Rupert Murdoch-owned US outlets turn on Trump, urging him to act with 'grace'

[Klaralven]

Multiple Rupert Murdoch-owned conservative media outlets in the United States have shifted their messaging in a seeming effort to warn readers and viewers that Donald Trump may well have lost the presidential election.

The new messaging appears to be closely coordinated, and it includes an appeal to Trump to preserve his “legacy” by showing grace in defeat. The message is being carried on Fox News and in the Wall Street Journal and the New York Post – all outlets avidly consumed by Trump himself, especially Fox.

One Fox News host, Laura Ingraham, an intimate of the president ever since she spoke at the 2016 Republican national convention, made an astounding statement that seemed directed at Trump personally, advising him to accept defeat “if and when that does happen” with “grace and composure” and appealing to his sense of his own legacy.

Ingraham said in part: “If and when it’s time to accept an unfavourable outcome in this election, and we hope it never comes, but if and when that does happen, president Trump needs to do it with the same grace and composure he demonstrated at that town hall with Savannah Guthrie. So many people remarked about his tone and presence. Exactly what he needs.

3. She wrapped her "suggestion" in a lot of ass kissing

If you want Trump to admit defeat, you have to space it out and wrap it in lots of ass kissing.

4. The townhall with Savannah Gurthrie?

She sure has a low bar for "grace and composure."

[Cirque du So-What]

5. Quiet dignity and grace

[North Shore Chicago]

6. There is no "grace and composure"

within 10 light years of this person. Never going to happen.

[The Genealogist]

7. Showing grace in any situation would BUCK Trump's legacy

His legacy is grifting, cheating, law-breaking and airing grievances. When has he EVER acted with anything like grace?

8. The tricky part is giving him enough medication to make the announcement but not

so much that he falls over or drops his glass of water.

9. OH, that "legacy" of hate, fear, destruction, and murder.

Is that even worth preserving?

The messaging here is so bizarre; but maybe that's the'
way Trump actually thinks, who knows...

13. After enabling that monster the last 4 years?

I hope he takes FOX down with him in his ugly wretched final tantrum

14. Too late.
