I bet this comes as a shocker...

"You're the Man": Fox News Emails With Trump Treasury Department Reveal Coziness

"The first two blocks are on the tax plan. You'll like it," Fox Business host David Asman told a Treasury aide.

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."

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." Around the same time, Fox News Radio White House correspondent Jon Decker sent Sayegh a friendly email to propose a meeting and invite him to a party at the Carnegie Library as his guest. "I've seen you more often in one week — than I saw you all last year!" he wrote. "I was hoping to meet up with you as soon as you are available. I have a favor to ask of you." (Sayegh could not make the party. "What is it all about," he wrote back.)

Adam Shapiro, who worked at the time as a Fox Business Network correspondent (he left to join Yahoo Finance as an anchor), also wrote glowingly to Sayegh after meeting him in person and said he would play down an earlier estimate by Mnuchin of when a tax reform bill would be passed. "Tony, thanks for making time for me yesterday," he wrote in April 2017. "I candidly shared with my producer the need to be fair and not batter Secretary Mnuchin with the old soundbite about the August TAX reform goal. It's old news. Never hesitate to contact me if my team gets anything wrong or is unfair." In November 2017, a senior Fox News booker emailed Sayegh and requested a tour of the Treasury department for his colleague (and guests) — "not a big tour needed, but hopefully be able to see the good stuff ."

A few months earlier, in March 2017, Sayegh and Treasury aide Jason Chung intervened to seek changes to a Fox Business network article that was written based on an interview Sayegh gave to host Maria Bartiromo. Chung asked the author of the article to make several changes — including to the headline — and asked, "Can you send out an amended tweet from the @FoxBusiness account?" The reporter agreed, writing, "Jason, I just did exactly what you asked me to do." Seth Unger, still the deputy assistant secretary for public affairs at Treasury, also asked a Fox News producer to change a network promo and online news story to refer to the secretary as "Steven" Mnuchin, not "Steve" Mnuchin. "I'm sure it will be an ongoing struggle," Unger wrote. The Steven/Steve issue was not quickly resolved — in January 2018, a Treasure aide bugged the network again in a email with a subject line "Chyron."

Nate gets nasty.

He sounds like a jilted Woj .

Upshot isn’t bad, but I haven’t read either that or 538 since the 2016 fiasco

still is.

the then-startup business network, cnbc, took a chance on her giving her an anchor job.
she helped to built up the cnbc business from its infancy to be the leading business network globally.
a true conservative at heart, she opted to accept fox news offer to improve its struggling fox business network.
her current slot is the #1 rated business program, beating her former colleagues at cnbc.
she has helped fox business to recruit several of her former cnbc colleagues

but her politics sucks
