Trump says he got 'a couple of people from Fox' to write jokes for him at a campaign dinner. Fox News says that didn't happen.
Briefly

Fox News Channel categorically rejected Donald Trump's claim that its employees contributed jokes for his recent appearance, emphasizing the ethical implications of such an allegation. They stated that no staff or freelancers assisted him.
During Trump's recent interview, he stated, 'I shouldn't say that. But they wrote some jokes. For the most part, I didn't like any of them.' This comment has raised eyebrows regarding the nature of media relationships.
The wall of separation between journalism and comedy appears to blur during such events, raising questions about transparency. Fox's swift denial draws attention to the ethical standards so often expected from news organizations.
While candidates traditionally rely on comedians for humor in speeches, Trump’s remark insinuates a direct involvement of Fox personnel, which would invite scrutiny and skepticism over journalistic practices.
