A television station that during Trump’s four years as President of the United States had been exceptionally loyal to him.
And made a lot of money on it too.
But perhaps old Rupert Murdoch, who owns Fox News, had previously smelled that Trump would lose.
According to the Irish Times, Trump even called Murdoch and asked him to cancel the declaration of Arizona victory for Biden.
But Australian Murdoch was not to be shaken. Arizona went to Biden and it turned out to be true.
Rupert Murdoch has extensive experience in holding the right horse.
On March 11, he turns 90, so he has been in the business for a long time, without being overwhelmed by demands, scandals and headwinds.
He has become rich in choosing right and also looked at sports, scandals and undressed women.
It’s the recipe for a successful tabloid newspaper, and newspapers are something that has interested Murdoch every day.
Already in school, he was co-editor of both the school’s and the students’ newspaper.
As a mere 21-year-old, he took over two ailing Australian newspapers from his recently deceased father.
Murdoch turned the family business News Limited into a huge, commercial success.
He began buying other newspapers – first in Australia, but later in the United Kingdom and the United States.
In particular, the British tabloid newspaper The Sun flourished when Murdoch took over.
And readers flocked in from all over the world.
In 2000, Murdoch owned over 800 companies in more than 50 countries worth over $ 5 billion.
But a man like Murdoch does not go through life without scandals.
The first major scandal in his own ranks arose when he moved traditional media production away from Fleet Street in London and fired 6,000 employees.
But what really ruined Murdoch’s reputation in England was the 2011 hacking scandal.
It was revealed that the family newspapers had been tapping the phones of both celebrities and strangers for years.
Both Rupert Murdoch and his son James Murdoch, who had the chance to stop the interceptions but did not, came under fire.
Following the hacking scandal, Murdoch withdrew from the UK market and then ventured into the United States, where he owns 20th Century Fox and Fox News, among others.
Rupert Murdoch has been married four times and has six children.
He can even supply fabric for the tabloid slits. A few days before his 85th birthday, Murdoch said yes to his fourth wife, Jerry Hall.
She has four children from her previous relationship with Mick Jagger, who is lead singer of the Rolling Stones.
