New analysis from trans journalist and researcher Jessica Kant has found that Fox News publishes more articles about trans people than any other media outlet in the country. And that includes LGBTQ+ publications.
The findings bolster what Democrats have long argued, that it's actually Republicans who are obsessed with trans people and not the other way around. Kant also noted that right-leaning publications produce far more articles on trans people than the mainstream media.
"Our annihilation has become a central organizing principle of the Republican Party," Kant wrote in her analysis, which used her research to unpack how the right "manufactured the illusion of a dangerous all-powerful enemy out of a tiny demographic with no political influence, financial resources, nor social capital."
She called this effort "the outrage factory," for which the anti-trans movement has crafted a library of misleading, fearmongering, and outright false stories designed to give Americans a common enemy.
She found that, each year since 2023, Fox News produced more articles than there were days in the year, which comes out to multiple per day.
"While the post-mortem of the 2024 election endlessly cited the 'Kamala is for they/them' attack ad as the tipping point," she explained. "This elides the fact that even if this were said tipping point, it was only because not a single day passed from 2023 onward where Americans weren't bombarded with articles about trans people that were at best negatively-valenced, at worst outright libel and incitement."
