Fox News viewers never saw Trump's "glad he's dead" Mueller tweet (X, text, & CNN link)

If you only watched Fox News over the weekend, you didn't hear about President Trump's widely condemned reaction to Robert Mueller’s death.

Fox has mentioned Mueller's death at least 6 times on TV without ever quoting Trump's "I'm glad he's dead" post...

Since then, Fox News has mentioned Mueller’s death at least six times on air without ever quoting Trump’s celebration or all the outrage the post provoked, according to TV transcript database searches.

One of the only extended conversations about Mueller was on Trey Gowdy’s Sunday evening show, in which he and Rep. Jim Jordan discussed “the political origins of the Russia collusion hoax.” Trump’s reaction did not come up.

Fox’s omission was a window into how the pro-Trump network selectively amplifies or sidesteps his rhetoric depending on the moment.

I said something close to this on the day that it happened. Sometimes it's what they don't report on that says it sll.
