He's good at spinning the bias in his media as "shaping politics", because it keeps politicians sucking up to him, but when the order of events is examined, it's usually him deciding he's got no choice but to move.

I think Fox will stay quiet for a few weeks, and watch the polls. If there's a decisive drop in Republican trust on Trump on foreign affairs that looks like it will last to November and deliver a Democratic House or Senate majority, then Murdoch will turn Fox.
