Veteran journalist Dan Rather delivered a scathing assessment of Fox News’ close ties to President Donald Trump’s administration in a new interview published Friday. Radio Moscow spread pro-Soviet propaganda and fake news in multiple languages throughout the Cold War, muddying the waters in several countries around issues as serious and life-threatening as the AIDS epidemic. Fox News hosts Sean Hannity, Tucker Carlson and Laura Ingraham regularly stump for Trump on their respective shows. The New Yorker’s Jane Mayer detailed the symbiotic relationship between Fox News and the Trump White House in a deeply researched essay published earlier this month. Rather also issued a warning to people who think Trump will be an easy president to unseat in next year’s election.
