In the immediate hours following news that Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi’s 82-year-old husband was assaulted by a hammer-wielding assailant in their San Francisco home, Fox News hosts and commentators quickly moved to spin the attack as anything but politically motivated.
Even after reporting on the suspect’s reported embrace of right-wing conspiracy theories about COVID and 2020 election denialism, the network’s anchors wondered how to “connect all of that” to Pelosi as there’s a “missing trail of dots here.”
While CNN and other media outlets reported some of the suspect’s unhinged social-media posts, Fox News’ “straight news” division cautiously suggested the violence way have been a random criminal act.
“Yeah, the only indication we have is ‘Where’s Nancy?’ That he was waiting for Nancy,” chief political anchor Bret Baier responded. “But we don’t know his point of view.”
Eventually, though, the Fox anchors and reporters began reporting on DePape’s social-media activity. However, they did so while whistling past the fact that the conspiracy theories he espoused often echoed much of the network’s opinion programming.
Fox News contributor and former California gubernatorial candidate Caitlyn Jenner, in her appearance Friday afternoon, rather openly exposed the main goal here: Blame the libs, no matter what.
“It’s imperative, also, that we don’t make this a partisan issue,” she told anchor Martha MacCallum. Thirty seconds later, however, she exclaimed: “Soft on crime liberals, politicians running to actually defund the police... We have to get these people out of office!”
