Fox News crime coverage.

A Gish Gallop as I understand it is to ask a series of different questions covering a broad area so the person can not possibly respond to so many different topics.
However the questions I asked in that post are essentially the same questions I asked in the OP.
Those questions are the point of this thread. If you have anything to contribute I would appreciate that.
Otherwise, have a good night.

They have gone for more cringe material by the leftest activist 'intellectuals' of the future.
Gluing hands to pavement, throwing gook on Picasso paintings, throwing powder on auto displays breathing in the dust cloud. That sort of thing.
Fox does have ratings and they do rather well.
Is that because those topics are more important and of more interest to their audience than crime?
Who knew asking a question about a confusing
post would make'm so....you know....that way that
they get, eh. If it were posted in <Liberal Only>,
they could keep the repartee pure & echoie.

I think its mixing the material. Crime is just so yesterday methinks.
Gotta mix in some other ingredients to prevent things from going stale through sheer redundancy.
Delightful. Thank you for your contribution.

I think that's how they view things. Ratings. Not subject.
Pretty much all media these days.

Perhaps it was broken beforehand.
The scaremongering came before the election, not after, so obviously not the drop in coverage.
If not that then why the abrupt shift in focus?
And the timing, is that just random? Can you think of anything that happened the beginning of November that might have had an effect on this particular subject change? Anything that happened around, lets say, the 8th of November? Anything? Or anything that was going on in the lead-up to this sudden "subject change"?
Did the crime rate drop? If not, can the crime segments reported on Fox be considered true and accurate - or are they fake news? Of course, it's a news outlet's responsibility to report on crimes that happen, so if they suddenly decided to stop reporting some crimes that they would have reported before, then that might be worth exploring.
How does this compare with other news outlets? Do they report on crime as well?

Nothing I can think of atm.
It almost seem like they are recapping past events. Filler type stuff.
I'm sure that will change shortly. Especially in light of upcoming investigations.
Allrightieo. Thanks for your contribution.

I think the point was that the increased crime reporting before the election was scare mongering. Once the election happened the crime reporting rates dropped precipitously.
See...it's not so hard to give an
answer that clarifies your views.
Unlike that nasty little pooch.
See post #35.
Oh, how shocking! They wouldn't, would they?

I'd guess it's an editorial decision, to cut back
to an earlier level, instead of inching ever higher
Because sources matter, here's the full article - Fox’s coverage of violent crime has dropped after the midterms
Also, I'd want to see more long term trends to draw any conclusions about anything here. Their window of analysis is disappointingly short and leaves much to be desired. I was hoping by digging this up I'd find a larger time window, but no dice.

I'd say it's the same reason there's a flood in Republican campaign adds ran around here just before the election that are all doom and gloom and telling us about how bad crime is and will get if Dems are voted out.
