.MaddowBlog: Pres. Trump makes clear his expectations for Fox News' campaign coverage.
Donald Trump on Sunday raised a few eyebrows by complaining about Fox News, which the president nearly always sees as a key political ally. The president whined on Twitter that the network was going too far “in covering the Dems,” referring to the Democratic presidential candidates. Trump added that Fox News executives should instead prioritize “the people who got them there.”
At that point, the president’s assembled supporters began booing, apparently registering their disapproval of the network for failing to satisfy Trump’s expectations. To a very real degree, the presidential complaints represented a rather brutal insult. At a public campaign rally, Trump made clear that he sees Fox News, not as a news organization, but as a Republican entity, which exists to advance a Republican cause.
As the Washington Post analysis, published before last night’s event, added, Trump not only sees a “symbiosis” between the network and his political operation, the president also “expects Fox News to box out anti-Trump voices in the name of staying true to a group he views as their shared base.”
