, what people pretend to care about and what they actually do. And yet every April, the Masters takes over everything, social media, conversations, group chats, even people who don’t care about golf suddenly care.
That doesn’t just happen.
GARY WOODLAND SAVORS MASTERS RETURN AFTER BRAIN SURGERY, PTSD BATTLE NEARLY ENDED HIS CAREER
Walking the course, what stood out wasn’t just how perfect everything looked, it was the people. Families everywhere. Dads explaining the game to their kids, friends who’ve clearly been coming back year after year, older couples just sitting there taking it all in like they’ve done for decades. Nobody was trying to make a scene. Nobody was turning it into content. People were just…present.
And in 2026, that’s rare.
Because most of our culture pushes the opposite. It tells you to chase yourself, build your brand, go viral, make everything about you. And then we act surprised when everything feels empty and disconnected.
MY WALK ACROSS AMERICA PROVES WE'RE NOT NEARLY AS DIVIDED AS DC CLAIMS
Augusta flips that on its head. It’s not about you, it’s about being part of something bigger, something that existed before you and will be there long after you. It’s about sharing that with the people next to you.
That’s why it works. That’s why it lasts. And that’s why, nearly 90 years in, it’s not fading, it’s dominating.
While everything else is constantly trying to reinvent itself to stay relevant, the Masters just protects what matters. It doesn’t bend with every trend or apologize for what it is. It holds the line, and because of that, the world comes to it every single April.
AS MINNEAPOLIS FRACTURES, MOBILE SHOWS HOW WORK, LAW AND GOD STILL UNITE
Because people are starving for something real.
Walking those fairways felt like stepping into a version of America we all recognize, even if we don’t see it enough anymore, one built on respect, tradition, and families actually spending time together instead of staring at separate screens. Not perfect, but grounded. Stable. Normal.
And maybe that’s why we’re drawn to it.
Because it reminds us of what America used to feel like, and what it could feel like again.

The Masters isn’t just a golf tournament. It’s one of the last beacons of Western civilization still standing. Not because it’s flashy or loud, but because it refuses to become something it’s not.
I walked out of Augusta realizing this wasn’t really about golf at all. It was about what happens when you don’t cave, when you build something on values that actually matter and protect it.
MASTERS FANS CHEER LOW PRICES AS AUGUSTA NATIONAL CONCESSIONS 'FEEL UNREAL' WITH $1.50 SANDWICHES
For a few hours, watching families line those fairways, hearing nothing but applause and conversation, seeing people enjoy something together without turning it into a fight, I didn’t feel like I was watching something outdated.
I felt like I was watching something right.
And if more of our culture looked like that, we wouldn’t be arguing about how to fix things.
We’d already know.
Michael J Fox mocks CNN after network's death tribute mistake
Michael J. Fox is alive and well, despite rumors of his death circulating online.
One day after CNN ignited a death scare by releasing a video package titled "Remembering the life of actor Michael J. Fox" on Wednesday, the legendary actor — who has been living with Parkinson's disease since 1991 — reassured fans that he is doing just fine.
"How do you react when you turn on the TV and CNN is reporting your death?" Fox, 64, wrote on his Threads account. "Do you… A) switch to MSNBC, or whatever they are calling themselves these days, (B) Pour scolding hot water on your lap, if it hurts your fine, (C) Call your wife, hopefully she’s concerned but reassuring, (D) Relax, they do this once every year, (E) Ask yourself wtf?"
MICHAEL J. FOX CALLS OUT 'BULLY CULTURE' AND NAMES HIS BIGGEST BULLY IN NEW INTERVIEW
"I thought the world was ending, but apparently it’s just me and I’m ok," he concluded. "Love, Mike."
According to Entertainment Weekly, the package that was shared across the network's various sites featured interview excerpts and clips of Fox’s work through the years.
"He came into our living rooms on the small screen each week as Alex P. Keaton [on 'Family Ties'] and eventually onto the big screen as Marty McFly in 'Back to the Future,'" a narrator said in the clip, per EW. "But Michael J. Fox had a compelling third act as Parkinson's sufferer and stem cell research advocate."

"His most lasting role may have been as a tireless voice against Parkinson's, a performance the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences honored with the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award in 2022," the narrator continued. "In the end, Fox came to understand that his battle against the disease brought out the best in him."
MICHAEL J. FOX DOESN'T WANT A 'DRAMATIC' DEATH AFTER BATTLING PARKINSON'S FOR 35 YEARS
In a statement to Entertainment Weekly, a spokesperson for CNN apologized to Fox and his family for the blunder.
"The package was published in error; we have removed it from our platforms and send our apologies to Michael J. Fox and his family," the spokesperson told the outlet.
Last year, the "Back to the Future" star made the decision to return to the screen after five years in retirement. Fox admitted he lives life "on the edge of my energy."
"I just feel I have to," he told USA Today. "It's a tradeoff. I want to be around for everything."

"I want to be active at everything, keep working, keep my partnerships going, my good friends, and enjoy my time with my family," he added. "And it's all good; it's so much better than it could be."
Fox filmed a three-episode guest arc for the third season of "Shrinking," and his character suffers from Parkinson's disease.
"It was the first time ever I get to show up on-set, and I didn’t have to worry about, am I too tired or coughing or anything," he told People. "I just do it. It was really good, because for the moments when I say, ‘I’m not going to be able to do this,’ then I say, ‘Well, I’ll just deal with how I can’t do it in the scene.’ And you get through it."
On Tuesday, Fox made an appearance at PaleyFest in Los Angeles, joining the wrap party for Season 3 of "Shrinking."

US allowing some Nigeria embassy staff to evacuate over 'deteriorating security situation'
The State Department said it authorized the departure of some staff at its embassy in Nigeria over the "deteriorating security situation" in the African country.
The development comes weeks after the U.S. military reportedly sent MQ-9 Reaper drones to Nigeria amid fears of a renewed insurgency by the terrorist group Boko Haram. The day before the authorization was issued, gunmen attacked two villages about 155 miles from Abuja, where the U.S. embassy is located, killing 20 people, residents told The Associated Press.
"On April 8, 2026, the U.S. Department of State authorized the voluntary departure of non-emergency U.S. government employees and family members from U.S. Embassy Abuja due to the deteriorating security situation," the U.S. Embassy and Consulate in Nigeria said. "The U.S. Embassy in Abuja will remain open but will have limited ability to provide emergency services to U.S. citizens in Nigeria."
"The U.S. Consulate General in Lagos will continue to provide routine and emergency services to U.S. citizens in Nigeria," it added. "The Department of State Travel Advisory for Nigeria remains at Level 3, recommending travelers reconsider travel to Nigeria due to crime, terrorism, civil unrest, kidnapping, armed gangs, and inconsistent availability of health care services."
GUNMEN ON BIKES STORM NIGERIA VILLAGE ON PALM SUNDAY, KILLING AT LEAST 20
The embassy also said, "U.S. citizens in Abuja should consider departing if you do not need to remain for emergency or essential purposes."
The recent attacks occurred in the early hours of Tuesday in Bagna and Erena, located in the Shiroro area of Niger state.
"They came on motorbikes and began shooting. It was a surprise attack, because it was in the early hours of the morning," Jibrin Isah, who lives in Erena, told the AP.
100 US TROOPS LAND IN NIGERIA AS ISLAMIC MILITANTS THREATEN WEST AFRICA REGIONAL SECURITY
Residents said at least 20 people were killed, with more missing. However, local police said only three people were killed.
The State Department said in a travel advisory issued Wednesday that there is "risk of terrorist violence, including terrorist attacks and other activity in Nigeria," adding, "Terrorists collaborate with local gangs to expand their reach" and "They may attack with little or no warning."
The MQ-9 drones reportedly were deployed to Nigeria in late March after 200 U.S. troops arrived in February to provide training and intelligence. Nigeria, Africa’s most populous country, is battling a complex security crisis, especially in the north of the country.
A spokesperson for AFRICOM, the U.S. Africa Command, had told the AP that U.S. troops "are working alongside their Nigerian counterparts to provide intelligence support, advisory assistance, and targeted training in support of the Nigerian Armed Forces."
Among the most prominent Islamic militant groups active in Nigeria are Boko Haram and its breakaway faction, which is affiliated with the Islamic State and is known as Islamic State West Africa Province, or ISWAP.
There is also the ISIS-linked Lakurawa, as well as other "bandit" groups that specialize in kidnapping for ransom and illegal mining.
President Donald Trump has spoken out against violence targeting Christians in Nigeria, telling Fox News Radio last year, "I’m really angry about it" and "What’s happening in Nigeria is a disgrace."
Secretary of War Pete Hegseth also met with Nigerian national security advisor Nuhu Ribadu last November amid threats from Trump to cut off aid to Nigeria if the country "continues to allow the killing of Christians." Nigerian officials have pushed back on the accusation.

Jack Nicklaus and Gary Player rally behind Tiger Woods as he seeks treatment after DUI arrest
Jack Nicklaus and Gary Player know all about the grind of golf. The legendary duo combined for nine green jackets among their 27 total major victories.
Tiger Woods has won the Masters five times, and while he will be absent from Augusta this year, he is still in the national spotlight after his arrest last month.
Amid a broken-down body, Woods has undergone nearly 30 surgeries on his back and leg, and during his DUI arrest, authorities said deputies found pills identified to be hydrocodone, a prescription opioid for pain medication.

"Do I blame him for taking medicine? Hell, no. He has sleep deprivation. Do I blame him for taking something to help him sleep? No," Player said Thursday at Augusta, via ESPN.
But Player said Woods must be smarter with his decision-making.
"I don't think he should drive a car. When you're taking that medicine, it's dangerous when you're driving a car, same as it's dangerous when you look at your cell phone in the car."
LISTEN TO CRIME & JUSTICE PODCAST ON TIGER WOODS
To make matters worse, Woods admitted to authorities after the crash that he had been looking at his phone. Woods pleaded not guilty to driving under the influence but announced he would "seek treatment" following his arrest.
"My heart goes out for him," Player said. "There's nothing worse than living in pain every day of your life. You can't think of anything worse. I just hope he can get it all sorted out because he's such an asset to golf and has done so much for the game."
Nicklaus added, "Just whatever you need to help you and get back, because I think golf needs him, and we'd love to have him back."
Woods was granted permission on April 1 to travel out of the country "to enter into comprehensive inpatient treatment." It is believed he is at a facility in Switzerland.
Authorities said in a court order that a subpoena will be issued later this month for Woods' prescription drug records from Jan. 1 through the day of his crash.

DAVID MARCUS: Trump's high-stakes geopolitical poker is restoring US power
Henry Nau once penned a fascinating article in Commentary magazine in which he argued that the foreign policy of Barack Obama was like a jigsaw puzzle, while the more traditional approach of George W. Bush was like a chessboard. In more recent years, I have often wondered what President Donald Trump’s game is.
Today, as Operation Epic Fury in Iran appears to wind down, it has become clear that Trump plays foreign policy like a massive geopolitical poker game, and that he is holding a winning hand.
What Nau meant about Obama’s jigsaw style is that, under his "lead from behind" approach, every nation on Earth, friend and foe alike, holds a piece of a global puzzle, and if we all just put them down in the right place, the world’s problems will be solved.
The problem with the jigsaw puzzle approach is that countries such as Russia and China, to say nothing of Iran, have very different ideas about what picture the finished puzzle should show, and therefore, the pieces never quite fit.
IRAN WAR NEARS ‘COMPLETION’ AS TRUMP EYES DEADLINE — WHAT THE ENDGAME COULD LOOK LIKE
In the chessboard method of foreign policy, as used by both Bush administrations, great nations control territory on the board either by possessing it or threatening it from afar. In times of war, there are sometimes checkmates, but generally, the goal is to maintain balance.
It is this very global balance that Trump rejects and which has led him to eschew the chessboard in favor of the riskier game of poker. He views the last 40 years of global balance as a time when the United States has been badly taken advantage of.
Trump’s expressed desire to obtain Greenland is a perfect example of his worldview. He knows, as does everyone else, that when push comes to shove, it will be the American taxpayer who funds the defense of the crucial Arctic island against Russia and China, so why should Denmark control it?
STEVE FORBES: IRAN’S NUCLEAR INSANITY LEAVES AMERICA AND ALLIES NO ROOM TO BLINK
It is in Iran, with Operation Epic Freedom, where we see the president’s geopolitical poker style in clearest relief. His ultimatums have been "antes." His threat to destroy Iranian civilization forced their leaders to push their most precious asset, the Strait of Hormuz, into the middle of the table.
Trump knows two things here. One, as he likes to say himself, he holds the better cards. Two, and maybe more importantly, he has a near infinite stake. He didn’t fold in accepting a two-week ceasefire, because he can end it any time he wants. Any day could be bridge and power plant day.
Trump-deranged naysayers insist that Iran has won the war. But let’s look at what the United States has achieved here, or so to speak, the pots that Trump has won.
WINNING THE BATTLES, LOSING THE WAR? AMERICA MUST DEFINE THE ENDGAME IN IRAN
Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and his 150 or so closest friends in the regime are dead, Iran’s military is in shambles, and its nuclear program, whatever is left of it, is further degraded.
Most importantly, over the last month, Israel, Saudi Arabia and the Gulf states have been in a united fight against Iran. If I had told you that would happen when Trump came down the golden escalator, you would have laughed at me.
Some say this was a failure because Trump didn’t follow through. But a month ago, he said to the Iranian people, "We’re going to take out your leaders and then the rest is up to you." We did that, and whether or not the people there are able to rise up and throw out the government is, as it always was, up to them.
TRUMP FIGHTING FIERCE BATTLES, AT HOME AND ABROAD: WHY HE CASUALLY DISMISSES THE CONSEQUENCES
Trump doesn’t want a forever war, and we aren’t getting one. It remains to be seen, but it is very likely that a military dictatorship is still preferable to a death-cult theocracy.
Like any good poker player, Trump knows how to bluff on the global stage, and even when he folds one hand, it always gives him crucial information about his opponent, be it Iran, or even NATO.
What Trump is really doing is resetting the global order away from one in which the United States finances its own decline in influence, to one in which we control what we pay for.
The president is willing to upend the global balance to achieve this goal because he believes it is that very balance that is holding America back.
Trump will not play the slow game of foreign-policy chess in which draws are the norm, nor will he pretend to play jigsaw with our committed foes. Instead, Trump will continue to play the hand that voters gave him, and he has plenty of cards left to throw down.
Vulnerable Dem incumbent caught calling home state ‘stolen land’ in resurfaced video
A House Democrat running for re-election in a battleground district previously said his home state was "stolen land" and claimed racism was "embedded" into nearly everything, according to a resurfaced video reviewed by Fox News Digital.
"We are on stolen land," Rep. Gabe Vasquez, N.M., said in 2020 before entering Congress during an interview with a New Mexico-based outlet. He added the land used to be Mexican territory and before that was inhabited by Native Americans.
"Just about every part of life that we experience has some racism embedded into it," Vasquez continued. "I have become less optimistic about where this country stands in terms of being able to eradicate racism, because it is intergenerational. It is passed on. It is embedded into our system."
Vasquez, who is seeking a third term in November, made the remarks while serving as a city councilmember of Las Cruces — the largest city in his southwestern New Mexico district. He entered Congress in January 2023 after defeating a Republican incumbent while positioning himself as a moderate.
Vasquez also suggested that he was open to replacing some of the city’s police officers with licensed psychologists and clinicians to respond to certain events during the interview.
"Those are the types of things that I'm committed to supporting, where if we do have to take budget away from a specific department, whether you know, it be police or otherwise," Vasquez said, adding that he believed it was unnecessary with the current budget.
"If we don't need those positions anymore, if we don't need those budget line items anymore, then we need to get rid of them," he continued. "And that's a decision I'm happy to try to champion at the city council."
Vasquez in 2020 appeared to justify rioting following the death of George Floyd, CNN’s KFile first reported. He also voiced support for the defund the police movement while using a pseudonym during an interview with a local outlet at a Black Lives Matter protest that year.
The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) said Vasquez has been an unequivocal supporter of law enforcement during his House tenure in a statement to Fox News Digital.
"Rep. Vasquez has supported increased funding for law enforcement for his entire political career, including over $4 billion for state and local police as Congressman just this year," DCCC spokesperson Anna Elsasser said.
The New Mexico Democrat has joined the majority of House Democrats in refusing to fund federal immigration enforcement absent reforms, including the tightening of warrant requirements and prohibiting officers from wearing masks.
The Republican National Committee sharply criticized Vasquez’s prior comments in a statement to Fox News Digital.
"Gabe Vasquez is a truly sick individual who may have a terminal case of the woke mind virus," RNC spokesman Zach Kraft said in a statement. "He should get the help he needs to realize how insane it is to call every single American racist, and he should be nowhere near Congress."
Vasquez is a top target of national Republicans, who are mounting a second attempt to unseat him after he improved his performance in 2024 despite Trump carrying the district.
The nonpartisan Cook Political Report shifted the race from "toss-up" to "lean Democrat" in January, citing President Donald Trump's declining job approval and Democrats’ strong electoral performance in 2025.
Fox News Digital reached out to Vasquez’s campaign for comment.

CNN's Dana Bash says that objective reporting no longer means just 'giving all sides'
CNN anchor Dana Bash said "objective reporting" no longer means giving "all sides" of an issue.
The "Inside Politics" host was featured in an April cover spread for Modern Luxury's DC magazine as one of Washington's "steadiest voices" based on her habit of "interrogating inconsistencies" in her guests and pushing back on incomplete narratives.
"Where once the journalistic mandate was often framed as presenting opposing viewpoints and allowing the audience to decide, Bash argues that such symmetry no longer suffices," the article stated.
CNN HOST GETS IN HEATED EXCHANGE WITH GOP REP OVER TRUMP'S INDICTMENT: 'JUST DOESN'T MAKE SENSE'
Bash argued that objective reporting now means explaining when a person says something false or misleading instead of presenting all sides.
"Objective reporting doesn't mean just giving all sides of the issue," Bash said. "Objective reporting now, rightly so, means explaining what somebody says when it's false or when it's not right or when it's misleading."
Bash also spoke about holding strong against "increasing hostility" toward the media by some "political figures."
"It's intimidation," Bash said. "There have been different governments over decades who have tried to do that. And when it's successful, that's when it gets scary in a democracy. The principle is not to succumb to that."
KATIE COURIC REJECTS 'BOTHSIDESISM' IN NEWS COVERAGE, SAYS PEOPLE DON'T WANT 'JUST THE FACTS'
Fox News Digital reached out to CNN and the White House for comment.
Bash has a history of sparring with guests on her show. In January, she pressed then-Border Patrol commander Gregory Bovino on the deadly shooting of Alex Pretti by a Border Patrol agent after Bovino claimed Pretti had intended to do "maximum damage" before his death.
"There’s no evidence that he was perpetrating violence," Bash argued. "And there’s no evidence, unless you have it, and we’d love to see it if there is, that he was intending to massacre law enforcement other than the fact that he was there, and he had a gun lawfully."
"He meant to be there beforehand. Again, Dana, he came there beforehand for a reason," Bovino said.
"How do you know that? How do you know that?" Bash asked.
"Because he was there, because he was there," Bovino responded.
She also had a contentious interview with then-vice presidential candidate JD Vance in 2024 after Vance defended claims that migrants in Springfield, Ohio, were "eating their pets."
"I think that if Kamala Harris and Tim Walz were making unsubstantiated claims that had racist undertones about people eating dogs and cats, I would, and they didn‘t answer the questions about that, then I would have similar interactions with them. As you know, I am very grateful that you come on the show, as I am for other Republicans. But this is something that you’re hearing from constituents. I did a lot of reporting. I’ve talked to people in Ohio over the weekend, and they’re really worried about these claims," Bash said.
