In the first month of President Trump's return to office, Fox News provided the vast majority of coverage on his anti-transgender executive orders compared to other networks. The report highlighted over four hours of coverage by Fox News, underscoring a significant gap as all three networks combined only totaled nine hours. Experts indicated that the minimal liberal media coverage has enabled harmful narratives to flourish, emphasizing the importance of mainstream media in shaping public understanding of transgender rights and the repercussions of these policies.
In his first 31 days back in office, Trump signed a slew of anti-trans executive orders undermining the rights and protections of transgender, intersex, and nonbinary people.
The shocking lack of coverage by more liberal media has allowed Fox News to push increasingly harmful narratives about transgender people, said LGBTQ legislative researcher Allison Chapman.
These discriminatory policies from the Trump administration affect the lives and livelihoods of people across the United States, emphasized Media Matters LGBTQ Program Director Ari Drennen.
Fox News alone accounted for nearly half of this coverage, broadcasting four hours and eight minutes - almost the combined total of coverage by CNN and MSNBC.
