    They did, but from what I understand, Trump watches Fox primarily.

    Maybe your understanding is inaccurate? I have a favorite news anaysis / opinion show, but I watch others. I'm sure others do too. Maybe not people like you who just want the echo chamber effect, but......

    It may be innacurate. However Trump does mention and praise the network and not others.

    I don't want an echo chamber, nor do I reside in one.

    He only watches it extensively because he has control of it. So instead of them having something on him, he has something on them.
    Perhaps Murdoch doesn't pay his taxes.

    Lol......

    If Murdoch has been failing to pay his taxes, what did he have on Obama for his two terms?

    I doubt that. I think Trump just likes the stories.
