Fox News, Murdoch-Owned Papers Urge Trump to 'Leave Office With Dignity' (Defund Fox)
Newsweek ^ | 11/7/2020 | Benjamin Fearnow

Posted on 11/08/2020 12:08:29 PM PST by marcusmaximus

Fox News hosts and editorial boards at two of Rupert Murdoch's largest newspapers are demanding President Donald Trump either present evidence or immediately cease allegations of "voter fraud," urging him to "leave office with dignity" should he be unable to disprove his defeat.

Fox News host Laura Ingraham on Friday night prepared Trump supporter viewers to "accept an unfavorable outcome" of the president losing, hours before her network called the presidential election in favor of Democratic candidate Joe Biden. On Saturday, The Wall Street Journal and New York Post editorial boards, both owned by Murdoch's News Corp., published op-eds calling on Trump to immediately drop the baseless "stolen election" narrative he continues to tweet four days after Election Day. Just one month after the Post labeled Trump "an invincible hero," the paper's editors are now urging him to "wish Biden well" and concede instead of promoting "baseless conspiracies."

The WSJ board said Trump and his personal attorney Rudy Giuliani's generic "Philadelphia is historically corrupt" claims won't stand up in court

If you are still watching Faux News Prime Time(You should Stop Watching
Tucker, Hannity and Ingraham. You are only contributing to Faux viewership
Number and profits). Prime Time is Where Networks Make their money.
That is why it’s called Prime Time. Why support ANY show on Faux where
management and ownership HATES US.
It might just help Tucker and Hannity look for other Networks to work for
when their contracts are up.

Fox News has loathed it’s viewers for at least 5 years.

They banned the use of Seth Rich’s name - and that Murder has major problems.

If you watch FOX, you have no self-respect.

Great post, Grampa Dave. I hadn’t seen those particular Tweets. I think you should post Pres. Trump’s 11/07/20 statement every time you encounter the Eeyores who seem to revel in misesry and defeatism.

They are not wrong. The election may have been stole but so was Nixon’s in 1960. If you can’t prove the fraud in court, then it is just public relations.

If Trump wants to win, he needs to find evidence that will change the vote totals in PA, AZ, GA, WI, or MI right now.

We are talking tens of thousands of votes all having to be documented individually. Courts will look at ballots one by one. Historically, court cases only have changed the outcome by hundreds of votes not tens of thousands.

Trump’s only hope is if there was a major tabulation error like in that Michigan county that changed thousands of votes. He’s not going to win in court contesting tens of thousands of ballots.

They just don’t get it. They think it’s just Trump who’s not convinced China Joe the Ho won. Trump, and the states have a duty to ensure fair elections. I see Trump doing his job, that’s all.

He HAS found the evidence, troll nutz. Court cases are filed for the purpose of presenting evidence.

They’re dead to me. This is a subtle color revolution, and FOX-Disney are collaborators.

Kind of like Hillary and the DEMS did in 2016?

Levin and the other conservatives probably knew things were turning sour, so maybe that is why they created their own sites and FOX Nation.

The ONLY REASON I have cable is because of FOX.

I guess I can get rid of cable now.

Gutfeld, Maria, Lou Dobbs, Elizabeth McDonald, Jesse, Tucker, Sean, and Laura should all be flame-throwing conservatives on their next shows, tacitly daring Fox to suspend, or fire them.

All of those folks would easily find new homes at OAN or Newsmaxtv.com.

Fox is dead to me. I did DVR Mark Levin’s program for tonight, but have deleted the Fox News app, and it I’ll be sticking with Newsmax from now on.

Yep. They supposedly tried to mug him, then shot him, then didn’t take anything.

I’d rather watch MSNBC at this point.

FOX can compete with all the mainstream media now, if that's what they want. I'm on OAN and Newsmax now.

The problem is, if the good guys leave, there is a non-compete clause in their contracts that prevents them from working for another network for a period of time, such as six months. So they might want to see this thing through before taking their six-month vacation and moving on.

What?

The dumps of votes in the still of the night?

And there’s more

GMAFB

NO they don’t “have to be documented individually” You ever hear of statistical sampling? Expert witnesses? Eyewitnesses? Turning states evidence?

Where’d you get you law degree? Biden College?
