Former Speaker Newt Gingrich (R-Ga.), a staunch supporter of President Trump, says the best way to communicate with the president is through two Fox News shows.
Occasionally, wed talk on Seans show knowing Trump was watching, Gingrich told The New York Times, referring to Sean Hannity's evening show. The two most effective ways of communicating with Trump are Fox & Friends and Hannity, Gingrich added.
Trump this year has repeatedly praised Fox & Friends, which recently announced that it would expand its weekday programming to five hours.
Gingrich in his interview with the Times praised Hannitys show as a successful way to communicate with Americans.

It would be dangerous, but then again, as Ailes and Murdoch have shown time and again, words have power over the weak-minded, and someone sneaking a modicum of decency and political neutrality into the mush that spews from the "attractive" talking heads might help to be able to contain some of the dumpster fire that is destroying our nation.
I don't think that Gingrich realizes that decades of "confidently" turning citizens into sullen drones dependent on a single information source for their "thought processes" actually threatens control of those same drones.
They can just as easily be hijacked and re-programmed or even de-programmed.
Just saying.
