Fox has had a tail wind since Trump threw his hat in the ring. MSNBC was even ahead of FOX in the love fest….but too much push back from the Liberal owners now have MSNBC on the outside looking in. I don’t see Trump demanding news outlets kiss his ass but at least be fair once in a while. CNN of all outlets are waking up to this concept.

No. Breitbart and InfoWars are the new source of record according to the White House.

Fox is crap which is why Trump likes it. If you want a state run media there are better ones than Fox and you could have a better man for president than Trump.

Limiting press conferences to sycophants is not a good strategy for discouraging leaks. I know that leaking is illegal, but it has always been there and has been useful in showing just what type of person Trump is. Unless he can find some way of identifying the leakers or (even less likely) starts telling the truth, leaked news provided by such “failed” news outlets as the New York Times and CNN may end up being a major source of information.

I think they may have the inside lane. But everyone needs to beware of them and their “so-called” experts. The got caught last week using a Faux (pronouced “Fox) Expert to attempt to justify a recent Trumpfact about the Swedish Terrorism wave.
And that is only one of several. Remember the Fake CIA Agent expert from last year?
