Rupert Murdoch’s influential U.S. media outlets—including Fox News, The Wall Street Journal, and the New York Post—have ramped up criticism of Vice President JD Vance.

This wave of negative coverage follows a failed attempt by these outlets to prevent Donald Trump from selecting Vance as his 2024 running mate. Since then, The Wall Street Journal alone has published over a dozen pieces attacking Vance, with similar coverage echoed by Fox News and the New York Post, according to a report from Breitbart News.

Sources close to the Trump-Vance camp argue the media criticism is part of a broader effort by “globalists” and “neocons” to undermine the current administration’s America First agenda. One insider stated that entrenched foreign policy voices feel threatened by the administration’s success on issues like negotiating peace in Ukraine, securing American hostages, and preventing Iran’s nuclear ambitions.
