Fox News mocked for spinning Trump's sparse Great American State Fair crowd

Fox News was roundly mocked on Sunday after one segment claimed that pictures of the sparsely attended Great American State Fair, organized by an entity linked to President Donald Trump called Freedom 250, did not tell the full story of the event. Kevin Corke, Fox News's senior national correspondent, claimed on The Big Weekend Show that the energy at the state fair was much greater than what pictures of the event showed. Several photos emerged online on Sunday showing that few people were at the event, held at the National Mall, due to rainstorms in the area. Sometimes the pictures don't tell the full story because if you look behind us, a couple of hundred people back there, but when you make your way over here, and you're in this wash of people, Corke said. Onlookers mocked Corke's claims on social media. Don't believe your lying eyes. Believe Fox, Ron Filipkowski, editor-in-chief of MeidasTouch, posted on X. Pictures tell the story, Fred Wellman, a Democratic political candidate in Missouri, posted on X. Allow me to explain why you should not believe your lying eyes, Kelly Scaletta, a political commentator known as Machine Pun Kelly online, posted on X. Are the people in the room with you right now? Hemant Mehta, a writer and former Jeopardy! champion, posted on X.
