From its inception nearly thirty years ago, Fox News has devotedly pursued its mission to advance the goals of ultra conservative extremists in politics and culture. Their obsession with championing the interests of the wealthy and corporations has only grown stronger in the intervening years.

However, a new wrinkle in their role as the right’s primary purveyor of propaganda became apparent with the emergence of the Cult of Trump. From the moment Donald Trump kicked off his political career by descending his grossly gaudy gold-plated escalator in a ludicrous made-for-realty-TV spectacle, Fox News was there to prop up his flagrant lies and pseudo-messianic self image. And to this day they are still doing it.

In February Fox News debuted a program entitled “My View With Lara Trump.” It’s host was, of course, Donald Trump’s daughter-in-lawlessness, Lara. The absurdity of an alleged “news” network giving a primetime program to a close relative of the sitting occupier of the White House is impossible to overstate.

This affront to journalism by Fox News is particularly grotesque considering that this Trump relative has been such a fanatical partisan and is not only the wife of Trump’s son Eric, but also the stooge that he installed as chair of the Republican Party. Just imagine the outcry from the right if MSNBC hired Hunter Biden to host a primetime show on that network.

So how has it been going on Lara’s new program? Well, so far Lara’s “View” has featured interviews with a broad variety of guests ranging from the rabid right all the way to the most malicious mouthpieces of MAGA Land. They include Trump’s anti-press secretary, Karoline Leavitt, his bought and paid for attorney general, Pam Bondi, his former DOGE partner, Vivek Ramaswamy, his Russian asset/director of national intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, and his Black friend, Byron Donalds.

That’s not exactly a roster that represents fairness and/or balance. Rather, it is a brazenly biased collection of Trump puppets whose sole duties are to disseminate his disinformation doctrine. As an example of nepo-baby Lara’s unique reportage skills, here’s a clip of her interview of Trump’s Transportation Secretary, Sean Duffy…

That is downright hysterical! Lara’s question is actually an affirmation that Duffy has no business being in a presidential Cabinet. His resume as a contestant on MTV’s “The Real World,” and as a Fox News talking head, is joke. He has zero qualifications for anything related to transportation or civic planning. It is inevitable that he is going to screw up. And the people are going to suffer the consequences, which could be deadly.

That said, Duffy’s appointment is consistent with Trump’s employment standards. To date Trump has recruited at least 19 utterly unqualified people from Fox News, including his Defense Secretary, Pete Hegseth. And by the way, Duffy’s wife, Rachel Campos-Duffy, is currently a co-host of Fox and Friends.

Lara Trump is an example of how the Trump/Fox News revolving door spins both ways. And she isn’t the only one. Trump’s former press secretary, Kayleigh McEnany, is now a co-host of Fox’s “Outnumbered.” And former GOP congressman, Jason Chaffetz, has a show on Fox Nation. Many others in the Trump Cult are contributors or frequent guests.

This isn’t a coincidence. It’s a strategy. It is how aspiring totalitarian tyrants maneuver the media to manufacture support among a gullible and brainwashed audience. Trump is following the playbook he has acquired from his idols Vladimir Putin, Viktor Orbán, and other dictators. And patriotic Americans need to wake up and recognize the danger ASAP, or we will suffer the same fate as past fallen democracies.
