Furious MAGA influencer blasts Fox News as ‘TV for stupid people’ after booking yanked



Far-right activist Laura Loomer unloaded on Fox News on Thursday, branding the network "TV for stupid people" after management yanked her booking to discuss an exclusive Zelensky interview and then aired a segment days later on whether AI could fix women's boyfriends.

Loomer had spent late July in Ukraine, traveling to Kyiv and Kharkiv and reversing years of pro-Russia commentary. She landed a 45-minute sit-down with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky that CNN described as an "exceedingly friendly" interview. Trump shared a clip on Truth Social and wrote, "Very good!!!"

Despite that presidential seal of approval, Loomer says Fox News wanted no part of her scoop. In a post published on X, she said host Howard Kurtz had booked her on his podcast to talk through the reporting before management intervened.

"Fox News management killed the spot off 20 minutes before the interview was supposed to take place," she wrote.

She was not subtle about what she saw as the network's real priorities.

"They had no time for the biggest interview of the week, but they had time for a segment 2 days later on whether AI can 'fix your boyfriend,'" she wrote, punctuating the complaint with a clown emoji.

Fox & Friends aired a segment earlier this week featuring contributor Brett Cooper analyzing the "stay-at-home boyfriend" trend and a new AI agent called Orchid pitched as a tool to help men manage relationship tasks.

"Fox News is truly TV for stupid people," Loomer wrote. "They won't talk about things that actually matter, but they always have time for bimbo guests and bimbo news stories that have no actual news value."

The blowup is the latest chapter in a slow-motion feud between the Trump ally and the network's leadership. Loomer erupted at Fox News CEO Suzanne Scott over the same canceled booking, alleging she has been on an internal blacklist since 2017.

Loomer also claimed her Ukraine reporting rattled Russian state television enough to prompt calls for her assassination. Kremlin propagandist Vladimir Solovyov devoted part of a recent broadcast to Loomer, branding her a "fool" and saying she should be "rolled into the asphalt."
