We know for a fact that Murdoch has been a friend of Hillary for years. But, Trump was the ideal candidate of all the Republican candidate of all of them for the "Murdoch style"media. Murdoh/Fox News/NYPost was always about sensationalism, big headlines/drama. Not so much on the other stuff.
Well, we will have to disagree more...
I watched daily in early 2016...Fox clearly began promoting Rubio...then Trump took him down. They then promoted Cruz, and then Trump took him down. At the time, I remember thinking it was as if a memo had gone out to Fox staff to promote anyone but Trump...sort of jibes with the article.
During that time period, many here were commenting on how even MSNBC and CNN were presenting less biased news coverage than Fox.
During this same time period, Trump even skipped the Fox News Presidential candidate debate in Iowa—so much for portraying an image with Fox. Here is an article to jog your memory:

There were articles about Fox staff having relatives on Rubio campaign...Here is one written in the time period this was happening....
Frankly, I was very disappointed with much of the coverage on Fox with the exception of Hannity, Gretta and Judge Jeanine. O’Reilly was not dependably supporting Trump, Kelly was constantly attacking him, and Brett Baier often reported stories in the most unflattering view of Trump possible.
During election night, you could see Kelly tearing up visibly upset that Trump had won...
So, yeah, I could not disagree more.
