Fox News host accuses media of ignoring Vice President Kamala Harris' "dangerous" record as the network surpasses its rivals in viewership.
Jesse Watters, the host of "Jesse Watters Primetime," has lambasted the mainstream media for downplaying Vice President Kamala Harris's "dangerous" history and policies. Watters asserts that the media's bias against Republicans has compromised their objectivity, leading to unfair coverage of Harris's record.
As Fox News continues to dominate the cable news landscape, Watters's comments have gained traction among conservative pundits. The network has enjoyed its most-watched July in history, with an average of 1.9 million total day viewers and 3.5 million during primetime.

Fox News's recent success contrasts sharply with the declining viewership of its rivals, MSNBC and CNN. "Jesse Watters Primetime" has emerged as the most-watched cable news program, averaging 4.4 million viewers during the historic month.
Watters's criticism of Harris aligns with the network's broader narrative that the Biden administration is facing a crisis of leadership. Fox News has consistently highlighted concerns about President Biden's mental fitness and the perceived missteps of his administration.

Watters alleges that the media has turned a blind eye to Harris's past as a prosecutor, accusing her of being overly harsh and lacking compassion. He also criticized her handling of the border crisis and her performance as vice president.
The media's treatment of Harris is part of a pattern, according to Watters. He argues that the same media outlets that were quick to attack former President Trump have been more lenient towards the Biden administration.

Watters's views are echoed by other Fox News commentators, who have repeatedly criticized the media for their alleged bias. The network has become a haven for conservative voices, offering a platform for those who feel underserved by other news outlets.
The media's response to Watters's accusations has been muted. Some journalists have defended their coverage of Harris, arguing that it has been fair and balanced. Others have acknowledged the changing media landscape, as more viewers turn to conservative outlets for news and commentary.

Despite the criticism, Fox News continues to dominate the ratings race. The network's success is a testament to its ability to cater to the growing conservative audience, who feel that their voices are not being heard in the mainstream media.
As the political landscape continues to evolve, it remains to be seen whether Fox News can maintain its dominance. The network's future will depend on its ability to attract new viewers while retaining its existing audience.
