They see themselves as propagandists who are trying to spin what Trump is doing to the Fox clientele, to the Trump base who are tuning into Fox every day to get their news. They're trying to keep that base intact. Because they know that if that base cracks, they're in a huge amount of trouble. As it is, they've seen the polls steadily decline over the first three months of the administration.

I would expect that to continue. But if that core base, if the Fox News audience starts to decline, starts to leave Trump, it becomes a huge problem for the broader Republican Party. And that is what the Trump cabinet seems to be focused on.

Yeah, I mean, what we do at Media Matters is we watch all these people so that everyone else doesn't have to, right? We spend a great deal of time not only focused on Fox News, but in the deepest, darkest places. you know, parts of the internet, the streaming universe, and so on and so forth.

And what that means is we have a more granular understanding of where these attacks are coming from and where they're going. We can tell well before it becomes a national story that something like critical race theory is going to break through. What I think we need is more people to sort of pick up that ammunition and run with it.

Because we certainly, you know, it doesn't help to be right all the time if no one else is paying attention to the message and passing it along to the rest of the public. I think you're right that, you know, the mainstream press can be a little too feckless about this stuff. They are worried about the prospect of Donald Trump trying to destroy their businesses and their business models.

We need independent media to step up and let the public know what's going on when mainstream press can't do it.

You know, I always want more attention on the Medicaid cuts that the Republicans are brewing up. It's unclear exactly how they're going to try to take health care away from millions of people, but they're going to try to do it. They need to find money from somewhere so they can pass their big tax cuts for the richest Americans. And the well that they always come back to is people's health care.

It's an atrocity, and it doesn't get, I think, nearly enough coverage.
