• How many other damaging Trump stories did Fox sit on?
• Did Fox or Rupert Murdoch or his “figurehead” sons pay hush money on Trump’s behave for other stories? If so, the DOJ should investigate as they did with AMI / National Enquirer!
• What does Michael Cohen know about the Fox arrangement?

In a far-reaching New Yorker exposé titled “The Making of the Fox News White House” published Monday, Jane Mayer dissects the often-incestuous relationship between the Trump White House and Fox News.

In it are numerous highly disturbing claims. Here, a quick look at several of them:

1. Fox News Sat on Story About Trump’s Payoff to Stormy Daniels
2. Roger Ailes Warned Murdoch Off Trump in His Final Days
3. Murdoch Is Actually Closer to Jared Kushner
4. Trump Pressured Gary Cohn to Quash AT&T-Time Warner Deal
5. Trump May Have Been Tipped Off About Megyn Kelly’s Debate Questions
6. Ailes Had a Hit List for Women Who Complained About Sexual Harassment
7. ‘This Is Going to Outrage the Audience!’

Trump's a disgrace for defending predators O'Reilly and Ailes

Trump brings a great deal of baggage that undermines his credibility when he weighs in on sexual harassment.

"In my more than 20 years at Fox News Channel, no one has ever filed a complaint about me with the Human Resources Department, even on the anonymous hotline," “I have put to rest any controversies to spare my children.",  Bill O’Reilly

“I think he’s a person I know well — he is a good person. I think he shouldn’t have settled. Because you should have taken it all the way. I don’t think Bill did anything wrong.”, President Trump

Fox News has said that neither it nor 21st Century Fox has received a subpoena but that they have “been in communication with the U.S. attorney’s office for months.” 

As of Wednesday afternoon (April 5, 2017), 31 companies have said they won’t do business with The O’Reilly Factor

Mr. Ailes, who has denied the allegations against him, received $40 million as part of his exit package. The company has reached settlements with at least six women who accused Mr. Ailes of sexual harassment, according to a person briefed on the agreements.

With the Rio Olympics coming up, I’m enjoying the gymnastics portion of the program that’s about to occur. That would be the contortions that many conservatives will now have to do, to embrace Donald… J. Trump, a man who clearly embodies the things that they have, for years, said that they have hated about Barack Obama.

"The most inexperienced nominee to ever run for President" "One of the most divisive Presidents in history" "Notoriously thin-skinned" "straightforwardly authoritarian" "A ragging narcissist who has no grip on reality"

Obama ‘can’t read a sentence without using a teleprompter’.

praising Trump’s use of teleprompters.

Teleprompters are for stupid people, and I thought Trump handled it pretty good.

Yeah. Who died and made that guy pope? So let’s just say, for real, here’s where we are. Either Lumpy and his friends are lying about being bothered by thin-skinned, authoritarian, less-than-Christian readers-of-prompter being president. Or they don’t care, as long as it’s their thin-skinned prompter-authoritarian-tyrant-narcissist. You just want that person to give you your country back. Because you feel that you’re this country’s rightful owners.

There’s only one problem with that. This country isn’t yours. You don’t own it. It never was. There is no real America. You don’t own it. You don’t own patriotism. You don’t own Christianity. You sure as hell don’t own respect for the bravery and sacrifice of military, police and firefighters.

Trust me. I saw a lot of people on the convention floor in Cleveland with their ‘blue lives matter’ rhetoric, who either remained silent or actively fought against the 9/11 first responders’ bill reauthorisation. I see you and I see your [audio cuts out, Colbert appears from beneath the desk to whisper something to him].

We’re live. [Colbert gives audience thumbs up] Never been on a television show with stakes before. So I see you. You’ve got a problem with those Americans fighting for their place at the table. You’ve got a problem with that because you feel like — what’s Representative Steve King’s word for it? Subgroups of Americans are being divisive. Well, if you have a problem with that, take it up with the founders. We hold these truths to be self-evident. [Singing.] “That all men are created equal.” Respect, Lin-Manuel. Those fighting to be included in the ideal of equality are not being divisive. Those fighting to keep those people out are. So, Lumpy, you and your friends have embraced Donald Trump. Clearly, the ‘c’ next to your names don’t stand for constitutional or conservative. But cravenly, convenient [Colbert interrupts with an air horn.]
