On the Fox News-Trump merger: By my count, 10 former Fox employees now work in the Trump administration. Six more spent time in the administration but have since left. A few more are on tap to join: mediamatters.org/blog/2019/04/1…
Trump has picked people he's watched on TV to fill key roles in his Cabinet, White House posts, and ambassadorships, among others. And he wants two people who spent time at the network to fill Federal Reserve seats. mediamatters.org/blog/2019/04/1…

Fox News responds to yesterday's synagogue shooting by a white nationalist by hosting a former Trump campaign staffer whose grift is trying to get Jews to leave the Democratic Party because it is purportedly anti-Semitic.
Pipko just relaunched her group, changing its name from the stupidly redundant "Jexodus." Trump tweeted about one of her Fox appearances earlier this year. foxnews.com/entertainment/…
I searched Fox & Friends Sunday closed captions for today.

References to white nationalism or white supremacy: 2, both variants of "Police say [the shooter]... is not a member of a white supremacy group."

References to Rep. Ilhan Omar: 2

Last night President Trump praised Alan Dershowitz for an interview he did on Friday night's The Ingraham Angle.

Left, Fox News, 10:47 pm Friday
Right, Trump, 10:57 pm Saturday
Trump has accused Fox's senior judicial analyst of asking him for both a Supreme Court appointment and a pardon for a friend, and said coverage changed when he said no.

Trump is a liar, so we don't know that this is true. But it should put Fox in an impossible situation.
If true, Fox has a responsibility as a media outlet to look into these allegations, because if this actually happened it would be incredibly damning from a journalistic ethics standpoint.

WaPo goes long on how Lou Dobbs and his anti-immigrant Fox show is shaping Trump's border policy: washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/styl…

I wrote about how Dobbs and others fueled the shutdown and set the stage for the national emergency declaration: thedailybeast.com/how-fox-news-p…
It's basically impossible to imagine the contours of any sort of immigration legislation that could command a majority in Congress and survive a Lou Dobbs veto. But that's where we are as a country.
It's insane that a U.S. senator was floating possible deals with Dobbs before the president, but also what else can you do when he apparently has a veto? mediamatters.org/blog/2019/04/0…
