Fox News may stop being Trump's personal propaganda network -- and Hannity is freaking out: report

Fox News has faced criticism for acting as a full-blown propaganda network for President Donald Trump for the first two years of his presidency, but a revolt within the network's news department is reportedly spurring talk of change.

Vanity Fair's Gabriel Sherman reports that Lachlan Murdoch, the son of Fox-owning media mogul Rupert Murdoch, is not a big Trump fan and is wary of having his network seen as the president's personal Soviet-style Pravda.

Although the editorial changes that Murdoch is considering making aren't expected to be too drastic -- the network will continue to be a right-wing news network -- they're reportedly still enough to scare Fox News host Sean Hannity into believing it will hurt Trump politically.

"Hannity told Trump last year that the Murdochs hate Trump, and Hannity is the only one holding Fox together," one source tells Sherman.

Additionally, some sources within Fox believe that the Murdochs will try to create some distance between Fox News and the president as part of a larger strategy to sell the network off to another buyer.

"Everyone thinks they’re going to sell it," one Fox News anchor tells Sherman. "It’s too small to be independent."
