Analysis: Fox News reportedly killed the Stormy Daniels story in 2016. It’s downplayed it since.
Stormy Daniels speaks outside the federal court in New York, April 16. By Philip Bump Philip Bump National correspondent focused largely on the numbers behind politics Email Bio Follow March 4 at 10:36 AM It’s an interesting thought experiment to imagine what would have happened if Fox News had access to some of the biggest stories about President Trump before other outlets.
When new revelations about the Daniels payment emerged in July, we looked at how coverage of her story had compared across the three major cable news networks. Here, for example, were mentions over two weeks on the networks’ prime-time shows. The characterization of the payment to Daniels as “hush money” led to that term being used regularly in the first half of 2018 by Fox’s competitors but not by Fox. It was used more regularly by the network once Cohen admitted to federal crimes in August and, most recently, when Cohen testified on Capitol Hill last week.
It covered his admission of lying to Congress as much as its competitors did last year — and last week, during his testimony, was just as likely to mention that crime. And, circling back to our original question, Fox News has also mentioned “Access Hollywood” less frequently than did its competitors.
