Fox News is encouraging Trump by disguising his racism as a shrewd political strategy about electoral trends and government waste.

First Trump lied about the crime statistics in Rep. Cummings district:
Fox News unquestioningly repeated the lie:
Pete Hegseth, who has been desperately trying to get Trump to hire him, said, “The president this morning pointed out the predictable cycle, so here goes Al Sharpton heading to the scene to agitate on what he will deem to be racial issues whereas the president is pointing out, it’s Democrats and liberal policies over the decades. The federal funding that’s been squandered in Baltimore, ultimately not making the lives of those citizens better. Does it really make it better to go agitate? I think that’s the question that the president is really asking.”
Everything that Fox News and Trump said about Rep. Cummings’ District Was A Lie
As Nate Silver pointed out on Twitter:
Rep. Cummings’ district is not ravaged by crime. Trump and Fox News are attaching racist stereotypes a majority African-American congressional district. Fox News is enabling and encouraging the President Of The United States to carry out these racist attacks. When it is said that Trump will do anything to win, this is what is being referred to. Fox and Trump have created a false reality that they are pushing to Republicans.
The free press is supposed to check power, but in the case of Fox News and Trump, the “press” is the destructive battery that is powering a racist president.
