CNN: Jeb Bush “Ramping Up His Presence” On Fox News

CNN reports that as part of an attempt to “resuscitate his floundering White House Bid,” former Florida Governor Jeb Bush “is ramping up his presence” on Fox News:

A review of the channel's video archives shows that Bush has made six appearances on Fox News since the beginning of the month, including interviews with the outlet's two top-rated hosts, Bill O'Reilly and Megyn Kelly.

According to the liberal watchdog Media Matters for America, Bush appeared on Fox six times in September, capping off the month with a pair of 12-minute interviews on “Special Report” and “Fox News Sunday.”

That's a sharp increase from May to August, when Media Matters found that Bush made a mere nine appearances on Fox -- fewer than any other Republican presidential candidate with the exception of Jim Gilmore.

A Bush spokesperson told CNN that the increase in Fox appearances is part of a wider attempt to “increase his media footprint as the campaign has gone forward as one would expect.”

While Bush has increased his presence on the channel, Donald Trump still holds a massive lead in airtime over his competitors.
