Rupert Murdoch, who owns Fox News, has confided to those close to him that he believes President Donald Trump is bound to lose against Joe Biden. Business Insider reports that Fox News owner believes the president has utterly mismanaged the coronavirus crisis. Nevertheless, Murdoch's publications continue to consistently back Trump. The tabloid The New York Post last week published an attack piece on Joe Biden. At the start of Trump's White House bid, Murdoch publicly called him 'an embarrassment.' But as Trump's star rose, the network did an abrupt 180 and began to fawn, to the point that Fox TV pundit Sean Hannity became Trump's informal adviser. But privately, the media mogul is beginning to tire of Trump, who has phoned to complain about negative coverage of his administration on Fox News.
US President Donald Trump appears to be running out of lifelines to save himself politically. CNN reports Trump had hoped a range of pivotal events would turn the electoral tide in his direction, but they're vanishing as quickly as Halloween candy. A coronavirus vaccine hasn't been created. Nor has a massive stimulus package materialized. And the investigation into the Clinton Foundation was a bust. So the president has taken to dialing Fox hosts from the White House and ripping his senior-most Cabinet members for not delivering before election day. It's an unfamiliar experience for a man used to getting what he wants. He is in a completely different universe right now where nobody is left, really, to help him out of the jams he keeps getting himself into.

For years, President Donald Trump was a Fox News superfan, routinely phoning in to give impromptu interviews and receive gushing praise. But now, Business Insider reports Trump is waging war against the network. What's more, he's encouraging his supporters to migrate over to more MAGA-friendly channels like Newsmax and One America News Network. As it increasingly challenges Trump's baseless election fraud claims, Fox News is under a siege of its own making. With its recognition of Joe Biden as President-elect, Fox News' favorability ratings among Republicans fell by 13% following the election.

The tone on a panel for Fox Business Network show 'Outnumbered' took a decidedly harsh tone on Wednesday. According to Business Insider, some guests began trading memes and mocking banter about COVID-19 restrictions in some states. But then, former State Department spokeswoman and Democratic operative Marie Harf brought them up short. It's not a joke, first of all. A bunch of people are dying every day in this country from coronavirus. Marie Harf Former State Department spokeswoman Weekend 'Fox & Friends' co-host Pete Hegseth wasn't having it, calling social distancing restrictions 'absolute garbage.' When the rules are so ridiculous, they go out the window. People ignore them, as they should. Pete Hegseth Co-host, 'Fox & Friends' weekend edition
