Fox News has all but totally ignored the Josh Duggar sexual molestation scandal, according to a new report.
Media Matters is out with a new report, and finds that Fox News has all but ignored the Josh Duggar sexual molestation scandal. Duggar, who in his former role as executive director of Family Research Council Action, was quite welcome on the conservative cable news channel, but when the “19 Kids and Counting” oldest son is the focus of news, Fox fails to inform their viewers.
Between May 21 and May 25 Fox News reported on the scandal for all of one minute and twenty seconds. By contrast, CNN reported on the story for one hour, four minutes, and MSNBC, for nearly 58 minutes.
“Representatives of FRC, an anti-gay hate group that routinely links homosexuality to pedophilia and describes LGBT people as a threat to children, are a regular fixture on Fox News,” Media Matters’ Carlos Maza adds. “Fox News’ media critic Howard Kurtz even criticized other media outlets for ‘piling on’ by highlighting the Duggar family’s ties to prominent Republican politicians.”
