A Producer at Nexstar’s News Nation tells FTVLive, “There’s a basic assumption that Michael Corn, Bill Shine, Uncle Perry, and Sean Compton are pushing for morning in America/NewsNation to compete with Fox and Friends and Fox in general.”

You look at their latest promotion and see how people inside News Nation come to that conclusion.

Reporter Markie Martin has been bumped up to the morning newscast at News Nation.

You may remember that it was Martin that landed an exclusive interview with former President Donald Trump. What neither Martin nor News Nation told you is the fact that Markie Martin's sister Margo Martin, Margo also happens to be Deputy Dir. of Comms for Donald Trump.

It was no wonder that Markie’s interview with Trump was nothing more than softball batting practice.

While many might think that Martin might not be the most objective person to be anchoring morning newscasts on News Nation.

She might be exactly what the Nexstar brass want as they try and grow from Fox News lite to a full fledge right-wing cable news outlet.
