Conservative news site The Daily Caller gleefully reported that MSNBC and CNN said the word “Impeachment over 200 times in just one day” — but omitted the tally of Fox News’ usage of the word.

• The Daily Caller cited Media Research Center, a right leaning website, who claimed MSNBC and CNN used the word “impeachment” over 200 times Wednesday, Aug. 22, 2018.

• However, the MRC omitted a count of how many times the word “impeachment” was used on Fox News.
• Director of Media Intelligence for Media Matters for America Lis Power replied to The Daily Caller’s tweet and counted.
• According to MRC, CNN used the word 108 times Wednesday and MSNBC came in with 114 mentions.
• Power, meanwhile, counted Fox News’ usage of the word — and it came it 113.
• While this number has not been independently verified, even if it’s a few off either way, it still illustrates that Fox News is using the word about the same number of times as its competitors.
• Power, meanwhile, ended her tweet with “Soooooo…. your point?”

Whoops — In their haste it looks like the always rigorous MRC forgot to see what was happening on Fox!

I thought I'd help them out.
According to MRC:
CNN – 108 mentions
MSNBC – 114 mentions

By my count:
Fox – 113 mentions

Soooooo…. your point? https://t.co/XdieCcuIPa
