During more of their fawning coverage of Trump’s first 100 days, the talking heads on Fox did their best to downplay his horrible sinking poll numbers.
As John already discussed here, they were none too happy at the network that the media has been reporting on Trump’s economic destruction. During a segment on Tuesday’s Outnumbered, after making many of the same complaints, cohost Emily Campagno basically tried to make that point that it doesn’t matter how bad the poll numbers are because his base still loves him.
Here’s Campagno after Kayleigh McEnany pretended Trump’s going to be the next FDR if he can get Congress to pass no tax on tips, no tax on overtime, no tax on Social Security, making auto payments tax deductible in their “big beautiful bill” they keep boasting about.
CAMPAGNO: Look, this is sort of a tale of two cities, right, but instead it’s a tale of two voting blocs, and the reality is that obviously the majority of voters, the majority of Americans handily elected president Trump.
So when we talk about the media coverage. and you talk about these legacy defining life changing things for Americans, we’re always going to see the media either disregarding or failing to acknowledge it.
