Fox News is trying to tell President Trump through the TV that he lost

The Daily Beast

"President Donald Trump’s favorite network has spent the weekend trying to telegraph one simple message to him: The party’s over," reports The Daily Beast's Justin Baragona, adding: "While stridently pro-Trump outlets such as Newsmax TV—which is making a concerted effort to appeal to disgruntled MAGA supporters upset with Fox—refused to call the election for Biden while peddling Giuliani’s claims, Fox News hosts and commentators drove home the message on Saturday—perhaps in an attempt to reach one of their most loyal viewers—that the president’s lawsuits are futile as there is no evidence of massive election fraud. Moments after the network called the race—they waited until most other networks and outlets had announced their projections—Fox News anchor Chris Wallace noted on-air that the president was refusing to accept the results and would continue to move forward with the campaign’s legal and recount efforts. The veteran anchor, meanwhile, pointed out that this was ultimately a pointless endeavor." Wallace said: “Trump has every right to pursue legal challenges, other failing candidates have in the past. So far we didn’t see anything to rise to the level of serious fraud and certainly not a serious fraud that would change the results of elections.” Wallace also said that Trump’s position would become “increasingly untenable” over the coming days as prominent Republicans move on and plan for a post-Trump White House, adding that “you’re going to see more and more of that from Republican leaders in the Senate and the House and around the country.” ALSO: Fox News offered subdued coverage of Joe Biden's victory.
