An average of 9.5 times per hour, or roughly once every 6 minutes. <\/p>\n<p>Some shows have gone deeper than others. <em><strong>Jesse Watters<\/strong> Primetime<\/em> mentioned Fauci 36 times on Monday night. <strong>Laura Ingraham<\/strong> invited HHS Secretary <strong>Robert F. Kennedy Jr.<\/strong> on for a discussion which touched on Fauci \u2014 as Monday\u2019s <em>Ingraham Angle<\/em> made 31 mentions of the former NIAID chief. And with just a handful of exceptions, just about every show has featured extensive Fauci coverage ahead of the doctor\u2019s testimony on Capitol Hill Wednesday. <\/p>\n<p>It is a very, very different story over on CNN and MS NOW. CNN has mentioned Fauci 10 times on its air over the past 36 hours, per Mediate\u2019s analysis. Six of those mentions took place during a single segment on CNN News Central in the 1 p.m. ET hour Tuesday. The rest came from CNN Newsnight, when conservative-leaning <em>New York Post<\/em> reporter <strong>Lydia Moynihan<\/strong> injected his name into a panel discussion on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2026\/07\/25\/us\/pentagon-iran-war-troops-death-toll.html\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Pentagon reportedly recategorizing four troop deaths<\/a> so they don\u2019t count in the Iran conflict death toll.  <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are not going to pivot to Anthony Fauci\u2019s diaries,\u201d host <strong>Abby Phillip<\/strong> told Moynihan. <\/p>\n<p>And as for MS NOW? Just one mention \u2014 a very brief one during Monday\u2019s edition of <em>The Weeknight<\/em>. Republican strategist <strong>Matthew Barrett<\/strong> criticized Trump and the party for stuck in the past.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cElections are always about the future,\u201d Barrett said. \u201cWe\u2019re talking about, \u2018Sleepy Joe\u2019 \u2026 Fauci on Wednesday\u2026 Right now, we have nothing [to tell voters.]\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Left-leaning critics would undoubtedly argue Fox is leaning into the Fauci story \u2014 six years after the Covid-19 outbreak \u2014 because more timely topics like the Iran war and the economy are not subjects Fox\u2019s audience wants to focus on. Right-leaning critics would argue that MS NOW and CNN are trying to bury a story that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mediaite.com\/analysis\/5-underreported-media-stories-from-the-fauci-diaries\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">isn\u2019t very flattering for them<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p>The real question now is: What will happen next?
