On the eve of the American election, polls say Harris and Trump are neck and neck. Of course, Donald Trump says that’s not true.It’s nothing new for the former president to deny facts. What is new is the way America’s biggest cable news network is handling it: Fox News has started cutting away from rallies when Trump lies.The network’s support of the big lie – that the 2020 election was stolen from Trump, led to a defamation lawsuit that cost hundreds of millions of dollars to settle. And now the Murdoch broadcaster is in a tricky spot: tell MAGA supporters what they want to hear, even if it isn’t true, or risk losing a huge audience. So what does Fox do if Trump loses this election, and refuses to admit it?Today, author of The Successor and host of Rupert: The last mogul Paddy Manning on Fox’s role in the US election and how the Murdochs’ secret court case could shape the future of democracy.Socials: Stay in touch with us on Twitter and InstagramGuest: Author of The Successor and host of Rupert: The last mogul Paddy ManningSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
