Fox News shields audience from Trump’s scandalous bestie Laura Loomer

Fox News appears to be doing its best to keep viewers ignorant of the growing controversy involving Donald Trump and his latest association with racist conspiracy theorist Laura Loomer.

According to TV Eyes, a database of television news captions, Fox News has not mentioned Loomer a single time in the past week. The only mention of Loomer across the Fox platform includes a single fleeting mention of the conservative pundit by Fox News contributor and former George W. Bush aide Karl Rove during an appearance on Fox Business. Loomer was among those who helped Trump prepare for Tuesday night’s presidential debate.

“Matt Gaetz, Tulsi Gabbard, Laura Loomer—why didn't somebody in that room say, 'Mr President, they're gonna be fact-checking,” Rove said during a discussion of Trump’s poor showing against Vice President Kamala Harris.

In fact, the only recent mentions in the database of the name “Laura” on Fox News were references to Fox host Laura Ingraham.

The apparent blackout extends to Fox News’ website, where there are no articles mentioning Loomer within the past year.

The story has been everywhere else. Loomer flew with Trump to attend the Sept. 11 memorial ceremony in New York City, even though she has promoted 9/11 conspiracy theories. Loomer is a racist who describes herself as “pro-white nationalism.”
