==== CNN's Jake Tapper ====
In November 2017, following the [[2017 New York City truck attack]] wherein a terrorist shouted "Allahu Akbar", Fox News distorted a statement by [[Jake Tapper]] to make it appear as if he had said "[[Allahu Akbar]]" can be used under the most "beautiful circumstances". Fox News omitted that Tapper had said the use of "Allahu Akbar" in the terrorist attack was not one of these beautiful circumstances. A headline on FoxNews.com was preceded by a tag reading "OUTRAGEOUS". The Fox News Twitter account distorted the statement even more, saying "Jake Tapper Says 'Allahu Akbar' Is 'Beautiful' Right After NYC Terror Attack" in a tweet that was later deleted. Tapper chastised Fox News for choosing to "deliberately lie" and said "there was a time when one could tell the difference between Fox and the nutjobs at ''[[Infowars]]''. It's getting tougher and tougher. Lies are lies."<ref name="Abadi-2017">{{Cite news |last=Abadi |first=Mark |date=November 2, 2017 |title=Jake Tapper slams Fox News for misrepresenting comments about New York City terror attack |work=[[Business Insider]] |url=https://www.businessinsider.com/jake-tapper-fox-news-lying-allahu-akbar-beautiful-2017-11 |access-date=November 2, 2017 |archive-date=November 2, 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171102042735/http://www.businessinsider.com/jake-tapper-fox-news-lying-allahu-akbar-beautiful-2017-11 |url-status=live }}</ref> In 2009, Tapper had come to the defense of Fox News while he was a White House correspondent for ABC News, after the [[Obama administration]] claimed that the network was not a legitimate news organization.<ref name="Tornoe-2017">{{Cite news |url=http://www.philly.com/philly/entertainment/television/cnn-jake-tapper-allahu-akbar-fox-news-nyc-attack-sean-hannity-20171102.html |title=Jake Tapper feuds with Fox News, Sean Hannity over 'Allahu Akbar' comments |first=Rob |last=Tornoe |date=November 2, 2017 |newspaper=The Philadelphia Inquirer |access-date=November 2, 2017 |archive-date=November 2, 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171102214409/http://www.philly.com/philly/entertainment/television/cnn-jake-tapper-allahu-akbar-fox-news-nyc-attack-sean-hannity-20171102.html |url-status=live }}</ref>

In a ''Washington Post'' column, [[Erik Wemple]] said Chris Wallace had covered ''The New York Times'' story himself on ''Fox News Sunday'', adding: "Here's another case of the differing standards between Fox News's opinion operation", which has given "a state-run vibe on all matters related to Trump", compared to Fox News's news operation, which has provided "mostly sane coverage".<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/erik-wemple/wp/2017/07/24/fox-friends-issues-update-on-new-york-times-isis-flap-no-apology/ |title=''Fox & Friends'' issues 'update' on New York Times-ISIS flap.
