Fox News Contributor Newt Gingrich: 'Fox is Relatively Obedient' to Trump

by Ken Meyer | 12:06 pm, June 5th, 2018

During Newt Gingrich‘s appearance today on The View, the former House Speaker more or less conceded that Fox News marches to the beat of President Trump‘s drum.

As part of an appearance to promote his newest book, the former House Speaker (and current Fox News contributor) was challenged by the ladies about Trump’s tendency to attack the media while lying on a regular basis. Gingrich defended the president by recycling Kellyanne Conway‘s line about “alternative facts,” while saying that POTUS doesn’t have to be “obedient” to the press just because of First Amendment freedoms.

“Fox is obedient to him though,” Joy Behar said.

“Fox is relatively obedient,” Gingrich responded — laughing after Behar called the network “state-run.”

Interesting insight, Mr. Speaker.

17 Democrats on Muellers team BS
The one person investigating who got pushed back by the 9 suprpeme court judges????
Newt complaining about the cost of Muellers investigation no one brought up whitewater or Beneghazi. No indictments in either and they both cost a lot more.

I was real disappointed by the ladies on the view. I was shouting at my TV for one of them to speak up. My husband loves watching the View with me when’s he homes. I will watch this with him again tonight and see if he starts screaming like I did at the TV.

Benghazi $20.5+

Whitewater and BJ gate $80 billion+

And don’t get me started on Hillary faux email story. No indictments no wrongdoing proved.

Every time I see Newt I want to slap the smile off his priggish face!
