Margaret Hoover: Fox is not addicted to Donald Trump. If they could break that addiction, they would have an intervention with their viewers tomorrow. She says the fact that Fox viewers are so vehement and fervent in their loyalty to Fox is very important because that allows Fox News to say to the cable companies, you gotta have us in carriers. The danger here, from my perspective, is that those voters overlap significantly with the small donors and the primary voters.
Fox News and social media are two arenas that will define the next presidential race. Today, after Kara and Nayeema discuss the implications of the recent injunction by a federal judge banning Biden administration officials from communicating with social media platforms, we dive into Fox’s Rupert-Trump-Tucker love triangle. We’re joined by a panel including New York Times reporter Jeremy W. Peters, Guardian columnist Margaret Sullivan, and Dispatch Editor in Chief Jonah Goldberg.
