A prominent Donald Trump booster who’s repped the president in numerous appearances on Fox Business Network is also a paid consultant of Trump’s 2020 reelection campaign, the Washington Post reports.

Mark Serrano, a fierce defender of the president’s agenda, is described as a “Republican strategist” on Fox Business chyron. But he also received $30,000 from Trump’s reelection campaign for “communications consulting,” federal disclosure forms reveal.

According to the Post, the network failed to disclose Serrano’s connections to the campaign, a deviation from Fox Business’ standard operating procedure. A person familiar with the network told the Post Seranno will not appear on Fox programs “for the foreseeable future”

“It is the policy of the network to disclose all ties our guests have to any subject matter, and in the case of Mark Serrano, as soon as we were made aware of his new title last month, we made sure to disclose his role during his on-air appearances,” Fox Business said in a statement.

because they do it all the time. Remember that the very first FAIL of this republican Congress was their January, 2017 effort to kill all ethical requirements.

republicans piss on ethics, and kowtow to their ignoble family-values role model, Comrade Casino, the pitiful, chickenhawk republican Draft-Dodger-in-Chief.

Those days were very ugly, as press briefings go, weren't they? So creepy.

Of course, our own fawning media did its best to avoid asking any serious questions of Ari, too. They didn't need too much to be steered away from penetrating questions and follow-ups, as they were too busy sucking up, having pandered to Dubya throughout the campaigns.

It just isn't done!

Bush (or rather, Rove) was smart to ditch him just before the '04 election season got rolling. Fleischer was about as charming as a warthog with rabies - and his Jewish background certainly wasn't helping Bush with his base.
