One of the most important fights over the impeachment inquiry of President Trump is playing out on the airwaves of Fox News.
Back in 1996, Fox had to pay cable providers to carry it, and the channel’s old-timers enjoy telling the story of that scrappy start. The company served up free Pinkberry frozen yogurt to mark the channel’s 23rd anniversary, a modest celebration for the most powerful political media juggernaut in the country. Fox News CEO Suzanne Scott and President Jay Wallace retold the origin story in a staff memo circulated Monday to note the occasion.
Relishing triumph over doubters is something Trump also enjoys. The channel and the president share another passion: love of a good fight.
