As Matt Gertz noted:

Sean Hannity turned his prime-time Fox News show into a rally for Rep. Jim Jordan’s (R-OH) nascent bid for speaker of the House on Wednesday. The veteran Fox host and sometime GOP operative’s support makes sense given how central Jordan has become to the Fox universe’s smears of Democrats and defenses of former President Donald Trump. In fact, in recent years Jordan has made more appearances on the network’s weekday programming than any other member of Congress by a wide margin.

Jordan is a member of the “Fox News Caucus” of Republicans who have used the right-wing propaganda network to bootstrap their careers. A leader of the GOP’s faction of procedural radicals who was once described by Republican former House Speaker John Boehner as “a terrorist,” Jordan garnered Trump’s support by serving as one of his chief defenders on the network, which he has parlayed into increasingly influential positions in Congress.

Fox’s weekday programs have interviewed Jordan more times than any other sitting member of Congress since Media Matters began tabulating cable news guest appearances in August 2017 — and it’s not close. The Ohio Republican appeared at least 565 times on Fox’s programming over that period; the member with the second-most appearances is Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC), with 479. 

And nearly half of Jordan’s Fox weekday interviews, 268 appearances, came in the network’s prime-time block, which generally boasts the highest ratings and most influential hosts.
