Trump now turns against his staunchest ally – Fox News 

The Guardian reports that President Donald Trump has falsely accused Fox News of “tampering” with the US election, as his feud with the Rupert Murdoch-owned network escalates and his attempts to hang onto the White House become increasingly desperate.

Mr Trump said Fox’s pre-election projections “were so inaccurate” that they constituted “election interference”, before lashing out at other polling organisations and news outlets he claimed were “so far off” election results.

Right-wing outlet Fox News, which backed Mr Trump throughout his re-election campaign, projected Democrat nominee Joe Biden to win the battleground state of Wisconsin by 17 points.

Mr Biden carried the state by more than 20,000 votes, or 0.7 per cent, according to the Associated Press’s latest projection. Mr Trump won 48.9 per cent of ballots cast.

Mr Trump won 48.9 per cent of ballots cast, while Mr. Mr Trump continues to claim – without evidence – that he won the “rust belt” state, which turned blue for Mr Biden after flipping Republican red in 2016.
