Fox News is so obsessed with Ocasio-Cortez they said her name three times as much as CNN or MSNBC


Published 1 min ago on July 21, 2019 By Sarah K. Burris

It’s clear that Fox News and other right-wing reporters are trying to create boogymen in Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. A new analysis by CNN media reporter Brian Stelter, revealed that the conservative network has said Ocasio-Cortez’s name more than CNN and MSNBC combined.

“First, Ocasio-Cortez and her “Squad” mate Ilhan Omar have been talked about a lot more on Fox than on other cable news channels this year,” Stelter wrote. “Second, the freshmen have been getting more attention on cable than seasoned leaders of the Democratic Party.”

Republicans were running into trouble by constantly attacking House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. Both Pelosi and former Secretary Hillary Clinton have been the right-wing’s familiar place to turn for a convenient villain. As 2018 proved, it didn’t work out for the GOP. At the same time, Republicans have hammered home that Democrats are the party of Socialism since the days of the New Deal.

Stelter explained that the four Congresswomen have owned the news cycle that Trump attacked, but even before that, the women also dominated the news on Fox.

they'll shift it over to our nominee once the choice is made. Even Trump likes to run against AOC and the squad, it shores up the base, and comforts them even though there is no Census citizenship question or shooting war with Iran.

I was thinking, damn, how many times is he going to say AOC. Is that like a new curse word or something? It was like a noun, a verb AOC. Kasey had to interject at one point to remind him that Bernie Sanders was actually the original Democratic Socialist and has no problem identifying himself as such! -

He is the one actually running for president- Its interesting that they are not attacking Bernie isn't it?

The misogyny is so obvious with the Republicans. They focus their attacks on women. If it is a minority woman, Whoppeee! 2 for 1. The Pelosi attacks weren't going anywhere. They tried it with Rep Maxine Waters with the Low IQ Maxine foolishness - You saw John Kelly lie about Congresswoman Wilson and calling her an empty barrel. A bunch of disgusting woman hating pigs.
