Stelter: Rupert Murdoch Has Resigned that Trump Would Be the Nominee

EXCERPT:

STELTER: "Rupert simply was not impressed by Trump during the presidency, during those four years when Trump was in the White House. They were in touch a lot in the beginning, and by 2020 the two men barely spoke, they only had two phone calls, and they have not spoken since. So, Rupert has given up on Trump. He doesn’t want to see him back in the White House. As a source said to me for 'Network of Lies,' Rupert hates Trump but he is resigned to Trump being the nominee again. In other words, Rupert doesn’t think he has that much power anymore. Yes, he flirted with Ron DeSantis and talked to Glenn Youngkin, but Rupert has resigned to Trump being the nominee and that speaks volumes about how much he has lost control of the thing he created. You know, Fox News is still the beating heart of the GOP, but it’s having to follow Trump around and take orders from Trump, essentially."
