Fox News no longer cares about energy sector job losses

Jobs – whether loss or creation – have been a central rallying cry from Fox News for more than a decade when it comes to the Keystone XL pipeline, the so-called “war on coal,” or a candidate’s electability in the fracked-gas-producing state of Pennsylvania. 

Now, with more than 800,000 jobs threatened by the repeal of the clean energy tax credits in Trump’s “One Big Beautiful Bill Act” — many of them in red states — Fox seemingly is no longer concerned.   

A Media Matters analysis found that Fox discussed the repeal of the Inflation Reduction Act clean energy tax credits in 18 segments about the “One Big Beautiful Bill” between May 22, when the House version passed, and June 23. None of these segments discussed the massive job losses expected from repealing the tax credits.
