When it comes to a congresswoman cursing versus a congressman embracing white supremacy, cable news apparently believes the cursing deserves more coverage – five times more coverage, to be exact.
The discrepancy was the most glaring on Fox News, which devoted 52 minutes of coverage to Democratic Rep. Rashida Tlaib’s cursing and just 42 seconds to Republican Rep. Steve King’s comments about white supremacy. That’s over 74 times more coverage of Tlaib.
