that was the network s news side doing it not the opinion side. fox does have reporters who try their best, but the network is defined by its cheerleaders like jesse waters who dined with trump at the white house earlier this year and got an autograph or his co-haas e. host on the five kimberly guilfoyle who is dating donald trump jr. does this affect her day job? how can any of her colleagues criticize trump when the president s son s girlfriend is sitting right there at the table? doesn t this cli kate the entire network s coverage of the trump family? i ve got to ask. speaking of quantity reese. lou dobbs is called into oval office meetings so he can offer his two pents. jeanine pirro has talked to trump about possible jobs, pete hegseth was rumored to be up for the va job. now, they are arguably more valuable to trump right where they are, but trump has poached
