Fox News hired Hope Hicks. |
Disney is planning on buying the Fox Company and will acquire a handful of networks. The only thing Disney will not get is the Fox News Channel, the Fox Nation streaming service and Fox Business Network, Trump's favorite cable news channels.
Hicks who left the White House this year got a quid pro quo over at Fox. Hicks was the White House Communications Director from August 2017 to February 2018. She replaced Anthony Scaramucci, the former controversial Fox News pundit who held the position for only two weeks.
She will be heading to Los Angeles. She will be trained to learn the language to public relations. She will be doing crisis management.
New Fox will only be basically the right wing propaganda that helped Trump get elected. It was the propaganda to sway Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME) and Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) into supporting Brett Kavanaugh, the newly minted Supreme Court nominee.
This deal will make The Walt Disney Co. one of the largest media conglomerates in the world.
This example of unethical behavior is an example of how Donald J. Trump and Rupert Murdoch can control the narrative.

Shine, Newt Gingrich and Sean "Softball" Hannity were huddling a strategy with Trump this past week. They are figuring out a strategy to rile up white people. The group of three are considered the "brains" behind Trump's tweets and agenda. The washed up politico, the disgraced Fox News co-president and the country's most annoying conservative agitator are advising Trump to discredit, lie and half-truth his statements. It's proven successful. Because of the "softball" treatment of Kavanaugh, the Republicans and one sole Democrat managed to confirm the most polarizing federal judge to the nation's top court.
Now the court could swing conservative for years. Republicans now are stepping up security in the wake of the confirmation. They are hoping to inspire their base to turn out for the Midterms.
Fox News and Trump have face scrutiny for years. The relationship between the far right network and former reality television star goes as far back in 2006. When Trump got on the soapbox to attack Rosie O'Donnell, the former host The View, the network was more than willing to give him an opportunity to bash O'Donnell.
When Barack Obama was running for his second term, Trump was constantly attacking him for not revealing his long-form birth certificate.Trump was calling Obama out for golf outings. He was bashing the former president for his handling of the economy, the assassination of Osama bin Laden (which interrupted his Celebrity Apprentice season finale) and people in the news.
Softball Hannity and Fox & Friends often allowed Trump to phone in interviews whenever he wanted to bash opponents. Throughout the election, Trump was calling in live bashing on Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL), Jeb Bush, Carly Fiorina, John Kasich and Hillary Clinton.
