And they probably stiffed the landscaping company and left a mess in the parking lot.
That's okay. It looks like they have plenty of money

None of those companies are the right one though. If you filter by state, there's no listings for Pennsylvania.

I was hoping it was since all the contributions, on the 1st page at least, were to the Biden campaign. ;)

So is Murdoch starting to distance himself from Trump? Maybe he's decided Donald's a "loser"? Or maybe he's just worried that if Trumpist populism gets out-of-hand the resultant disorder might be bad for profits?


Don't know if it goes all the way to the top, but I can imagine Fox management not wanting to mess with an unsubstantiated claim that will almost certainly backfire. The consequences of being wrong on such a fundamental level likely aren't worth carrying water for Trump, especially when he's already losing interest in the network.

Its a dual personality world at Fox now. For the most part the actual journalistic (I know hard to apply to Fox) side is reporting pretty straight until, they interview some nut on the right. Then it just goes straight downhill during Ingraham's, Tucker's, and Hannity's shows.

It's also important to stress that Fox puts most of its emphasis on op-ed hosts like Hannity. Not that CNN or MSNBC doesn't hype up their op-eds, but Fox makes it pretty clear the actual news (as highly spun as it is) is almost incidental.

Fox News, as they said, is an entertainment company. So it is not different from other comedy shows.

The rats are looking for a way off the sinking ship.
