Great. But that’s not what I’m talking about. No president before or likely after Trump so directly controlled the narrative. Nobody ever spent as much time directly speaking through an outlet as trump did. Nobody ever made the number of regular off air calls to a guy like Hannity that went through the issues and how they were covered.
Yes, the media generally is very liberal. And yes every administration has favored voices in the media. But, as a matter of degree, trumps control over Fox News is unlike anything in US history.
