Murdoch Was Allegedly Adamant Republicans Could Not Lose Sen. Graham
The Fox News head was so involved in Republican politics he instructed top company execs and one of its most popular talk show hosts to say nice things about at least one GOP candidate who was up for reelection.
The summary judgment motion mentions that in October, 2020, when Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham was running for his seat, he told Fox CEO Scott “You probably know about the Lou Dobbs outburst against Lindsey Graham. Could Sean [Hannity] say something supportive?”
As if to make his connection to Republicans even more explicit, he reportedly told Scott “We cannot lose the Senate if at all possible.” Scott then responded she had “addressed the Dobbs Outburst.”
