It’s only been a week and ‘Merka already has whiplash trying to determine whether everything coming out of the White House is true. You can now relax and watch the Fox “News” Channel because Emperor Trump has declared it to be Official State Tee Vee.
Those poor deluded Fox viewers:
Trump says he doesn’t need facts as long as
‘very smart’ Fox News viewers agree with him
Trump Praises Fox News, Claims
“Much” Of The Media “Is Fake News”
Trump Claims Every Respectable Media
Outlet That Fact Checks Him Is Fake News
Trump Reportedly Outraged That
CNN Doesn’t Cover Him Like Fox News
Meanwhile, in the real world:
Fair And Balanced Facade Blown To Bits
As Trump Endorses Fox News As State TV
Trump allies are reportedly crowing that
the president has ‘conquered’ Fox News
Fox is falling in line with a White House that demands fealty:
Steve Bannon To Journalists: Kneel Before Trump
Kellyanne Conway: Calling Out Trump’s
Lies Is “Dangerous To The Democracy”
STEVE DOOCY (CO-HOST): Plus there are some, Kellyanne, there are some reporters who are calling — Kellyanne, there are some reporters in some newspapers that are just flat out calling the president a liar. They would never do that to Barack Obama in a million years.
KELLYANNE CONWAY: Even when he did. You can keep your doctor if you like, you can keep your insurance plan. We have 57 states in the nation. I mean, there were plenty of occasions to call out former presidents on their falsehoods and that was done very sparingly and not so strategically. I think it’s dangerous to the democracy and for those around the world watching what we do and how this president is covered in his early days, very dangerous to just throw in adjectives like that, either without evidence, but also without context. And I think some of the coverage, in addition to — bias is easy to detect. It’s really the incomplete coverage that I am watching very closely. It’s, well, what’s missing from the story? What was omitted? What’s left on the cutting room floor that actually would inform the public factuallyabout [sic] what’s happening here? What an amazing week.
DOOCY: No kidding.
It’s always journalistic malpractice to cozy up to presidents, but more so because the last 8 years Fox retailed every Reich Wing attack of President Obama including Birtherism. Compare and contrast:

How They Treated Obama On Day
One – Here’s A Reminder (VIDEO)
There’s nothing Kellyanne Conway won’t blame on the media, including death threats. Everyone laughed when she used the term “alternative facts,” until a Fox Host Says The “Alternative Facts” Show The Unemployment Rate “Hasn’t Budged One Bit In Eight Years”.
No sooner does Trump advisor and Fox contributor Newt Gingrich [say]: NBC News Should Be Blacklisted For “Hostile” Interview With Kellyanne Conway than Trump Team Blacklists CNN On The Sunday After Inauguration. As part of Newt Gingrich’s White House Press Briefing Plan: Ban Questions From Adversarial Journalists, Have A Live Audience. No word on whether it will include a laugh track, which is sorely needed because none of this is funny.
SYCOPHANTIC SEAN: Thursday morning Fox kept cutting away to Hair Force One on the tarmac waiting for Emperor Trump. It turns out he was more than a half hour late departing for the GOP retreat because he was being interviewed by Sean Hannity, who was granted the First Fox Fluffing. That’s official confirmation whose lips Emperor Trump preferred on his ass.
Hannity’s fanboy interview was everything you’d expect:
Hannity Advises Trump To Justify
Torture By Posing Hypothetical
Kidnapping Of A Journalist’s Kids
Hannity to Trump: Do You
Want to Rethink How Your
Administration Deals With the Media?
‘What They’re Saying is That I’m a
Racist’: Trump Tells Hannity Why
He’s Angry Over MLK Bust Flap
The CEO of Trump TV didn’t challenge him on a single thing.

TUCKER? I DON’T EVEN KNOW ‘ER: With so much going on, there’s barely any room to deconstruct the last Carlson standing. In point form:
LUNTZ OUT LOUD: Am I a bad person because I found this funny? At 2:24 in this video, when Fox Pollster Ed Luntz (who now seems to wear a toupee on both ends of his face) almost cried, I almost lost it:
When Luntz tweeted about this he claimed it was “red paint.” On air he says “red confetti glitter.” Alternative facts.
