Brief #20 - Wildcard

Crooks and Liars
During the 2016 Presidential Election, Donald Trump openly discredited multiple news media outlets and biased news in its entirety, but one that many can designate as his safe haven was Fox News. Examining several media outlets throughout the election and me personally leaning more supportive of the Democratic stance on issues I did not watch Fox News. I found it humorous when I saw an article about President Elect Donald Trump hijacking key analysts from Fox News for his administration. The article in question was entitled "Is Trump Hiring The Entire Fox News Cast?" it was featured on  Crooks and Liars and encompassed the fact that "hiring the entire Fox News Cast" is exactly what President Elect Donald Trump is doing. Here is an excerpt from Rachel Maddow's segment regarding the Fox Alumni/ Trump Administration: "But we do know that the incoming president watches Fox News and he likes it now, apparently. He likes it enough that he's picked it up by the ankles, given it a good shake and started to move its whole roster off of Rupert Murdoch and onto the taxpayers of the United States. What a time to be alive."The article also included a statement from Fox News' executive Greg Gutfield from The Fives: "What becomes of Fox News? So I'm looking at the roster so far. You've got KT McFarland, Ben Carson, [John] Bolton, [Monica] Crowley, [Mike] Huckabee, Scott Brown. These are all FNC mainstays. Are they going to replace the Supreme Court with Outnumbered? Does that make Clarence Thomas one lucky guy? I'm worried. We're not going to have anybody here anymore."
