Before he was elected president in the 2016 election, Donald Trump had weekly platforms on CNBC’s Squawk Box and Fox News’ Fox & Friends, where he gave political commentary and pushed the birther conspiracy theory. Since he became president, Media Matters and other media organizations have documented thousands of his lies and attacks on the press. Most of his press conference questions and interview appearances are given to sympathetic conservative media organizations such as Fox News and the One America News Network, and he has demonstrated a symbiotic relationship with Fox in which he and the network feed off each other's comments.
