A slap in the face from Fox News Murdoch for Trump

Court cov­er­age for Trump has long been blamed on Fox News. But yes­ter­day the sta­tion sur­pris­ing­ly announced Biden as the win­ner in Ari­zona. Trump then calls furi­ous Fox boss Mur­doch. The rela­tion­ship between the two has cooled off for a long time. Strange things seemed to be going on yes­ter­day on Fox News, actu­al­ly known as the US President’s “favorite sta­tion”. Ear­ly in the morn­ing Ger­man time it was said there: “For­mer astro­naut Mark Kel­ly beats Repub­li­can Sen­a­tor Martha McSal­ly in Ari­zona, pre­dicts Fox News.” While the media, often crit­i­cized by Don­ald Trump — CNN or MSNBC — still describe the state as unde­cid­ed, the mat­ter was clear to Fox News yes­ter­day morning.

And Fox News also cur­rent­ly sees the chal­lenger Joe Biden with a sig­nif­i­cant­ly more lead over Trump. At CNN, the Demo­c­ra­t­ic can­di­date is ahead with 253 to 213 vot­ers. At Fox News, Biden already has 264 votes for sure, Trump is there at 214. If Biden con­tin­ues to catch up, it could be the Trump-friend­ly broad­cast­er, of all peo­ple, who will be the first to announce the Democrat’s vic­to­ry. That may not fit the pic­ture that has solid­i­fied over Fox News over the past few years. Has the mood at the sta­tion towards Trump sud­den­ly changed — and that of all things with elec­tion report­ing? The pres­i­dent him­self appar­ent­ly had the same fear. Accord­ing to a report in Van­i­ty Fair mag­a­zine, short­ly after Fox News Ari­zona struck his com­peti­tor, Trump picked up the phone and called Rupert Mur­doch. The Aus­tralian-Amer­i­can media entre­pre­neur is the founder and head of Fox Cor­po­ra­tion. Accord­ing to the report, Trump yelled at the 89-year-old on the phone and demand­ed that Fox News reverse the deci­sion — in vain. Accord­ing to “Van­i­ty Fair” Mur­doch refused. But not only Trump and his team did the station’s actions cause angry reac­tions. The mag­a­zine reports that there has been trou­ble with­in the Fox edi­to­r­i­al team because of the Ari­zona report. A Fox employ­ee is quot­ed as say­ing that they have actu­al­ly “bent” in order to counter the impres­sion that they are on the side of Trump when report­ing the elec­tion. Now, accord­ing to the sta­tion, sev­er­al Repub­li­cans are accus­ing “Van­i­ty Fair” of hav­ing set the nar­ra­tive that Biden wins. “Fox News mis­rep­re­sent­ed its report­ing and sup­pressed votes yes­ter­day,” for­mer Trump advis­er Sam Nun­berg told the magazine.
