The president starts his day by tweeting a quote from last night's Lou Dobbs Tonight.

Trump apparently switching over to Fox & Friends, and cheering a lawsuit against The Washington Post.

Fox contributor Gowdy has arrived.

It's possible the president is responding to Fox & Friends reporting on the big Times story on Trump's war on investigations into him

Trump also might have changed the channel, the story has been getting lots of play on CNN and MSNBC this morning, including a lengthy Morning Joe segment that started shortly before his tweet.
The train tweet looks like a Fox reaction though. Could be this Fox & Friends newsbrief.

This was also the lead story on America's Newsroom.

Former CBS News correspondent Lara Logan will apparently be on Hannity tonight. Conservative press liked her describing the media as "mostly liberal" during a recent interview. She also used that appearance to rewrite her Benghazi trainwreck. mediamatters.org/blog/2019/02/1…
Seems like she's going full Attkisson.
A reminder: This is what Logan said in 2013 in apologizing for the retracted report that @mmfa had criticized. Now she says we smeared her, and that "nothing that was said about me in the wake of that was true."

Hiring a political operative with no journalism experience as a commentator, as a host, as a reporter, and as an editor overseeing reporters are all different things that generally lead to different responses.
The first three are at least somewhat common. The last, as far as I know, is not. If it is as well, people should provide examples of it, rather than examples of the first three.
The boring take is the accurate one: Particular people will criticize particular hires to particular positions based on particular circumstances.

President Trump spent years viciously bashing CNN, and his supporters have been arrested for calling in death threats and sending bombs.

And CNN's response is to put a former member of his administration in charge of their politics coverage?

Hell of an incentive structure.
A reminder: There is literally nothing any news outlet can do to avoid the president attacking them as the "enemy of the people," short of going full Hannity.

The attack is made in bad faith, and that is what it takes to avoid it.
Putting Corey Lewandowski on the CNN payroll *while he was still on the Trump payroll* didn't do it. Neither did loading up with pro-Trump commentators. Neither did firing reporters who published stories that fell apart.

Donald Trump's day so far:

- Heather Nauert withdraws as UN Ambassador
- Maybe nominating someone from Fox & Friends for high office wasn't the best idea
- Trump tweets that he's "BUILDING THE WALL!"
- No he's not, but he's "GOING TO JAIL!"
- It's still only 8:30pm

Trump Hotels' website still lists Trump SoHo New York among its properties in the Our Hotels menu. Select its name though to access its page and there's a message about it being renamed
