truth social was more people waiting to get on than cnn+ has viewers.Fox News says it didn't authorize Truth Social account
Just days after a verified account for Fox News appeared on former President Trump's social media app, Truth Social, a Fox News spokesperson says the network has nothing to do with the account.
Why it matters: Investors clearly would have viewed Fox News' participation as a boon for the struggling app.
Be smart: As Axios previously reported, real-looking accounts for numerous big media and sports brands —including Fox Sports, TMZ, NFL, NASA and NASCAR — have existed on Truth Social for months, and often are promoted to new users. But none are verified, instead including a small "BOT" disclaimer on their accounts.
- But the Fox News spokesperson tells Axios, "We are not on Truth Social."
- If you click the disclaimer, you learn that: "This account is an RSS feed aggregating bot, and is not managed by or affiliated with the referenced news outlet."
- There is no "BOT" disclaimer on Fox News' account, even though the network says it didn't authorize any such use.
- Devin Nunes didn't return a request for comment.
