Trump seems to get his daily briefings from "Fox & Friends" and get directions from Sean Hannity and Jeanine Pirro. Comedian Jordan Klepper went with the "TV-run state" idea in a commentary last April: "Fox says it, Trump spreads it." In 2018, Fox contributor John Bolton became National Security Adviser. Trump has given 41 interviews to Fox since inauguration day, far more than every other major TV network combined. The remaining assets, including Fox News and the Fox broadcast network, will be run by Rupert Murdoch's son Lachlan.
