The revolving door revolves some more today:

The “new” Fox was created by selling off the entertainment side of the company, and now consists of Fox News, the Fox broadcasting network, several local Fox stations and Fox Sports. Hicks will be in charge of communications for the whole company, the LA Times reports, but “It’s not immediately clear how much of a role Hicks, 29, will have at the New York-based Fox News, where communications has been run for several years by Irena Briganti.”

In the meantime, UN Ambassador Nikki Haley will be leaving her post at the end of the year. I wonder what her reward will be?

PLEASE—BEFORE YOU CLICK AWAY!

“Lying.” “Disgusting.” “Scum.” “Slime.” “Corrupt.” “Enemy of the people.” Donald Trump has always made clear what he thinks of journalists. And it’s plain now that his administration intends to do everything it can to stop journalists from reporting things it doesn’t like—which is most things that are true.

We’ll say it loud and clear: At Mother Jones, no one gets to tell us what to publish or not publish, because no one owns our fiercely independent newsroom. But that also means we need to directly raise the resources it takes to keep our journalism alive. There’s only one way for that to happen, and it’s readers like you stepping up. Please do your part and help us reach our $150,000 membership goal by May 31.
