They were friends and companions, but now they no longer join. What’s going on between media mogul Rupert Murdoch and Donald Trump?
northDefeat makes you feel lonely. President Donald Trump can no longer trust his loyal companions in his retreat battles: The media empire of Rupert Murdoch, 89, is leaving. From Trump’s perspective, Fox News and the “New York Post” tabloid cannot be trusted. The profound turning point has recently made headlines: The “New York Post” newspaper titled its Nov. 5 report on a president’s press conference with the words: “Defeated Trump Makes Pointless Accusations of Election Fraud.” That was bad.
Trump and his campaign team were hit by the early announcement by Fox News that Trump’s Democratic adversary Joe Biden had won the highly competitive state of Arizona according to their projections. It must have seemed like a betrayal. Because for Trump, notoriously biased outlets like the “New York Times” or CNN had not yet granted status to Democrats on Friday.
