Fox’s coverage of violent crime dropped after the midterms

• Fox News significantly decreased its volume of violent crime coverage in the week of the midterms, down 63% from the week prior.
  
  The network averaged 141 weekday violent crime segments per week from Labor Day through the Friday before the election; in the week of the midterms, Fox aired 71 weekday violent crime segments — a decrease of 50% compared to the prior average.
  
  Fox was open in its strategy of using violent crime as a political cudgel against Democrats throughout the midterms. Driven in part by Fox host Tucker Carlson's calls for Republicans to run on the issue, the network engaged in a monthslong campaign to tie Democrats and the Biden administration to violent crime, often by highlighting specific incidents in “Democratic cities” and blaming progressive criminal justice reform for individual violent crimes.

________________________________

There can be only one explanation: the election of many Democrats in the midterms has brought down the crime rate and Fox no longer sees the need to use this propaganda tool to push the GOP political agenda.

It can only be that.... right?

 

They are nothing more than pure right wing propaganda at this point

It’s disturbing the damage that one organization has done to this nation.

 

Jesus Christ, do we really want to get into what networks report on when CBS FINALLY admitted after two years the Hunter Biden laptop is real? How long was that storied buried for by the left? Geez, it got people banned from social media.

Yes, this is a whataboutism and I don't care because 1) libs do it in every thread with Trump, 2) there is nothing more hypocritical than the left wing media.

Now that the Colorado shooter is LGBTQ*2/6 and the Walmart shooter is black, you watch how fast those stories disappear in the left wing media, kinda like how they don't report on the invasion of our southern border or the number of overdose deaths thanks to the drugs smuggled in by the people who make our economy stronger and lower our crime rate.

Yes, you guys just got whatabouted big time. Deal with it.

 

This OP belongs in the opinion section of PF. A liberal organization's analysis of FOX news is not a current event. It is editorial commentary. Putting this sort of thing in the Current Events is spamming the Current Events section.

 

Stop it. You're stealing AJ's thunder.

 

Opinion? This is reporting on the FACT that Fox changed their coverage dramatically.

 

I noticed the Democrat party's promises student loan debts evaporating has also dried up like the morning mist after the midterms.

But don't worry I'm sure crime will remain high especially when you have DA s giving hardened criminals slap on the wrist and turning them loose

 

People say FOX is unbiased, but it was a literal funeral on their program following the midterms.

 

Republicans taking it away from people, that not gonna help them gain voters

I think republicans judges will let it through

 

Lol. And you know what replaced that coverage? The midterms and counting the results for 3 weeks while the Democrats figured out how many mail-in ballots they had to "find". So, "No. It can't only be that". Get a clue. You know you don't have to take the blue pill.

 

It was the Constitution that took it away from them.

You see the Constitution prohibits the executive Branch from simply allotting massive amounts of money without going through Congress first.

Any relatively educated voter would understand that.

But then again the fact that they took out a loan they don't understand they have to pay back means the Democrats might just be successful in hoodwinking them with a bunch of BS.

Democrats are certainly banking on it.

 

Msm in general is flawed. Unfortunately cnn, msnbc more than most. Fox News should work on improving thiugh.

 

LSM's coverage of crime rates increased after the mid-term with Democrats now talking about it. Biden is also acknowledging the increase in violence.

 

Lol…not when you have the orange pill to suck on, eh?
Keep doubling down on trumps big lie and see how much more support the maga mob loses. Get a clue.

 

Except that the subject is less important since the midterms are over.

 

No actually they rightfully became more important to LSM and the Democrats after the election. Seems Democratic mayors and governors have the okay to acknowledge the problem.

 

The New York Post on November 11 included this statement in an article. Democrats refused to acknowledge crime was going up in the US period. It was just the Republicans who were fear mongering.

“We haven’t been messaging adequately on crime,” Rep. Jerry Nadler told Politico. “The Republican mantra is that crime is going up in Democratic cities. The fact is, crime is going up all over.”

 

nope, Republicans fought to take it away, these voters will remember that

these are not just democrats that get student loans

 

And the caravans.....

 

When Brett Baer says "fair and balanced", he clenches.

 

You can deny it all you want but what I said is true.

 

and what is ironic, is it was Republicans that told them how to come here, what the current laws were and how to apply

yet the same republicans want to blame democrats for them listening to what they said and trying to come

 

This is very TRUE!

 

Last year Milwaukee broke its record for murders. Two weeks ago Milwaukee broke last years record. Violent crime is an issue. Shame on Fox for reducing coverage.

More alarming is that the federal government is ceasing to collect this data. They realize that the data can be used to effect change and get corrupt politicians thrown out of the office. This is what the Democrats now do, if the data shines on a light on the results of their policies.... they remove the data. Three years from now, Conservatives won't be able to point to the crime data because it will not exist. The Democrats are just evil human beings concerned only with conserving their own power and this action proves it beyond dispute.

you can think republicans don't get student loans too all you want, but what I said is true
