“Fox [News] has been so aligned with Trump, really, that you can see that it is almost an arm of the West Wing,” Mayer told CNN on Tuesday morning.
After writing a bombshell report on the relationship between Fox News and Donald Trump, The New Yorker’s Jane Mayer said that the news network is almost operating as a “propaganda organization” for the president.The interview came just a day after Mayer published a story detailing the relationship between the news network and the president, in which she reports that Fox News killed negative stories about Trump before the 2016 election.
According to Mayer’s report, an editor at Fox News killed the story because Rupert Murdoch, the media mogul who created Fox News, wanted Trump to defeat Hillary Clinton and become president.

Mayer told CNN that after the Journal published its story the Fox News reporter “tried again to get it in print and they again killed it.”
