Biden Allegations Getting Little Television News Attention Outside Fox

Since becoming a household name in 2017, the phrase "MeToo" has largely faded from television news coverage.

Over the past week as allegations against Biden were raised, only Fox News has mentioned his accuser by name, with 17 total mentions to MSNBC's 1 and CNN's 0.

Total mentions of "Biden" within 15 seconds of "sexual OR allegations OR allegation OR tara" have totaled just 66 mentions on Fox, 10 on MSNBC and 0 on CNN.

This is in marked contrast to mentions of "Blasey Ford" which totaled moer than 4,835 across the three stations, with Fox mentioning her name half as often as its two peers.
