What do you do when your Trump-endorsed nominee in a crucial Senate race is an unpopular, psuedoscience-peddling, carbetbagging creep who owns himself online damn near every day? You enlist your propaganda arm to ruthlessly attack his opponent, of course.
That’s what seems to be going on at Fox News, where the primetime hosts have mentioned Pennsylvania Lieutenant Gov. John Fetterman a stunning 120 times since Labor Day—more than six other competitive Democratic Senate nominees combined. (The candidates in Arizona, Georgia, Nevada, North Carolina, Ohio, and Wisconsin got a total of 96 mentions.)
Media Matters analyzed the shows Tucker Carlson Tonight, Hannity, and The Ingraham Angle (God help them) to uncover this Fetterman Fixation, as well as the fact that the hosts referenced Republican nominee Mehmet Oz 48 times, more than twice as often as the other GOP candidates.
