Would Fox Take Donald Trump’s Side Against Rupert Murdoch? Uh ... Yes.

So which side will Fox take? One would think it would take the side, duh, of the man who owns it. But while Rupert may own it, he doesn’t run it. That dark duty is the province of Lachlan Murdoch and Suzanne Scott. And the question of where their loyalties lie might be a little more complicated than blood.

As it happens, earlier on the very day the Journal story broke, Representative Robert Garcia, the ranking Democrat on the House Oversight Committee, wrote Lachlan Murdoch and Scott a letter. He charged that back during the campaign, Fox & Friendshad selectively edited an interview Trump did with the show about Epstein. The original segment had Trump being asked if he would release the Epstein files as president and replying, “Yeah, yeah, I would.” The fuller answer, which Fox aired later after pressure, had Trump adding a caveat or two. Garcia told the two execs that he wanted any information on whether the Trump campaign “put pressure on Fox News to edit” the interview to “mislead the public.”

Garcia’s questions are similar to those the Trump campaign raised to 60 Minutes about a Kamala Harris interview last October. But while 60 Minutes’s parent company, Paramount, totally caved to Trump, it seems pretty unlikely Garcia is going to get any answers.
