President Trump’s influential supporter Rupert Murdoch is telling close associates he believes Joe Biden will win the election in a landslide.

The Australian-born billionaire is disgusted by Trump’s handling of COVID-19, remarking that the president is his own worst enemy, that he is not listening to advice about how best to handle the pandemic, and that he’s creating a never-ending crisis for his administration, according to three people who have spoken with Murdoch.

In response to an email inquiry for this report asking him if he believes Biden will win in a landslide and his thoughts on Trump’s handling of coronavirus, Murdoch responded, “No comment except I’ve never called Trump an idiot,” referring to a 2018 report that the media mogul called the president a “fucking idiot” following a chat about immigration.

While Murdoch believes the outcome of the election is a fait accompli, his New York tabloid has been doing everything in its power to help Trump’s re-election chances, publishing a screaming page 1 story on Wednesday under the headline, “Biden Secret E-Mails.” The supposed “smoking gun” emails purported to show that Hunter Biden had introduced his father to a Ukrainian businessman when he was vice president, though the Post relied on unverified documents given to them by Trump’s attorney Rudy Giuliani. (Biden’s team denies that such a meeting took place.)

1. Suppose he's put out the word for his lackeys to report that

6. Certainly no sign of it

If Murdoch were sincere about this and (definitely not something we can take for granted at all) had a shred of decency, he'd rein in Carlson and Hannity and Ingraham and the rest of the lackeys, but he clearly hasn't done so.

He's apparently ready to allow possible murderous chaos among the cult he's helped create, and happy to allow plenty of unnecessary COVID deaths between now and when Biden can take over.

2. If Murdoch wants him gone,

Trump is toast. Meanwhile, I wonder if Murdoch is doing anything behind the scenes to help it happen.

3. Whatever.

There’s always a motive for making statements like this...Dems need to vote like Biden is 10 points behind. GOTV.

4. If there was ONE single person

I want sentenced to the re-education camps... after his empire is totally dismantled... it's Rupert.

Too bad they won't come into being...

5. My guess is Fox gets better ratings during Democratic administrations.

They get more people tuning into Hannity, Carlson etc when they’re angry ranting about Obama, Biden, etc then when Trump is president.

Same reason Maddow’s ratings have been so strong since Trump took over. People tune in when they’re scared.
