This Is How Fux Noise and Trump Create a Vicious Cycle of Conspiracy Theories

Sean Hannity might not be employed by the White House as an adviser to President Donald Trump, but he might as well be, considering the undue influence the Fox News channel host has over our president. A new, extensive report from Media Matters for America, a nonprofit, left-leaning news-media watchdog group, illustrates exactly how the “feedback loop” between Fox and Trump works.

According to Media Matters’ Matthew Gertz — who documented each time the president’s tweets were inspired by Fox News hosts — the conservative news channel prompted more than 600 tweets from Trump this past year, nearly two tweets per day. And that number appears to be rising with each passing month.

And, in 2019 alone, Fox personalities helped convince Trump to:

Investigate former Vice President Joe Biden
Investigate the origins of the Mueller probe
Shut down the federal government
Declare a national emergency to secure funding for the border wall
Pardon a convicted war criminal
Cancel a missile strike on Iran

But those issues are a mere sampling of the veritable pu pu platter of conspiracy theories and conservative, America-first viewpoints Fox offered up. Others include trade wars with China and Mexico, alleged “voter fraud,” and the firing of former national security adviser John Bolton. Fox even goaded Trump into his racist attacks against Democratic Rep. Elijah Cummings and the city of Baltimore. In some cases, such as the government shutdown, Trump went against Republican leadership in favor of Fox News hosts.

He's easily manipulated. Just ask Putin and Kim Jong Un.

1. Cancel a missile strike on Iran?

I guess a broken clock is right twice a day.

2. I read somewhere that Trump and Hannity talk every night.

This wouldn't surprise me at all. I think it came out during the Cohen trial. I think Hannity has also been involved in business dealings with Trump, but I don't remember what all that involved. I remember thinking that Hannity had better watch out or he might end up in legal trouble.
