The president's personal alliances within Fox News blurs the line showing 'who is influencing who,' but Trump's role as a divide-and-conquer instigator is very clear.
This week's Fox News infighting between hosts Chris Wallace and Laura Ingraham exposed a wide divide separating the cable news network's"opinion people" from their straight news journalists—a fire being fueled in part by the president himself.
The battle lines between the network's overwhelmingly pro-Trump personalities—Sean Hannity, Mark Levin, Ingraham—and the"straight news" hosts—Bret Baier, Smith, Wallace—have been drawn primarily through petty social media posts and thinly veiled on-air critiques. Following, Ingraham and Wallace's back-and-forth sniping Wednesday, Life, Liberty & Levin namesake host Mark Levin made his side clear with a Twitter swipe at Wallace. "Actually, you make no sense at all.
In March, Trump Jr. also hit out at the network's daytime coverage, which focuses heavily on fact-based news in contrast to the opinion based offerings in primetime. The episode earned Hannity and Pirro a formal rebuke from the network, which said,"Fox News does not condone any talent participating in campaign events." The network did not elaborate on what punishment, if any, would be handed out.
