Gabriel Sherman: “When liberals look at Fox News, they tend to see Trump TV: a cable network that, with a few exceptions, has relentlessly pushed his policy objectives, and praised him in the terms that he loves. But that is not the way Donald Trump himself sees it…”
“Trump’s view that Fox is insufficiently loyal has motivated him to look for a more reliable media partner… Trump now is on the verge of having that alternative. According to sources, an investor group aligned with his son Don Jr. and the Dallas-based Hicks family has acquired a major stake in One America News Network, the fledgling conservative cable-news channel that features hosts like Jack Posobiec, a chief promoter of the Pizzagate conspiracy.”
Said one source: “This is all about building a Fox competitor. Trump is really aiming to take down Fox.”
