A thread 🧵about how Fox News covered the Signal chat security scandal. Day 1 - The Five. During a discussion about how Democrats were horrible Jessica Tarlov managed to talk about it. Producers dedicated 0% of the episode to the story. 1/11

2/11 - Day One - Monday Special Report with Bret Baier (John Roberts hosts) The program treated it like a minor story. It was embarrassing. How did this happen? Oops of the highest magnitude. Brit Hume was not impressed. Producers dedicated 8% of airtime for the story.

3/11 Day One - Monday The Ingraham Angle - Pete Hegseth speaks "It's a hoax! No classified information was released. No war plans" Ingraham downplays the scandal. Sen. Josh Hawley - Leftists griping. Producers dedicated 14% of airtime for the story.

4/11 Day One - Monday Jesse Watters Primetime. Watters barely mentioned it. He reduced the story to roughly one minute. A caller sent a text message about it. It took up 2.5% of airtime.

5/11 Day One - Hannity - the senior Fox News host only dedicated 45 seconds to the scandal. Hannity pivoted to trashing Joe Biden. Bingo cards. It took up less than 2% of total airtime.

6/11 Day Two Fox & Friends - Steve Doocy - classified information was leaked. The Democrats have a tangible hammer to hit Trump. Kayleigh McEnany - this was an obvious mistake obviously. Lawrence Jones - everyone uses Signal. The story took up 15% of airtime.

7/11 Day Two - The Five - This time producers opened with the story dedicating 32% of airtime to the scandal. Democrats sleep with spies, crackhead sons, no one died. War Emojis! Maybe someone should be fired. Gutfeld doesn't know what a SCIF is.

8/11 Day Two - Special Report with Bret Baier (John Roberts host) Now the story dominates the episode taking up 32% of airtime. Roberts seems to doubt the admin. Tulsi Gabbard seems to perjure herself. How did this happen? If Goldberg is so incompetent how did this happen?

9/11 Day Two - The Ingraham Angle - Ingraham interviews Mike Walz the man who added Goldberg to the Signal chat. Conspiracy? End of Ukraine War? How is his number on your phone? Jimmy Failla makes a bad joke about Elizabeth Warren. The story took up 59% of airtime.

10/11 Day Two - Jesse Watters Primetime - Now the story is a big deal. No one died! Conspiracy theories! No Watergate. No classified material. Goldberg is a she. Journalists give out fake names? Hillary! Identity theft. EMOJIS! The story took up 39% of airtime.

11/11 Day Two - Hannity - The senior Fox News host twisted the scandal to complain about Biden. Biden was a vegetable. Humpty Dumpty? The media mob is worked up! NO classified information was released. Charlie Kirk - they were loyal to Trump there's no scandal. Luigi Mangione?
