On Monday, as the stock market experienced its most significant decline of the year, several right-leaning news outlets, including The New York Post and Fox Business Network, did not prioritize coverage of the situation. Instead, they opted to focus on less critical stories, showcasing a tendency to downplay negative economic news, particularly amid President Trump’s controversial tariff policies. Former Trump adviser Larry Kudlow expressed optimism about the market, urging caution yet framing the economic outlook positively. Trump himself has shifted away from emphasizing stock performance, pushing for a focus on long-term economic strategy over short-term gains.
Nervous investors seeking news about the plunging markets on Monday afternoon would have been out of luck if they turned to the websites of The New York Post, The Daily Caller, One America News or The Blaze.
As President Trump's unpredictable and halting tariff policies rattled investors this week, many of his most loyal supporters in the media and on Capitol Hill chose to barely mention the news or to frame it as a potentially good thing.
