AllSides Media Bias Rating: Center
Rex Tillerson, chosen today by President-elect Donald Trump to be secretary of State, is just what our country needs. I have personally seen Tillerson in action for nearly 30 years. As the chief executive of ExxonMobil, he is a strong leader with a track record of being tough in deals with Russia and getting results. This is what our country needs now more than ever.
