How are mortgages being covered on television news? The timeline below shows total mentions across CNN, MSNBC and Fox News over the past decade, showing a quiet period from 2013 to 2019 after the 2008 recession, with mentions soaring again from early 2019 on Fox News and late 2019 on CNN and MSNBC. Noteably, this increase predates the pandemic, suggesting the financial turbulence of lockdowns and economic restructuring did not lead to an increase in discussion of mortgages.
