How much does Fox News whine about Gavin Newsom? We did the math.
Fox News is having a hard time with California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s tweets mocking President Donald Trump, and new research shows the network has spent hours on-air whining about Newsom’s jabs.
According to data provided to Daily Kos by Media Matters for America, Fox News and Fox Business spent 2 hours and 33 minutes across 71 segments over roughly two weeks being triggered by the governor. Fox’s obsession began on Aug. 12 and continued at least through Aug. 22.
Newsom has been trolling the right while calling out Trump’s attempt to rig elections by gerrymandering House districts in favor of the Republican Party. And the California governor has been highlighting his state’s plan to redistrict in response.
The governor has taken on many of the right’s sacred cows with his posts, mocking Fox News hosts in almost real time as they whined about him. For instance, Link to tweet
