NEW: Emails we uncovered show Trump administration officials revising Fox News tweets and Fox News rewriting stories to suit the administration’s whims. That isn’t journalism, it’s propaganda.

A trove of Treasury Department emails released to the non-profit organization Democracy Forward and provided exclusively to The Hollywood Reporter this week paint a picture of a close, friendly bond between the Trump administration agency and two news organizations, Fox News Channel and Fox Business Network.

...

On April. 25, 2017, Fox Business Network host David Asman appeared to advise then-Treasury Department spokesman Tony Sayegh (a former Fox News contributor) on how the administration should pursue a key policy goal: achieving a major tax cut. After sharing a quote from Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin, Asman wrote in the email, "Take the BIG TAX CUTS NOW ... a long-term deal with small cuts is useless. NOTHING IS PERMANENT IN WASHINGTON. Big tax cuts now give the economy the push it needs."

After Sayegh thanked Asman for "these thoughts," the Fox Business host congratulated him on his recent Trump administration appointment. "How exciting!" he wrote. "This is a great chapter of your life, Tony. Congrats!" ("Thanks David!" Sayegh responded. "Miss all of you up there.&quot

Four days later, Asman wrote to Sayegh to tell him that a significant block of a Fox Business show would focus on the administration's tax policies. "You'll like it," Asman told him. "Awesome David," Sayegh wrote back. "You're the man."

1. OFGS..........really??

I’m sure that’s why they’re “off the air” so to speak.

[Farmer-Rick]

2. So, now can we stop calling Fox a news organization? N/T

3. K&R, this is the reason why we had the fairness doctrine !!! So a media outlet WILL NOT BE a whole

... owned by a political party.

[GulfCoast66]

14. The fairness doctrine would not apply to Fox.

They are not broadcast over the public airwaves.

Limbaugh is an entirely different matter.

4. Fox doesn't really pretend anymore.

Sure, they have some hard news during the day, but one only has to listen to Hannity or Ingraham for 15 minutes to realize they answer directly to the White House.

They aren't "pro-Trump" voices, they are the voice of Trump.

10. Or, vice versa...
