In Nadler’s hometown of New York City, murder and shooting incidents are down relative to last year, though violent crime in general is up. As I noted when those BJS numbers were released, discussion of crime in the United States is hampered by broadly inconsistent and uneven reporting of crime data. In 2018 and 2019, Fox News mentioned crime about as often in its broadcasts as its primary competitors, CNN and MSNBC. Last year, and so far this year, Fox News has mentioned crime twice as often as its competitors on average. Fox has mentioned inflation more often than crime, but its competitors have also mentioned inflation at an increasing rate since the beginning of the year.
