Fox News Had Only 3 Minutes of Epstein Coverage in the Last 4 Days - and 85 Minutes of Sydney Sweeney's Jeans Ad

Fox News Had Only 3 Minutes of Epstein Coverage in the Last 4 Days – and 85 Minutes of Sydney Sweeney’s Jeans Ad (The Wrap)

The news channel mentioned the controversial American Eagle campaign 62 times since Monday, Media Matters reports

The last four days have seen Fox News dedicate much more time to covering the “woke mob” online outrage surrounding Sydney Sweeney’s American Eagle jeans ad than the latest developments around President Donald Trump and his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein — 85 minutes compared to three minutes, to be exact.

According to a Thursday report by Media Matters, the news organization logged 85 minutes of time breaking down the online reaction to the actresses’ viral jeans ad. Comparatively, Fox News spent a meager three minutes talking about Epstein and new comments the president made about the disgraced financier during his trip to Scotland.

The same bot farms that push the right wing misinformation also push the false ”woke” outrages of the day.

The fascist propaganda machine never rests.

Fox floods the screen with content free news as a means of moving public perception towards the trivial and away from of what really matters.
After all, sex always sells.
Unless it's about Trump's association with pedophiles.
