Fox & Friends' Stormy Daniels coverage this morning was limited to a 50-second newsbrief that aired during each hour. 1/ mediamatters.org/blog/2018/03/2… 
The program’s three co-hosts did not discuss Daniels around the show’s curvy couch. No network correspondent detailed the fallout from the WH lawn, nor were political analysts convened to predict what might happen next. 2/
Hogan Gidley, the WH deputy press secretary, went on F&F and got no questions about Daniels' allegations. Certainly the only show where that was possible. 3/
Daniels received less coverage from Fox & Friends than did Hillary Clinton. 4/
This is not an anomaly -- since WSJ reported Trump lawyer Cohen had arranged the Daniels payoff in January, F&F had provided 50 seconds TOTAL on the story. 5/
That's one 20 second newsbrief and a 30-second exchange between Steve Doocy and a former Trump lawyer. 6/
Notably, in that exchange -- the only time a F&F co-host has referenced the story this entire time -- Doocy did not mention the alleged affair, Daniels' profession, or the payout. Question was solely about whether the NDA was voided by Trump not signing it. 7/
Seriously, what are viewers supposed to take away from this? 8/
I realize that "Fox would never treat a Dem like this" is a cliche. But try to imagine how F&F would react to a porn star alleging that she had an affair with Barack Obama and then was paid off by his personal lawyer. 9/
For instance, here's the freakout the show did after the hosts found a photo that they thought showed Obama was checking out a minor (video revealed otherwise). mediamatters.org/research/2009/… 10/10
