YouTube Description
as posted by the channelFox News now publishes more stories about trans people than any media outlet in the country — including queer outlets that actually serve LGBTQ+ audiences.
A new analysis found that in 2025, Fox ran nearly a thousand articles mentioning “transgender,” outpacing The New York Times, CNN, and even LGBTQ+ publications. And those stories weren’t neutral. They were overwhelmingly negative, framed as threats, scandals, or “culture war” emergencies.
In this video, I break down:
• The numbers: how many stories Fox ran vs. other outlets
• How Fox systematically frames trans people as a constant “danger” or “controversy”
• Why this is a deliberate political strategy, not organic news coverage
• How this drumbeat justifies real-world harm: bans on care, bathroom bills, book removals, and violence
• What this says about a right-wing media ecosystem that needs a permanent enemy to keep viewers afraid and voting GOP
This isn’t about Fox “covering an issue.”
It’s about a network turning a tiny, vulnerable minority into a 24/7 punching bag because fear and hatred are profitable — and politically useful.
