Fox will report on this with a D next to his name.
They won’t report on it. Or they won’t say his party, but will imply it.
Rep. Cole, D
I remember them doing this all the time back when they first went in the air. It’s part of what actually made me aware of politics. I was doing a school report on some local politician that got in legal trouble and they did a story covering the same politician which seemed exciting at the time. I was shocked that they listed the republican politician as a Democrat, thought for sure they would issue a correction for such an embarrassing and obvious mistake. A few days later as a text footnote at the end of one of their broadcasts they finally “corrected themselves”. But I was paying attention now and they did this all the time. If the scandalized politician was not known nationally they would accidentally report the wrong party to try and make the Dems look bad.
