Fox News are working tirelessly to amplify Donald Trump’s anti-trans rhetoric, Media Matters finds

Fox News was responsible for more than 25 per cent of cable news broadcasts covering Donald Trump’s anti-trans executive orders, research has revealed.

The right-wing news network spent more than four hours between 20 January and 19 February 2025 covering the president’s executive orders aimed at trans rights, including healthcare access and the ability to serve in the US military.

According to news-monitoring not-for-profit organisation MediaMatters, during Trump’s first month back in the White House, Fox News devoted almost double the coverage of MSNBC and CNN combined.

A majority of the broadcasts were in opinion segments, with just 97 minutes falling under news programmes.
