Former Fox News Anchor says FNC Has Sold Out to Trump
There is not much doubt that Fox News has gone soft when it comes to covering President Trump.
Many believe that Trump has Fox News in his back pocket and now a former Fox News Anchor is saying that as well.
Former "Red Eye" Anchor Andy Levy says that Fox News should be the main network fighting back against Trump in order to maintain its journalistic integrity. But, that is not happening.
Trump constantly praises Fox News and Fox News constantly sucks up to Trump.
“The people who should be the most embarrassed by this are the ones at Fox News, and I suspect a solid handful of them are. The press is not supposed to be on the side of people in power ever. The press is supposed to be adversarial, the press is supposed to question, the press is not supposed to curry favor with authority,” Levy said.
“He should never view a media outlet as being on his side,” Levy said of the president Monday night. “And the whole thing is sad, and Fox News should disavow it, but it kinda can’t, ’cause with a couple of exceptions, they have backed themselves into this corner, and now they’re the Trump News Network and that’s their lifeblood.”
