Subhead:  “While the Wall Street Journal calls his tariffs ‘the dumbest trade war,’ Fox News is celebrating Trump as a ‘master negotiator’ “

“Right-wing media mogul Rupert Murdoch’s U.S. outlets have been split in their coverage of President Donald Trump’s tariff wars with Mexico, Canada, and China, with The Wall Street Journal calling the tariffs Trump’s ‘dumbest trade war’ and Fox News praising Trump as a ‘master negotiator.’ The New York Post has fallen somewhere in between, with some news-side stories relaying the economic consequences of the tariffs while its editorial board is praising Trump’s “high risk” move.”
