Porrtland Press Herald - In the weeks after the November 2020 election, Rupert Murdoch, the powerful chairman of Fox Corp., fretted that Donald Trump, the president he had supported, was going “increasingly mad.” He vented about the pollsters who worked for him at Fox News. “I hate our Decision Desk people!” he wrote in one email as the network – driven by analysis from the unit – prepared to declare that Joe Biden had won the election.He worried that some ideas proposed by Trump’s allies to convince state legislatures to reject Biden victories in key swing states “sound ridiculous” and could lead to “riots like never before.” Murdoch’s astonishingly candid assessments are found in thousands of pages of internal Fox documents, as well as text messages and emails exchanged between the network’s top executives and news hosts, made public on Tuesday as part of a defamation lawsuit filed by Dominion Voting Systems against Fox.
