The study did not only consider uses of “hate” by Fox News hosts, citing remarks by House minority leader Kevin McCarthy to Hannity on 13 February: “Democrats … don’t just hate the president, they hate you, they hate me, they hate the viewers. In one famous example this summer, Carlson called Tammy Duckworth, a Democratic senator from Illinois who lost her legs when her helicopter was shot down in Iraq, “a deeply silly and unimpressive person” and “a coward” who “hates the country”. Anchors also identify their audience – ‘you’, ‘Christians’ and ‘us’ – as the target of animosity … these language patterns construct a coherent but potentially dangerous narrative about the world.” “As for the object of all this hatred, Sean Hannity, Tucker Carlson and other Fox hosts most often name Trump. The study found that when Fox News says “they hate”, it most often means “Democrats, liberals, political elites and the media”. Beginning in January 2017, the mean usage of ‘they hate’ on the network doubled.” But Fox’s use of ‘hate’ really took off when Trump’s presidency began.
“We found Fox’s usage of ‘they hate’ has increased over time,” they wrote, “with a clear spike around the polarising 2016 Trump-Clinton election. The experiments showed that domain-specific word embedding with the Bidirec-tional LSTM based deep model achieved a 93 f1-score while BERT achieved up to 96. To put their findings in historic context, Entman and Knüpfer said, they searched for usage of the word “hate” in a database going back to 2009, adding CNN for context. This is the second time tonight I’ve seen Fox News attempt to prep the President for the debates /jUXMuccepV- Acyn Torabi September 29, 2020 Trump faced a famous grilling from Wallace this summer but he is notoriously fond of Fox News’ opinion hosts, reacting to their shows and open to their advice. MSNBC used it just five times.”Ī Fox News anchor Chris Wallace will moderate Tuesday’s presidential debate between Donald Trump and Joe Biden at in Cleveland. Fox used this phrase 101 times between January and May. The most notable was ‘they’ – as in, ‘they hate’. For example, its a hate crime if someone assaulted you and used homophobic language or threw a brick through your window and wrote racist graffiti on your. “Fox usually pairs certain words alongside ‘hate’. ‘Hate’ really stood out: it appeared 647 times on Fox, compared to 118 on MSNBC. Instead, we found that Fox used antipathy words five times more often than MSNBC. “We expected to find that both of the strongly ideological networks made use of such words,” they wrote for the Conversation, “perhaps in different ways. Robert Mathew Entman, professor of media and public affairs at George Washington University, and Curd Knüpfer, assistant professor of political science at Freie Universität Berlin, studied more than 1,000 transcripts from “the two ideologically branded channels – rightwing Fox and leftwing MSNBC” in primetime, 6pm to 10.59pm, from 1 January to 8 May this year.
