Fox News Has Used This 'Convenient Distraction' To Depart From Epstein Coverage: Report
HuffPost
The analysis pointed to another example of the network "furiously working" to follow President Donald Trump's "dictate" on the late convicted sex offender.
Fox News has appeared to feature more talk of Sydney Sweeney’s controversial American Eagle ad in recent days than it has discussed the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, per a new report by Media Matters for America.
The conservative network mentioned Sweeney — whose “great jeans” ad has generated backlash amid accusations that it glorified whiteness and nods to eugenics — on 62 occasions with a total of 85 minutes of coverage from Monday to midday Thursday, according to the nonprofit media watchdog.
Epstein received 14 mentions and was “often brought up in passing or short headline reports,” adding up to a total of under three minutes of coverage, per the report.
The analysis also found that CNN, Newsmax and MSNBC mentioned Epstein overwhelmingly more than Sweeney in the same timespan, with the latter outlet not referring to the “Euphoria” actor whatsoever.
The fixation on Sweeney marked a departure from covering the fallout of the Trump administration’s handling of the Epstein files in the same week that the president didn’t rule out pardoning the late sex offender’s accomplice, Ghislaine Maxwell.
