The reaction to this traitorous behavior was swift and nearly unanimous. Even many of the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=38481\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">reliable Fox News shills<\/a><\/strong> veered from their customary Trump-fluffing to condemn the President for throwing America under the bus.<\/p>\n<p>The exceptions to that were just who you might predict. Trump ran with his tail between his legs to be consoled by Sean Hannity at Fox News immediately after the disastrous press conference. And eager bootlickers like Lou Dobbs and Jeanine Pirro came to Trump&#8217;s defense with nearly incomprehensible rationalizations for his glassy-eyed infatuation with Putin. And Putin himself chose Fox News as the network he would give his first post-summit interview to.<\/p>\n<p>Which makes the following report from a Kremlin pool correspondent all the more understandable. Dmitry Smirnov is a journalist with the Special Corps of Komsomolskaya Pravda. He was covering the Putin-Trump summit in Helsinki, Finland, and had this to say after Putin&#8217;s interview with Chris Wallace of Fox News (translated from the Russian in the tweet):<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>&#8220;Another gift to Trump: In Helsinki Vladimir Putin gave an interview to the American channel Fox News, owned by the US president.&#8221;<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"uk\" dir=\"ltr\">??? ???? ??????? ??????: ? ????????? ???????? ????? ??? ???????? ????????????? ?????? Fox News, ?????????????? ?????????? ??? <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/gwMTFc95ag\">pic.twitter.com\/gwMTFc95ag<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; ??????? ??????? (@dimsmirnov175) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/dimsmirnov175\/status\/1018933353200979969?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">July 16, 2018<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Owned by the US president? Not technically. However it is easy to understand how someone could have made that mistake. Fox News has been accurately described as America&#8217;s version of State TV. They feverishly defend Trump and shield him from any and all criticism. They tenaciously struggle to validate his glaringly evident lies. And they work furiously to smear his opponents and to advance crackpot conspiracy theories in order to misdirect the public&#8217;s attention from Trump&#8217;s abject failures.<\/p>\n<p>But Trump doesn&#8217;t own Fox News. Rupert Murdoch does. Which is a distinction with very little difference. Murdoch is an unrelenting supporter of Trump throughout his media empire. He permits his <em>&#8220;reporters&#8221;<\/em> to post stories that are wholly lacking in facts, but abound in one-sided, extremist opinions. He even lets them act as Trump surrogates and mouthpieces at political events. That&#8217;s something that no reputable news organization would tolerate.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align:center;\"><strong>How Fox News Deceives and Controls Their Flock:<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B00QSSMOES\/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&#038;camp=1789&#038;creative=9325&#038;creativeASIN=B00QSSMOES&#038;linkCode=as2&#038;tag=newscorpsecom-20&#038;linkId=TLI6JC2OYE22MUTS\" target=\"_blank\">Fox Nation vs. Reality: The Fox News Cult of Ignorance.<\/a><br \/>\nAvailable now at Amazon.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>So the Russian correspondent was not far off base with his tweet. Perhaps the only thing that he got wrong was the direction of the ownership reference. It may be less accurate to say that Trump owns Fox News than to say that Fox News owns Trump. Either way, it&#8217;s an incestuous and unethical relationship that tarnishes them both &#8211; and hurts the media and the country.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s only Tuesday and already Donald Trump has sold out the United States to Russia, our perennial enemy and the country whose military intelligence corrupted our democratic process during the 2016 presidential election.
