AP Fox Corp has hired a former aide to President Donald Trump to lead a covert team of conservatives with the mission of discrediting Fox's critics, The New York Times reported. The company hired Raj Shah, a former deputy White House press secretary, last year as a senior vice president. Since then, Shah has hired at least two former conservative media reporters to help him attempt to discredit Fox's critics, including the left-leaning groups Media Matters and Sleeping Giants.
