Fox News featuring "concerned parents turned activists" are also long-time Republican operatives
In an effort to bolster its obsessive fear-mongering over the teaching of critical race theory in schools, Fox News has hosted nearly a dozen concerned parents or educators who are actually Republican strategists, right-wing media personalities, or conservative think-tank staffers.
According to a new review by liberal watchdog Media Matters, the networkwhich has mentioned critical race theory over 1,300 times since Marchhas downplayed or even outright ignored many of these guests GOP activist ties while featuring them as local citizens outraged over their schools curriculum.
One prominent Fox guest in the fight over critical race theory has been Ian Prior, who has repeatedly been introduced as merely a Loudoun County parent who has gone from concerned parent, like many of you, to legal activist. But hes no stranger to partisan politics.
Prior, who launched a political action committee this year opposing the teaching of critical race theory, is also an ex-spokesperson for the Department of Justice and has worked for several high-profile Republican groups. He also made dozens of appearances on Fox prior to this latest culture-war flashpoint.
