Word salad through the years

 If you've been wondering who gets to serve the word salad at the Fox News homepage, here's a quick look at headlines, 2022-24.

The runaway leader, to no one's surprise, is Kamala Harris. (The only other entrant is Karine Jean-Pierre, from which you may draw conclusions.) The term is sporadic in 2022 and 2023, with nearly as many unique "word salad" headlines during three months of the 2024 campaign (9) as in the months preceding (10). Except in two cases sourced to other networks' programs, all of these are sourced primarily to social media comments.

In the gaffe category, Joe Biden is the champion with 35 unique "gaffe" headlines. Harris has 7, other Democrats have 8, Jill Biden has 3, and -- surprise -- Donald Trump has 1 ("Haley seizes Trump gaffe to suggest he may not be 'mentally fit' to be president," during primary season).

Stay tuned.
