And those are just the official crossovers. You also have Lou Dobbs, Sean Hannity, Tucker Carlson, Jeanine Pirro, and Pete Hegseth counseling the president privately while hosting shows on the network, and the way the Fox & Friends gang shapes his worldview.

1. Rep. John Ratcliffe (R-TX), President Trump's pick for Director of National Intelligence, has virtually no experience in the field. But he's been a vigorous defender of the president and critic of the Mueller probe, including on Trump's favorite television shows.
2. Here he is on Fox & Friends the morning after the Mueller hearings saying that the report was written by "lawyers that didn't like Donald Trump" and we need to find out whether the way "Russia really did interfere" was with a "fake dossier."
3. Ratcliffe: "The big winner yesterday was Donald Trump, because impeachment is dead."

Brian Kilmeade, who occasionally tells President Trump that what he's doing isn't a great idea, is off today, and Pete Hegseth, who advises Trump and has been floated for a cabinet post is in explaining that the attacks on Rep. Elijah Cummings are brilliant and not racist.
Really spun up the bad-faith defenses of racist commentary quickly this time.
FYI the president's Sharpton attacks do not originate with Fox programming.

**emerges following a 12-hour power outage in 95-degree heat with a one-year-old** Well this got out of hand fast. Let's see what we've got.
Hegseth tweet shows the president watching and responding to Fox in real time this morning.

Left, Fox & Friends Sunday, 8:06 a.m.
Right, Trump, 8:12 a.m.
Fox & Friends addressed Pelosi's response to Trump's Cummings tweet at the top of the show, with Hegseth complaining that Dems will always call Trump racist but there's a "systemic culture of poverty" in his district.

Left, Fox & Friends, 6:02 a.m.
Right, Trump, 7:28 a.m.

Americans are once again allowing the Republican and Democrat party divide us over race, when in fact race is not the issue! Please look at the foreign policies these woman support, and the policies they do not support! This is not about race & we must address the real issues!
@AyannaPressley, @RashidaTlaib, @IlhanMN, @AOC.

I ask for Americans to please look at the human policies these woman are addressing. I ask Americans to actually research the US Foreign Policy that causes massive Refugees and Endless War.
I ask Americans to look at who is funding the election campaigns of their representatives. I ask Americans to question why we are continously at war, when it does not benefit the United States! I ask Americans to research the foreign influence that controls US policy!

Fox News contributor Robert Jeffress is a terrible bigot with a history of rhetoric against LGBTQ, Jewish, and Muslim people, among many others. Fox anchor Shannon Bream recently praised him as coming "from a very good place" and will appear at his church. mediamatters.org/blog/2019/06/0…
"From a very good place":
"Judaism, you can't be saved being a Jew." (More: mediamatters.org/research/2015/…)

Who funds the IEA, the TPA, the ASI &co?
You know, the RW 'free trade' thick tanks advocating tax havens, "freedom" (no regulations like workers' rights or environmental protection), no welfare (no tax & no free healthcare).
Basically, "Only the wealthier survive" philosophy?
1/n
*Could it be* that it has something to do with defending their funders' interests?
Today, I'm going to tell you the Thick Tanks' Hydra tale.
Featuring Atlas, huge piles of money, tradition, "free speech", useful idiots and a very clear agenda that Brexit/Trump are a part of.
2/n
Take a seat: It's a long story, with a lot of players, including politicians, pretty ladies squatting your TV, the climate change denial's network, the global fascist movement, Silicon Valley/multiname data-stealing/misusing company & private companies' involved in elections.

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
