How Fox News Became Trump's Bullhorn

“In 2011, Fox News announced that a new guest would appear weekly on ‘Fox & Friends,’ its chummy morning show… It was the beginning of a beautiful friendship,” the New York Times reports.

“Seven years later, the symbiosis between Donald Trump and his favorite cable network has only deepened. Fox News, whose commentators resolutely defend the president’s agenda, has seen ratings and revenues rise. President Trump views the network as a convenient safe space where he can express himself with little criticism from eager-to-please hosts.”

“Now, the line between the network’s studios and Mr. Trump’s White House is blurring further. Bill Shine, a former Fox News co-president who helped create the look and feel of the channel’s conservative programming, is expected to be hired as the president’s new deputy chief of staff, overseeing communications.”

2. The reason I do not watch FOX News.....

Is the same reason I do not drink out of the toilet.

I heard that line here at DU and committed it to memory. I will use it whenever someone posts a link from FOX .

3. It is full circle

Roger Ailes came out of the Nixon administration. Roger Shine goes back into the Trump Administration.

The two worst criminal administrations in history hand-hand with the most dishonest propaganda network.

What could possibly go wrong.

4. We need to go directly after the Murdochs. They like to think of themselves as respectable.

They need to be shunned and humiliated by the entire world. Fox won't change until he makes them.
