Fox was at the heart of Trump’s attempt to steal the 2020 election, and its propagandists altered the GOP’s trajectory by spending the last year trying to normalize the January 6 insurrection and defend its perpetrators. It would also prompt advertisers to recall that the network remains embroiled in lawsuits over its coverage of bogus election fraud claims after the 2020 election. While Fox has stocked its halls with familiar faces from Trump’s orbit, its coverage of the former president has plummeted throughout the last year. At the same time, Fox followed Trump in discarding traditional conservative talking points about federal debt, deficits, and entitlement spending. They’re not gutless — they’re afraid of Trump supporters.
