Fox News, Other Murdoch Outlets Begin Diverging From Trump As Presidency Slips Away
Forbes ^ | 11/9/2020 | Joe Walsh

Posted on 11/11/2020 8:12:47 AM PST by marcusmaximus

Fox News interrupted White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany on Monday to fact-check her untrue voter fraud allegations, the latest instance of Fox and other members of Rupert Murdoch’s media empire — once key allies of President Donald Trump — pushing back on Trump’s baseless refusal to accept defeat and priming viewers for a post-Trump future.

After McEnany baselessly suggested in a press conference Monday afternoon that President-elect Joe Biden’s supporters are willfully engaging in voter fraud, anchor Neil Cavuto cut her off and said she has no evidence, saying, “I can’t in good countenance continue showing you this.”

In recent days, Fox’s news anchors and reporters have routinely acknowledged Biden’s status as president-elect and said Trump’s voter fraud claims lack evidence, though they have given Trump’s longshot legal battles more credence than most other news outlets.

Fox projected Biden as the winner of the race on Saturday along with every other major outlet, and it called Arizona for Biden on Tuesday night, which made Trump’s campaign furious and reportedly caused Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner to phone Murdoch and complain (the Associated Press says Arizona is too close to call).

I haven't scrolled through Forbes' articles, but surely, surely they were referring to the Russian collusion stories as "untrue," right?

“her untrue voter fraud allegations”

Really Forbes. I thought you were better than this. Careful, you will go the way of Fox if you keep this propaganda up.

Based on what I’m seeing, the presidency is NOT slipping away. In fact, all information I’m seeing (other than plain opinion) is that Trump has extremely solid standing in every single battleground state, and a lot of others if it were necessary.

Forbes used to be conservative. Did they get a new publisher or new editors? Is Steve Forbes still involved?

The desire for globalism/socialism and a weak America is beyond my comprehension. It has caused so much hate and irrationality in the left.

What makes the allegations untrue? Because Fox says so? I call BS. Anyone with half a brain knows the democrats always use voter fraud. That’s why they are so against voter ID laws.

I predict that Trump WILL win and then you’ll see the true face of democrats and leftists. There will be massive rioting and I pray that conservatives have the cajones to fight fire with fire. At this point I’m tired of the talk and talk and talk. Either put up or shut up.

Sez who?

News: Her voter fraud allegations

Opinion” Her untrue voter fraud allegations

Did she make the allegations? Yes. That means it is fact that she made them. Are they untrue? That is a matter of opinion. It’s not news.

Those words plus the absolute lack of energy from anyone in the mainstream media to actually look into this

It’s just further proof 100% of media bias

Seems like Fox News wants us to take the "Blue Pill" and go back into the Matrix.
We're only to believe what we are told to believe.
