Watch President Trump repeat Fox News talking points (VIDEO at link, not embeddable here)
http://money.cnn.com/2018/04/22/media/president-trump-fox-news/index.htmlTrump's tendency to echo the network's shows was documented on Sunday's "Reliable Sources" on CNN.
Remarks Trump made last week -- railing against the Russia investigations and attacking his enemies -- were juxtaposed with previous clips of Fox personalities saying almost exactly the same things.
"Reliable" host Brian Stelter cited a recent remark by MSNBC host Nicolle Wallace, who brought up the assertion that Fox is "state-run TV."
"We should be staring more closely at the White House and saying 'Fox-run state,'" Wallace said.
This was also a topic of discussion on "Reliable Sources."
"Typically talking points in the past have gone from politicians to partisan media," said John Avlon, editor-in-chief of The Daily Beast. "It is an extraordinary two-way relationship, the likes of which we've never seen."
