Fox News Hosts, Anchors Pay Virtual Visits Across U.S. in New ‘For All America' Campaign
Fox News Channel wants viewers to think of its hosts and anchors as the type of people you might see while taking in a football game, eating at the local diner, or even on board a military transport.
A new Fox News promo uses digital technology to insert Sean Hannity in a neighborhood eatery; Bill Hemmer and Dana Perino in front of what looks like a field of wheat; Jesse Watters and Laura Ingraham at a football game; and Harris Faulkner on board what appears to be a Navy ship. The hosts talk about a new era 'where common sense….' says Martha MacCallum, holding forth at a shopping center, '….meets common ground,' adds Bret Baier, her frequent co-anchor.

'This is a time to come together,' add the various hosts, who also include Greg Gutfeld, 'for all America.'
Executives at Fox News hope to create the notion that there is a single, broad American audience and that its anchors can speak to it. In the new promo, Fox News and the vignette's producers have found ways to place some of the network's best-known personalities in front of various parts of the country, from an urban restaurant to what appears to be a rural field.
Fox News Channel introduced the phrase 'For All America' earlier this year, during a broadcast of Super Bowl LIX on its sister Fox broadcast network. But the new promo, slated to appear Monday on Fox News, marks what is expected to be more frequent use of the wording as parent Fox Corporation is making a bid to woo advertising support for the outlet from broadcast networks like NBC, ABC and CBS ahead of the TV industry's annual 'upfront' sales market.
With more consumers choosing to stream traditional programming, live news — meant to be consumed the minute it airs — may have new appeal for the portion of Madison Avenue that does not view the format as polarizing. While CNN and MSNBC have grappled with ratings fluctuations since the 2024 presidential election, Fox News in the first quarter captured 65% of the audience in total day and 66% in primetime. Fox News, citing data from Nielsen MRI Fusion, says the cable network is watched by more Hispanic and Asian viewers than its rivals and by more independent and Democratic voters.
Fox News will continue to use its current tagline, 'America is Watching.'

Impeachment wars
Rep. Jasmine Crockett's mere mention of a possible impeachment inquiry into President Trump has touched off negative reactions from some colleagues. "I think she's going to turn off a lot more people than gain," a House Democrat told us. Why it matters: House Democratic leaders are staying neutral. But many Democrats are allergic to the word after they impeached Trump twice only for him to return to power with full control of the government. Crockett (D-Texas), asked in a local news interview if she would pursue impeachment if Democrats retook the House in 2026 and she became Oversight Committee chair, said she would "absolutely at least do an inquiry." The other three candidates for the ranking member job on Oversight, Reps. Robert Garcia (D-Calif.), Stephen Lynch (D-Mass.) and Kweisi Mfume (D-Md.), told us they wouldn't go that far. 👿 "Turning this ranker race into a proxy for impeachment is unhelpful and unfair to her colleagues," said a House Democrat who predicted Republicans will "try to motivate their base by saying that a Democratic majority will inevitably lead to impeachment." Crockett told us the term "impeachment inquiry" would stress to the public the "next level of gravity" of the subject matter — such as Trump's pardons for big money allies and the Qatari jet scandal. "A lot of times we as Democrats can overthink stuff," Crockett said. "A lot of people ... felt like [Oversight Committee chair] James Comer was an embarrassment. But at the end of the day, who won the House?" The bottom line: House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries deferred to House Judiciary Committee ranking member Jamie Raskin (D-Md.), whose panel, he said, "has jurisdiction over impeachment."

Reagan's Diplomacy Returns
President Donald Trump's Middle East trip represents a fundamental break with the 'liberal internationalism' of his recent predecessors and returns the U.S. to the pragmatic foreign policy practiced by Ronald Reagan ('The Trump Doctrine of the Deal,' Review & Outlook, May 17). While the president may not use Reagan's idealistic language, his approach is similar to that outlined by Reagan's first U.N. ambassador, Jeane Kirkpatrick, who advocated cooperation with regimes that shared Washington's core interests regardless of their internal governance. Mr. Trump, a firm believer in peace through strength, is marrying restored deterrence, realistic strategic objectives and a commitment to commercial diplomacy to restore America's global standing after 25 years of overstretch and strategic missteps. His speech in Riyadh is a fitting antidote to President George W. Bush's 2005 inaugural address, which promised to 'end tyranny in our world' and diverted American attention from the rising threat of China and the return of great-power competition. Alexander B.

Adams Team Works Behind Scenes to Try to Sway Rabbis Against Cuomo
Mayor Eric Adams may be running an unusually low-key race for re-election in New York City, opting out of the Democratic primary and mounting an independent general election run without even a campaign manager to steer it. But behind the scenes, he is making an aggressive play to try to shape the field to his liking and hold onto a key voting bloc. A top aide to Mr. Adams has been calling Orthodox Jewish leaders in recent weeks to urge them not to back Andrew M. Cuomo in the June 24 Democratic primary, or to temper their support for him if they do, according to six people familiar with the effort. Mr. Adams's allies have indicated they believe he would have a better chance of winning the general election if Zohran Mamdani, the democratic socialist assemblyman now polling in second place, defeats Mr. Cuomo and becomes the Democratic nominee. At the same time, Mr. Adams has used his mayoral powers to make policy pronouncements that seem designed to resonate with some Orthodox Jews. He signed an executive order recognizing the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance's definition of antisemitism and created the Mayor's Office to Combat Antisemitism to address the spike in antisemitic hate crimes in the city. 'He is going around to people to ask for support for the general election,' said Rabbi Moishe Indig, a leader of one faction of the Satmar Hasidic group in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. 'He would love that everyone just ignore the primary and wait until the fall.' Want all of The Times? Subscribe.
