Spend a couple hours with Fox News on a typical weeknight, and you may come to see the potential election of Joe Biden as a cataclysm in the making.
Prime-time host Laura Ingraham recently warned her viewers of the Bolsheviks and billionaires she said were propelling his candidacy. Frequent contributor Dan Bongino called Bidens campaign the biggest con job in presidential election history. Just last week, Sean Hannity sent a camera crew to stake out Bidens house to demand answers about the alleged contents of his sons laptop. Even the networks senior political analyst, Brit Hume, has repeatedly called the Democratic presidential candidate senile on air.
But behind the scenes, a strange calm prevails. The man who helped create Fox News as the most influential platform for conservative politics in America fully expects that Biden will win and frankly isnt too bothered by that.
Rupert Murdoch, the 89-year-old billionaire whose family controls Fox Newss parent company, has told associates that he is resigned to a Trump loss in November. And he has complained that the presidents current low polling numbers are due to repeated unforced errors that could have been avoided if he had followed Murdochs advice about how to weather the coronavirus pandemic, according to associates who spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe private conversations.
