“Does the WH think this will chill Fox or more correctly give them a bigger audience? Dopes.”

Might give them a chance to claim all negative stories are retaliation for suing Fox News. Wonder if Fox has to disclose that it is being sued by the government everytime it reports on the DOJ or the administration?

There is an old adage in politics, “don’t pick a fight with a man that buys ink by the barrel.” I believe this adage to be true and prescient. Imagine what Fox can do with this situation? Where is the upside for the WH? This is a very silly and shortsighted move. But then again, we have a silly and shortsighted president. Also, a very vain and insecure president.
