Fox breaks away from partisan rancor during primary coverage.
On most nights, Fox News viewers will hear the 2020 Democratic candidates for president referred to as “Sleepy Joe,” “Crazy Bernie” and “Mini Mike,” the derisive nicknames given by President Trump to Joe Biden, Bernie Sanders and Mike Bloomberg.
Updates on the coronavirus were presented with none of the comments about Democrats politicizing the crisis that had become a hot talking point on the network in recent days. When Biden’s gaffes and mangled syntax came up for discussion, analyst Brit Hume pointed out that the Democrat will be on a level playing field with Trump if they meet in the general election.Fox News has long maintained that its journalists, pollsters and election analysts operate separately from the opinion side.
“They have come to expect the election team to give it to them straight, especially following the Democratic primary,” Baier said in an interview Wednesday. “Now do some viewers take it as chicken and broccoli and they would rather have some dessert? Yes, I think so. But we also expand our viewership exponentially. Our ratings on these big nights have been large, even though it doesn’t fit what people think Fox News is.
Off-camera, in a conference room one level below the studio, two dozen election analysts and statisticians were shoulder to shoulder at long tables, crunching data coming in from the 14 states holding Democratic primaries that showed Biden making an extraordinary comeback a week after his candidacy appeared to be on life support.t said the multistate primary is a dry run for the big night in November when he expand the size of his staff to handle the general election.
Fox News has been unable to land a Democratic primary debate, as the Democratic National Committee does not believe the network is fair to the party. But Biden’s strong night was preceded by his first appearance on “Fox News Sunday” since 2007., supports the idea of Democrats appearing on the network.
