“Everybody on the Inside Knows It’s True”: Woodward’s Book Roils the West Wing

“Pandemonium” reigns as Trump cancels meetings, a top aide bemoans “Judas” colleagues, Jared and Ivanka try to talk sense into the president, and Gary Cohn wonders how he came off.

Trump blames the White House communications staff and Kellyanne Conway for not bringing Woodward’s interview requests to him.

“I’m just hearing about it. So we’re going to have a very inaccurate book,” Trump told Woodward in a phone call

Fox News had racist bigot Tomi Lahren telling viewers “Obama created Festivus to destroy Christmas” (Ms Lahren supports fracking and believes that climate change is a myth).

Which Republican Senator will be the first to say that there is something wrong about how Trump is reacting to the news that 12 Russian Military Intelligence officers participated in a #CyberWarfare attack on America in 2016.

Trump's ignoring it, like it didn't happen. #TRE45ON

‘Holy Moly’: Fox’s Neil Cavuto Says Putin ‘Appeared to Run Circles Around the President’

Even Fox hosts were completely stunned by President Donald Trump's performance at his joint presser with Vladimir Putin today.

“This has got to be the most incredible thing I’ve ever witnessed,” Neil Cavuto said. He likened it to someone offering to help look into the cause of a fire that they started.

Stuart Varney said, “It was not a very forceful presentation from President Trump with Putin standing right next to him. Not forceful at all.”

A Fox News host and daughter to U.S. ambassador said Donald Trump threw country "under the bus"

The president said he believed Russia's denials of interfering in the 2016 election.

Abby Huntsman—whose father, Ambassador Jon Huntsman, was with Trump during his bilateral talk with Putin Monday in Helsinki—blasted the president following his botched press conference with Putin. That the accusation came from a Fox News host could prove especially damning for Trump, who has often praised the network for its coverage of him and his administration.

Fox News analyst blasts network as 'propaganda machine' while announcing departure

A longtime Fox News analyst sharply criticized the network on Tuesday, denouncing the outlet as a "propaganda machine" devoted to President Trump, and saying that it was "wittingly harming our system of government for profit," in a stunning internal email announcing his exit from the company.

Ralph Peters, a US Army lieutenant colonel who served as a military analyst for Fox News, said he felt "compelled to explain" his departure from the company to colleagues, before skewering the network he has called home for years.

"Today, I feel that Fox News is assaulting our constitutional order and the rule of law, while fostering corrosive and unjustified paranoia among viewers. Over my decade with Fox, I long was proud of the association. Now I am ashamed."

“In my view, Fox has degenerated from providing a legitimate and much-needed outlet for conservative voices to a mere propaganda machine for a destructive and ethically ruinous administration. When prime-time hosts--who have never served our country in any capacity--dismiss facts and empirical reality to launch profoundly dishonest assaults on the FBI, the Justice Department, the courts, the intelligence community (in which I served) and, not least, a model public servant and genuine war hero such as Robert Mueller--all the while scaremongering with lurid warnings of "deep-state" machinations-- I cannot be part of the same organization, even at a remove. To me, Fox News is now wittingly harming our system of government for profit.”
