On the Fox Business show Varney & Co. MRC founder and president Brent appeared to discuss media coverage of the campaign, including the Trump assassination attempts and Kamala Harris’s aversion to interviews.

Varney began: “The Media Research Center broke down the coverage of Trump’s second assassination attempt. In the 72 hours following that incident, 95% of the coverage from ABC, CBS, and NBC was negative. Brent Bozell joins me now. Brent, I find that shocking. The man nearly lost his life, and they go at him.”

Bozell replied: “There was only one CBS report that featured only one Trump supporter that said something nice about Donald Trump.” ABC and NBC had nothing. Twenty of 21 Trump evaluations were negative.

Then Bozell shared a new poll from Scott Rasmussen, that “28% of Democrats believe that the world would have been better off if Trump had been killed. 24% aren’t sure. 51% don’t believe he should get any more security. 49% believe Trump himself was involved in the assassination or his campaign. 21% are very likely believers in that. But here’s the point: Words have consequences. The reason Democrats think this is twofold. The Democratic machine has been pushing this. The media have been pushing this narrative of hostility and hate for Donald Trump.”

He said the poll represented a bunch of people in the “news” media: “Don’t think there weren’t reporters who after Butler said, ‘Darn it, he missed!'” 

Varney moved on: “It’s been 60 days since Harris became the nominee. Since then she and Tim Walz have only taken part in seven interviews. Trump and J.D. Vance have done more than 70. The suspicion is she’s afraid. You don’t break out to higher polling numbers if you’re scared of facing voters directly and often. Do you agree with that?”

Bozell replied yes: “When she’s asked questions, she really doesn’t know the answers, and that’s why the word salads come out, because she’s just struggling to come up with something. But this is friendly media coverage. Even then, where are the media stories on her? They don’t need her to do an interview to do a story on her, and this is where I really fault the press. This is where the press are aiding and abetting in this basement strategy of hers by saying ‘go ahead and stay in the basement, we’re not even going to report that you’re in the basement.'”

He concluded that they should be investigating her alleged flip-flops to more moderate views and asking people on the left and the right if they believe she has truly shifted.
