Nicolle Wallace on Bill Shine: It’s Not State-Run Media on Fox News, It’s Fox Run State at This West Wing

Baker: ‘He’s the latest person to graduate if you will from Fox to the White House’

EXCERPT:

WALLACE: “Peter, let me get you on the record with the other headline coming out of the White House today about Bill Shine joining the senior staff. I was told by a senior White House official that the President used him as peer. This title, deputy chief of staff, was given to him because the President views him, as Hans reported, as one of the key members of his team now. And that it is a job much bigger than the one I held. It is bigger than overseeing communications in press. It is to be one of the deciders, if you will, to recycle a Bush era term, and to help this president run the White House, run the government. We joked over the last few months that it’s not state-run media on Fox News, it’s Fox-run state at this West Wing. This certainly seems to be another proof point in that theory."
