Analysis: A third of Trump’s words in sit-down interviews were said to Fox News or Fox Business

By Philip Bump and Philip Bump National correspondent focused largely on the numbers behind politics Email Bio Follow JM Rieger JM Rieger Video editor for The Fix Email Bio Follow May 3 at 1:07 PM Since taking office, President Trump has sat down for more than 170 interviews with reporters from television, print and radio networks. Sometimes he talks to reporters over the phone, but usually it’s Trump and the reporter, one-on-one.

You’ll notice, for example, that Fox News and Fox Business Network are the television networks most likely to grant Trump an interview over the phone. He often gives interviews in clusters, including a number of times when he has given multiple interviews in a day. Trump has given more interviews to Fox News than to any other individual outlet, by far. Aggregating all of his interviews with local stations comes close, but he has still spoken with Fox News more often. That includes more than half of the interviews he has conducted this year.

Only ones who stomach his brain busting lies and cupidit. realdonaldtrump kellyannepolls whitehouse

MAGA✌️🇺🇸✌️ Trump2020

Because they treat him fairly. Unlike you Post‼️ If you ever want to be taken seriously again, you need to start reporting the News objectively! 🙄

Because all the other Liberal Media outlet's bashed him before he was president. Wtf you want him to do You all are against him and America is doing Amazing!!! Get ready kids. Trump2020 America1stAlways KAG Winning 🇺🇸 We don't lose. Investigations coming for the Dems.😂😂

Figures

...bcos Wapo has zero credibility, a spinner of fake news?

They are the only station out there not reporting fake news.

Sounds like he doesn't care for FAKE NEWS outlets !

We all know what Trump likes. Has anybody tried wiring up a hooker in a bar...ohh yeah. Melania. A bar and a sexy wired up hamberder?...

and the other two-thirds are said to putin

Cognitive decline

Can you blame him? FoxNews are the only ones that try to be fair to his administration. FakeNewsMadia does nothing but attack & lie.

That’s where the viewers are! Have you seen the ratings?

You want people to see it, that’s why.

The only people that report accurately.

Why would he sit down with media representatives that have without any doubt been spewing propaganda ? 2 years and even longer

He should spend more time with leftist publications & news outlets.

All of the LIES about POTUS were said by bought off mockingbirds.

How surprising that Trump primarily appears on Trump TV/Fake Fox.

That’s surprising. I would peg it to be a lot higher.

And...? You want to interview the guy, get in line. But if you're just going to let writers put words in his mouth through creative writing and innuendo, why should he give you the time of day?

And you are surprised? How?

Totally makes sense. He lies constantly, but Fox News doesn't care, doesn't challenge, and will just repeat the lies on his behalf. Other news organizations don't make it as easy for Trump to carry on that way...although I wish they were much tougher than they are challenging him

that's because the mainstream media (of which YOU are included) have lied to the public for a long time. He knows it and we know it

So?

Why would he bother sitting down with FakeNewsMedia hacks like you who don't report anything but innuendo, lies and of course....fake news? EnemyofthePeople

What do you expect? You have run a false narrative for over 2 years in a failed attempt to take Trump down. You are FakeNews

So

If you folks were adults and not children, you might have more interviews. Who wants to sit with with whiny children?

Trump supporters ...PAY ATTENTION! YOU ARE BEING LIED TO EVERY DAY

It pays to be unbiased. You get access.

Wonder why?

Only a third

Good for him, everybody else is fake news

Go figure! Why should he deal with the FakeMedia

Of course - that's state run TV right there.......the propaganda network

Makes sense. Fox dominates the news ratings. Why would he interview with sinking organizations like CNN or MSNBC? They have no audience anymore.

Other networks are more into paraphrasing and condemning. WaPo should know this as it is a major part of its own coverage.

softballs

Have you read Your own paper Why would he submit to your Abuse

No one has COPYRIGHTS to words....people with the same sentiments say similar things....conformity. If you ask the 56% Americans.... who APPROVE of how Trump is handling the economy....you will find that they will all say similar words of CONTENT....due to a COMMON SENTIMENT!

talk about an echo chamber

Oh, and you think he should spend more time with outlets which have never gotten over 'Dear Leader' Hillary losing? ROTFL.

Well why would u sit down with hate angry fake news reports. They all just report what they feel like it mostly Hate and anger

Well, sure. They’ll agree to ask the questions he wants. He owns them.

That would mean that over half the population would have never seen the interviews. Lol

C I R C U S !

Do you have any news worthy events to write or tweet? Can you do a deep dive on how FBI was trying to spy on Trump campaign using clandestine agents or on FISA controversy?

They can have all the words...

Well, they do have all the ratings.

Fox likes fake news

FOX ACCEPTS TRUMP'S BLATANT LIES WITHOUT QUESTION .....HE LOVES THEM.

95 % of what you printed about Trump was negative so what’s your point

Translation: We lie about him, collude with the Deep State against POTUS, good reasons for him not to Trust us....

So in other words, trump gives more sit downs with other outlets. Or, “2/3 of trumps ‘words’ are not said to Fox News

Fox President

So what?

Is this news, or is it more crying from the liberal media?

Of course, because fauxnews is the propaganda network of the administration.

Who cares.

So many words, so little substance.

State media. This is not how this is supposed to work.

Who cares? If you were not such a POS fake news corporation run by Bezos (trying to take him down), maybe he would objectively offer you interviews b/c he wouldn't feel like he was constantly under attack. Don't you have something better to report on? Like REAL news?

And what percentage of coverage of Trump is negative in MSM? Nearly three times that percentage?

And two-thirds of those were unintelligible.

Because why acknowledge enemies of the United States like ?

Analysis | Fox Business’s interview with Trump was so friendly that he wouldn’t stop talkingMaria Bartiromo's fifth interview with Trump was remarkably friendly, even by Fox standards. They must’ve liked the crease in his pants. Or something. Next step: create a holographic Lou Dobbs on infinite interview loop in a holo-suite in the basement of the White House, stock it with as much Diet Coke as any eight people could drink.
