This on the media is about the relationship between President Trump and Fox News. Fox news has made billions of dollars exploding the politics resentment. Gladstone says Foxism and Trumpism were made for each other, the Trump-Fox symbiosis is a perfect feedback loop in which the presidents agenda informs fox's coverage and Fox's reactionary coverage informs the presidents thinking. When the president says something false you aren't going to hear about it from fox news as much as you would from other news sources. When Trump lies or deflects his own outrages fox can be counted on to click its heals, for instance when his national security advisor Michael Flynn was revealed by leaked intelligence to have lied about talking with the Russians about sanctions the President tweeted his anger not about diplomatic subversion but about the leaks themselves.
I did some outside research and found from Media Matters and found Trump announced that he would skip the presidential debate hosted by Fox unless the network removed Megyn Kelly from the moderator panel. The network refused and issued a statement that said, "We learned from a secret back channel that the Ayatollah and Putin both intend to treat Donald Trump unfairly when they meet with him if he becomes president." Trump responded: "I didn't like the fact that they sent out press releases toying, talking about Putin, and playing games. I don't know what games Roger Ailes is playing, what's wrong over there?"
Gladstone then goes on to talk to about Trump and what he says about immigration and the travel ban. Immigration officers are now going to have a much broader digression to decide who to round up in the first place. For example if an agent goes on a raid to find a criminal undocumented immigrant, anyone who happens to be with that person at the same time who is also here unlawfully may now be deported along them.
Great Post Shelby. I truly found this OTM very intresting for example oh it talks about Foxism and Trumpism where meant for each other. Trump does some dumb things time to time and i feel that Fox is used as a bailout some times for himself. Because he makes it seems like it is their fault and that they are out to get him with the "Fake News". Also another thing i found intresting is how the boader will stiffer for now on. I do agree that if you are an illegal immigrant and you are with other illegal immigrants you should be deported. There was many others that worked hard and sacrificed many thing to be an American. So why should other be allowed to play the system and have to do it the right way. Not Fair in my eyes.
