With the exceptions of South Carolina Senator Tim Scott, heels-wearing Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, and, of course, disgraced former President Trump, fake Democrat 2024 primary challenger Robert F Kennedy Jr has received more mentions on Fox News coverage than any of the Republican 2024 primary contenders such as former South Carolina Governor Nimrata “Nikki” Haley and fascist millennial businessman Vivek Ramaswamy, Media Matters reports on their quantification of the hype circlejerk surrounding the deranged antisemite by the propaganda network.
Between April 19 and July 20, 2023, Bobby Jr’s name was mentioned 779 times. It’s a small fraction of Trump’s 4,702 and DeSantis’s 2,484 mentions, but well within spitting distance of Scott’s 941.
“People in Trump’s orbit have touted Kennedy’s potential to function as a ‘chaos agent’ in the Democratic primary, softening up Biden and making it easier for the former president to defeat him in the general election. Fox, a Republican propaganda network that is re-cementing its role as a pro-Trump channel, is playing a key role in trying to stoke that anarchy,” Media Matters writes in a typically sharp and succinct summary of the incredibly fucking stupid situation.
