Hannity is considered by WH Staff as Trump's Unofficial Chief of Staff

The phone calls between President Trump and Sean Hannity come early in the morning or late at night, after the Fox News host goes off the air. They discuss ideas for Hannity’s show, Trump’s frustration with the ongoing special counsel probe and even, at times, what the president should tweet, according to people familiar with the conversations. When he’s off the phone, Trump is known to cite Hannity when he talks with White House advisers.

The revelation this week that the two men share an attorney is just the latest sign of how Hannity is intertwined with Trump’s world — an increasingly powerful confidant who offers the media-driven president a sympathetic ear and shared grievances. The conservative commentator is so close to Trump that some White House aides have dubbed him the unofficial chief of staff.

Fox News’ Kremlin Ties Go Much Deeper Than Just Sean Hannity

http://observer.com/2018/04/report-s...ent-in-latvia/

This week, Latvian Public Broadcasting reported an astonishing story about how Fox News operates in their country. As unmasked by a local investigation, Russian-language versions of the network’s programming that are broadcast in Latvia aren’t merely translated; they’re edited for content in a pro-Kremlin direction. Per the report, which cites internal Fox News regulations:

Translators have to follow Russian subtitling guidelines requiring glossing over or ‘softening content’ concerning accidents, homosexual relationships, ‘anti-Russian propaganda,’ narcotics, extremist activities and suicides. For instance, the translators are instructed to ‘soften’ all negative language about the Russian military and space program, policies of the Russian president and government, while positive texts about same-sex relationships have to be made more generalized so they could be attributed to relationships of any kind.

Fox News is unambiguously on the side of the Kremlin in this information struggle against little Latvia—and the entire Western world. It’s not just what Fox News is beaming into the Baltic states that merits scrutiny. The network’s reports on Latvia for Western audiences—for instance one last month pushed blatant Russian propaganda and cited the Centre for Research on Globalization, a notorious Kremlin disinformation front—likewise deserve investigation.

Above all, Americans should ask what Fox News’ relationship with Putin’s regime actually is. It’s one thing to allow known disinformateurs like Sean Hannity to push Russian-made lies on air; it’s even worse to give Moscow editorial control over its “reporting.” If Fox News is skewing the news in a pro-Kremlin direction for political effect in a free and democratic society like Latvia, they can do it anywhere.

Nothing here about Chuckie Todd and his Dem strategist spouse, huh? Stephanapolous? Chris Cuomo? Christiane Amanpour? Laura Jarrett? Chelsea Clinton's stint at NBC? David Rhodes? Claire Shipman? And on and on and on....

The news media and Washington politics/politicians have a pretty incestuous relationship.

You know absolutely nothing about journalism. You’re as clueless about ethics as Donny and his crew. What a waste of natural resources you are,

Oh, right. I "know absolutely nothing" about it because Chickie says so. Offer an actual attempt at refuting the facts that I posted? Nah, that's beyond little Chickie.

Now, go play with your Legos and Barbie dolls.

Once again, thanks for the morning laugh! . You really don’t understand your level of stupidity, do you?
