FOX NEWS wants Biden to win...

They've been losing market share to OAN and NEWSMAX as Trump publicly whines that they're not on "his" side. Having Biden as President gives them a new target to focus on as the "voice of conservatism"

2. Opposing media organizations always do better when someone from the other side is president.

I have no doubt MSNBC's ratings are dramatically higher over the last 4 years with Trump as president than if Hillary was. And I'm sure Hannity/Carlson's ratings will be significantly higher during 4 years of a Biden administration than if Trump was here another 4 years.

I've subscribed to The Nation, Time, The Washington Post and the NYT. It's been a good run.

but I did not like them when Obama was POTUS.

They will start on Joe Biden too.

4. Trump has been their useful idiot. Two SCOTUS picks, and Senate secured.

They don't give two shits about him anymore and never actually did. If only CNN and other networks didn't give Trump the credibility they did back in 2016 we wouldn't even be here.

9. Doh, you're right. Forgot about Neil Gorsuch.

I didn't find Neil Gorsuch to be as reprehensible as Kav and Amy tho.

(Obama wanted Garland which was a Gorsuch-lite.)

and now they've pretty much had enough of him. He has become more of a liability than an asset. I think even Putin is done with Trump. In the near future, Donald J. Trump will probably be the most alone and abandoned man on the planet.

10. not so much to appease trump as to not be the deciding state.....

I don't think any state that's in the crosshairs now wants to be the one that pushes biiden over the finish line.

They would much rather it be another state and then they can quietly post numbers and slink away.

You know trump is going to brutally attack whatever state makes the deciding announcement.

15. I bet they wanted Trump to win until he started dissing them.

Murdoch's ego probably rivals Trump's, but Murdoch has a media empire, and Trump only has the chance to hurl insults at rallies and press conferences. Not exactly what you call an even battle.
