Proof?
Between April 2 and April 4, 2025, all major stock indices dropped more than 5% (Dow) and 20% (Nasdaq). The S&P 500 was down about 15% from its previous high; the full extent of the sell-off is yet to be revealed.
Fox News, however, does not consider this important.
As of 3:00pm EDT on April 4, 2025, the first story regarding the stock market is #12 on their page - "below the fold"* - right between the daily summary and George Clooney's wife.
No, not kidding:
The first article to mention tariffs is #19, and the words "stock" and "stock market" do not appear at all.
Thank God we have Fox. Otherwise, you might think something was amiss.
* below the fold = below the first major advertising banner. Not the same physically, but similar in presentation and intent.
** Yes, Fox uses a rolling format where older stories are pushed lower. That's an interesting design choice, to say the least.
