Julia Ioffe: Fox News Is ‘Dear Leader State Run TV’

RUSH EXCERPT:

STELTER: "Let’s get analysis now from Elaina Plott, David Zurawik and Julia. Julia, you have studied Russia. Does the way Trump views Fox remind you of how other leaders view their state run television networks?"
IOFFE: "Absolutely. The only difference is that on you their authoritarian leaders are more subtle. They will just quietly fire but it is all the stuff that you mentioned, all 9 rotating door between the Trump Administration and Fox News. You know, he would be forgiven for thinking that it is part of the White House and it is not running the way he wants it to."
