FBI Director Christopher Wray says white supremacists are a major factor in domestic terrorism, but never mind that. Fox News viewers don’t think it’s a problem.
A recent Civiqs survey found that 46% of voters think that “white nationalism is a very serious threat.” But among frequent Fox News viewers, just 5% said white nationalism is a very serious threat—less even than the 10% of Republicans who agreed with the statement. Among occasional Fox News viewers, the number was 33%, and among people who don’t watch Fox News, 72% think white nationalism is a very serious threat.
Perhaps as staggering, fully half of frequent Fox News viewers think that white nationalism is not a threat at all. And they think this despite the Donald Trump-chosen FBI director saying that white supremacist terrorism is a real thing and despite the white supremacist mass shooting just a week before they were surveyed.
