Anyone wanting to know how a news organization gets into Trumps good graces should watch the interview the president conducted with Lou Dobbs of the Fox Business Network. Although the interview lasted a full 25 minutes, Dobbs failed to ask a single substantive question. Instead, the conversation was an exercise in flattery. And while that may have soothed the presidents ego, Dobbs failed to conduct the kind of intellectual stress test from which a skilled politician may emerge stronger, more certain of his or her agenda.
There was little stress on Wednesday night.
You have accomplished so much, Dobbs said at the opening of the interview.
.....
Trump indeed made clear his affection for the network. Your show is fantastic, Trump said, telling Dobbs that he watches his nightly program absolutely almost all the time.
Dobbs returned the compliment, calling Trump one of the most loved and respected presidents in history.

Even the Fox Poll this morning has him plummeting, especially with Independents.
