So far, 19 individuals from Fox News, including hosts and producers, are slated to take roles that include overseeing various government agencies. This marks an unprecedented blending of media and government, raising questions about how Fox News will report on an administration made up of its former employees. This situation may lead to biased reporting favoring Trump as familiar faces in the news network will occupy significant political roles.
