Bob Costa: Trump’s ‘Aides Say He’s Drifted Away from Fox News Ever Since Roger Ailes Passed Away’

EXCERPT:

COSTA: "When you talk to people close to President Trump, they say the one show he watches on Fox News and Fox Business Network for the entire hour, it's Lou Dobbs’ program on Fox Business. I spoke to President Trump about this in an interview a couple of months ago and Lou Dobbs is his spirit guide politically on immigration, on nativism, on populism. And this is really his main go-to person. For the rest of Fox News, he watches it as he just monitors news coverage generally. Really, his aides say he’s drifted away from Fox News ever since Roger Ailes passed away, that he believes it doesn’t have a political center the way it did when Roger Ailes was running the network, someone who was driving the whole spirit of the network. He’s still close to Sean Hannity, one of the evening anchors, but it’s mostly on the weekends, they say, when he’s watching news coverage, not editorial coverage on Fox News that irritates him."
