Is This a Fox & Friends Segment, or a Campaign Ad For ‘Women For Trump’? We Report, You Decide

As cable television programs go, it’s difficult to find one that is more friendly to the White House than Fox & Friends, but a Monday segment on a “Woman for Trump” conference in Washington D.C. went way over the line for a morning show, to the point of being blatant propaganda and indistinguishable from an overproduced campaign ad.

The segment, hosted by former reality television star, wife of Representative Sean Duffy and occasional Fox & Friends guest host Rachel Campos Duffy was so over-the-top in its adulation and promotion of President Donald Trump that it could have fit right in on SNL as self-parody.

This video has it all: a bedazzled MAGA clutch purse, a cheesy music bed, and the softest of softball interviews with guest speaker Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders. Campos Duffy’s promotional demeanor throughout the segment only made the package seem more unwittingly satirical.

The event itself was designed as a demonstration of women who are in full support of the Trump Administration and is led by Ann Kremer, who describes herself as one of the founding mothers of the modern day Tea Party. The package itself was produced to convey a sense of female voter support for the White House following the controversial Brett Kavanaugh confirmation process, as the midterm elections are just a month away.

It is no surprise that consistently pro-Trump opinion programs on Fox News would present this sort of story in the most favorable light to this administration. But the phrase “State Run TV” which was once used to mock how much Fox News was in bed with the White House seems no longer hyperbolic. It’s almost too much on the nose.
