- Trump lashed out at Fox News on election night, attacking the network’s personalities, polling and coverage as voters awaited midterm election results.
- Rupert Murdoch repeatedly dined with Trump, who had also hired talent from Fox News, establishing the close personal and professional ties framing the president’s election-night criticism.
Why it matters: For Fox News and Rupert Murdoch, the direct consequence is that the network’s personalities, polling and election coverage became targets of an election-night attack from a president who had repeatedly dined with Murdoch and hired from Fox. Those repeated ties make the clash materially different from an ordinary criticism of coverage.
