One Media Company is Carrying ICE's Public Image Almost Entirely on its Shoulders with Drew Eldredge-Martin

“One media company is now carrying ICE’s public image almost entirely on its shoulders…"

After analyzing 12 billion views across 90,019 videos posted in December and January, Drew Eldredge‑Martin of Ground Truth AI found that Fox News accounts for 70% of ALL views on YouTube tied to positive narratives about ICE — without Fox, the pro‑ICE narrative would nearly collapse.

In this episode of Hello Merge Tag, Drew breaks down what his narrative analysis reveals about who’s shaping the conversation, what content is actually driving attention, and what it means for campaigns in 2026.

We covered:

🔹 Why Fox News is driving both positive and negative ICE content

🔹 What types of videos are rising to the top of YouTube

🔹 The growing role of AI‑generated content in narrative shaping

🔹 Who the heck Benjamin is — and why he’s outperforming CNN on this topic

🔹 What sentiment data leading into Election Day tells us about the big 2025 campaigns

🔹 Why campaign teams need to pay even more attention to user‑generated content

🔹 And why you shouldn’t be sleeping on YouTube

If you want to understand how digital narratives actually map to influence — and what that means for politics, brands, and public opinion — this episode is a must‑catch.
