Ex-Trump White House Press Secretary Makes Revealing Claim On Work With Fox News

Stephanie Grisham, an ex-White House press secretary and communications director in former President Donald Trump’s administration, dished about her administration’s “very cozy” working relationship with Fox News on Saturday.

Grisham, during an interview with CNN’s Jim Acosta, weighed in on the news outlet following startling revelations about network stars seen in documents from the Dominion Voting Systems’ $1.6 billion defamation lawsuit.

The former press secretary, after Acosta remarked about a perceived “hand in glove” working relationship between the two parties, said Fox News stars such as Judge Jeanine Pirro, Sean Hannity and Tucker Carlson would call her at the White House.

“If I didn’t get back to them right away, they would then call the president and then I would get a talking to for not speaking with them,” Grisham said.

And after the DOJ files indictments, it might have enough evidence to charge Fox agents with

Conspiracy to Make a False Statement (18 U.S.C. §§ 371, 1001)
"Incite," "Assist" or "Aid and Comfort" an Insurrection (18 U.S.C. § 2383)

or at least file with the FCC to have its cable channel licensing revoked.

an exploiter of that; and it's not special to the U.S. or capitalism but is every f'n where.
We here just take special insult that we have to put up with it, but that's the downside of freedom of speech -- the irresponsible use of that freedom. Makin' shit up is irresponsible. When it's for profit it's fraud.

I hate that abuses of freedom make people distrust the value of democracy as a bulwark of human advancement; we're just gonna have to try harder to strengthen people's courage toward honesty and openness to new information.
