Fox Hosts' Texts To White House Official Contradict Coverage Of Jan. 6 Capitol Siege
10 min•17 december 2021
On Jan. 6, three Fox News hosts desperately urged former Trump White House chief of staff Mark Meadows to get the president to tell supporters to stop attacking the Capitol building.
The texts, which were made public this week as the House of Representatives voted to hold Meadows in contempt, reveal a starkly different message than the one those same Fox hosts delivered to their audiences about the insurrection.
NPR media correspondent David Folkenflik and investigative correspondent Tom Dreisbach discuss the gap between Fox's messaging behind closed doors and in front of the camera.
In participating regions, you'll also hear a local news segment that will help you make sense of what's going on in your community.
