Media Matters：NRSC警告后，福克斯新闻亲数据中心报道增加
Media Matters分析称，在美国共和党参议员全国委员会警告科技公司共和党候选人在关键摇摆州面临困境后，福克斯新闻有关数据中心的正面报道在前两周基础上增加了420%。主持人与嘉宾的亲数据中心观点增至五倍。支持数据中心的说法由39条增至203条，数量接近反对说法的两倍。所获报道未说明其引用的、认为公众普遍反对AI数据中心建设的多项民调的细节。
这项分析量化了NRSC警告后福克斯新闻在数据中心议题上的明显转向，并显示数据中心已成为2026年11月美国中期选举前的一项政治议题。
- Fox News pro-data center perspectives increased fivefold following a warning from the National Republican Senatorial Committee
- Republicans are losing the midterm electoral race in Ohio, and data centers are central to the Democrat campaign
- Tech companies were told to "fix how Ohioans see" data centers
New research has found that Fox News coverage on pro-data center topics has risen by 420% since August 18 2026 - the day the National Republican Senatorial Committee warned tech companies that Republican candidates were losing to Democrats in key battleground states.
These are the findings of Media Matters, a nonprofit journalism watchdog which analyzed the two weeks preceding the GOP warning and compared it to the following period. Pro-data center perspectives from guests and Fox News hosts quintupled.
AI, and the data centers that power the technology, have become a hot button issue in the run up to the November US midterm elections. Numerous polls have suggested that the majority of Americans oppose the buildout of AI data centers and infrastructure.
AI opposition is a Chinese psyop
The private memo from the GOP, as reported by Axios, explained that tech companies need to change public perspectives on AI data centers, lest Republicans candidates lose to a “Democrat candidate who wants to stop data center construction altogether, which will cause America to lose the AI race to China”.
