Rob Porter scandal: Everywhere but Fox News

The Trump administration is reeling over domestic violence allegations against a top White House aide, Rob Porter. But you might not know it if you watch Fox News, where the disturbing story has been largely, and conspicuously, absent.

While virtually all other news outlets have provided extensive coverage of Porter, the White House staff secretary who resigned Wednesday after allegations that he physically abused two ex-wives were made public, Fox has all but ignored the subject.

The matter was only discussed a handful of times on-air Wednesday by Fox News reporters and anchors, according to transcript searches.

Porter's name was not mentioned during Fox News' prime-time lineup, which is stacked with pro-Trump commentators like Tucker Carlson, Sean Hannity and Laura Ingraham.

And Porter wasn't brought up once by Thursday during "Fox & Friends," President Trump's favorite morning show. Top White House adviser Kellyanne Conway appeared on the show as a guest, but the hosts of the show didn't ask her a single question about Porter.

4. 40% of the country wont know about this

Approx 40% of the country ONLY watches and listens to conservative news outlets.
This is what we face.
They are sold a different reality.
It’s all the know and/or want to know.
