Fox Favorite Rep. Gowdy To Appear Once Again In Fox News Sunday Exclusive

Gowdy Has Appeared On Fox At Least 65 Times In The Last Two Years

Trey GowdyFox News has hosted Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-SC), the head of the House Select Committee on Benghazi, at least 65 times in the past two years and will reportedly provide him a platform again as one of the featured guests on Fox News Sunday.

In the wake of the manufactured scandal over a newly-released email sent by Deputy National Security Advisor Ben Rhodes preparing then-U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice for the Sunday news shows, House Speaker John Boehner announced that the House would “create a new select committee to investigate the September 11, 2012 terrorist attack in Benghazi, Libya that killed four Americans.” On May 5th, the House GOP selected Gowdy, an established Benghazi hoaxer, to lead the committee.

Fox Broadcasting announced that Gowdy would exclusively appear on the May 11 broadcast of Fox News Sunday to “discuss what the committee hopes to accomplish and who they plan to call to testify.” Gowdy will reportedly appear along with the head of the House Democratic Caucus, Rep. Xavier Becerra (D-CA).

Gowdy is one of Fox's favorite guests. A search of Nexis reveals that Gowdy has appeared on Fox's evening and primetime shows and Fox News Sunday 65 times in the past two years. That streak is likely to continue as the network has been one of the most vocal proponents of forming a select committee to investigate Benghazi, especially following the release of the Rhodes email.

Media Matters searched Nexis transcripts of Fox's evening and primetime news coverage and Fox News Sunday between May 8, 2012, and May 8, 2014, using the search term guest:(Gowdy).
