Fox News Suddenly Cares About How the Media Treats the First Lady's Attire

“You’d think the press would have more to worry about than what the first lady wears, but no,” Fox News host Tucker Carlson said on his show Tuesday night.

“I am not much of [a] huge feminist or anything . . . and yet here [the press] is judging a woman on her footwear. That sounds like the war on women to me,” he added.

A defense of Melania Trump might be fair. Attacking a woman for the way she dresses is usually not appropriate. But it was the network protecting the first lady that made the defense obsolete.

For years, Fox News ran stories about the way former First Lady Michelle Obama looked. On Fox News’ website, multiple stories — from “Sacrifice? Michelle Obama wears $1,000 skirt on ‘The View’” to “Michelle Obama wears $540 designer sneakers to feed the poor” — criticized Obama’s apparel.
