Well, Fox also mentions others when convenient and for distortions.
The fact of the matter is that social media has also understood that lewd, contrarian, chocking posts get more attention. Yes, if the staff on Fox & Friends is not professional and not even qualified journalists for the most part, then it is easy for them to set the agenda.
The issue is a population that is complacent with an alternate, fallacious, and negative reality.

In a brief set of prepared comments, Tucker Carlson (finally) addressed the revelation that his now-former top writer, Blake Neff, was secretly posting racist and sexist material on an online forum.

Friday afternoon he resigned from his job."Carlson said the comments Neff wrote under a pseudonym on the online forum were "wrong" and that he does not "endorse those words." Carlson continued, "It is wrong to attack people for qualities they cannot control. In this country, we judge people for what they do, not for how they were born.

Carlson added that Neff "fell short of that standard and he has paid a very high price for it."Tucker Carlson addresses ex-staffer's racist posts, says he will take 'long-planned' vacation
