Colby Hall: “It’s been 30 days since Hamas launched a horrific attack on Israel, sparking a war and further destabilizing a historically dangerous area of conflict. At Fox News, one reporter has stood out thanks to his coverage: Trey Yingst, the network’s foreign correspondent. The war has captured global attention, and major networks and news outlets have dispatched some of their best journalists to cover it. There are a raft of incredible wartime journalists in the area doing world-class and life-risking reporting. But Yingst has stood out as the new face who just might be out-hustling them all.”
The network’s unflinching support for Israel in its fight against Hamas has put the conservative network in the good graces of many Jews who see other coverage of Israel as biased.

Trey Yingst’s home has become his office. Yingst, a foreign correspondent who calls Israel his home when he isn’t traveling the globe for Fox News Channel, was in his apartment a little over a week ago when he got word of horrible things happening near the country’s border with Gaza. Many people would likely move away from that area but it’s Yingst’s job to move toward such hot spots. For a large number of U.S. viewers, Yingst, 30 years old, is one of the primary storytellers of the current conflict between Israel and the Hamas terrorist organization, and is likely to be so for the next several weeks, if not more.

The Wednesday night debate was the second in a row that the front-runner, former President Donald Trump, skipped to have the spotlight follow him instead of his distant rivals.

The decision by former President Donald Trump to skip Wednesday’s first debate of the 2024 presidential primary season likely deprives Fox of a huge late-summer audience. Even worse for the network, Trump has talked of appearing in an online interview with former Fox star Tucker Carlson at the same time.
The former president’s apparent decision to skip the first debate is a major affront both to the Republican National Committee and to Fox News, which is hosting the event.
As the news cycle focus continued to be on Donald Trump’s latest indictment, MSNBC notched another win in primetime. The network averaged 1.99 million viewers on Tuesday evening, with All in with Chris Hayes and The Last Word with Lawrence O’Donnell winning their time periods. Fox News averaged 1.92 million and CNN posted 779,000.
