FOX News owner Rupert Murdoch hosted Governor Ron DeSantis at his California Ranch in Bel Air in 2020. He told him FOX News would support his potential run for president in 2024.
Since then Murdoch and FOX Corp fired its top host Tucker Carlson who was a favorite of the Trump-MAGA crowd.
FOX News has since implemented a soft ban on President Trump.
The news channel is suffering from this new direction. FOX News has lost nearly half of its audience since firing Tucker Carlson.

The swamp is bigger than I imagined and they all fear Trump. One guy and they're all quaking in their boots.
They know the swamp can gobble DeSantis and not even burp.

It just gets worse and worse. Their ratings have dropped significantly. MSNBC scores higher at times. So just what is Fox bringing to the table for DeSantis? Not much, it appears.

The Murdochs and Ryan hate Trump with a purple rage, and will do ANYTHING to harm Trump.
DeSantis is making a serious mistake here.

I am really beginning to hate ALL media.
DeSantis is purported to be in bed with Fox.
Trump is said to have compliment Cuomo's Covid response over DeSantis'.
I have trouble believing either. Both these guys, if they want to drain the Swamp and save America better winnow their advisors of paid saboteurs, because they AREN'T being well advised based on the above statements.
Trump and DeSantis, if you're that stupid why should we vote for you? You can get swept up in the holocaust when patriots water the tree of liberty.
Every indication says that day is getting closer.

Murdock's and Fox's endorsement is the kiss of death for DeSantis. After the firing of Tucker, Fox news is worthless.

Key take away from the article: "According to Vanity Fair,..." So there is not actually a source for this claim.

Is there anymore proof that RdS is just another swamp creature that goes soft and gooey with attention? He is only being pushed because the other swamp creatures are terrified that President Donald John Trump will be re-elected again.

The only Trumpers are sounding more and more like 8th-grade girls. DeSantis is delivering on the conservative agenda in ways Trump never did or could. Just because Trump can't break above 50% doesn't mean DeSantis should reject support from a broader spectrum.

I have actually seen clips of Trump praising Cuomo, taking Disney’s side against DeSantis, and praising Newsom , saying Newsom was “nice to him”. He was sounding more like a democrat. I’ve read that DeSantis is in bed with the Bushes, but I haven’t seen him with them or talking to them. He may have been with Rupert, but I haven’t seen photos. Maybe they’ll show up in Vanity Fair.

Murdock has been saying for months he supports DeSantis….Fox’s call on election night before the polls closed showed they despise Trump! Firing Tucker also proved where Fox stands! I prefer Newsmax!

Fox News lost me years ago, except for Tucker.
Sadly, Mark Levin seems to be changing too.
Trusting President Trump to share now from CNN, to Fox, to anything but Twitter.

Ron “ I’ve never discussed with Karl Rove and haven’t talked to Paul Ryan in months......so how can you say I’m establishment “, this week’s lie.
Go back to 2000 when Bush 2 was rolled out with scant accomplishment and a Yale education as “ more Reagan than Reagan”. DeSAntis is Bush v5 ( Romney and Jeb!). Why would anyone give it back to the guys who sold America to Wall Street and China?

Any hit piece on DeSantis is gospel. Every hit piece on Trump is fake news. All hail Trump, pure as the wind driven snow. Any criticism will be labeled heresy, and you will be shouted down. Anyone supporting DeSantis is a rino, deserving of scorn and insults.
Prove me wrong....

The Trump haters - Rove and Ryan among the most noteworthy - would seem to be more interested in defeating Trump than they are in defeating the Socialists that threaten the Republic.

Eff Rupert and his money. In spite of being a top dog he has sold out to the One-Worlders. Fox is now enjoying the same treatment that we are giving Target and Bud Light, the treatment that provides ultimate shame, ignoring them. If Fox is hosting a Trump town hall it is a desperate attempt to improve their falling ratings. Hannity continues to be insufferable. DeSantis did a good job at the governor level but he is not presidential material - yet. He has made amateurish mistakes and accepted "help" from the wrong people. Trump made amateurish mistakes when he was an amateur and has learned much. He learned quickly not to trust the establishment before We the People learned not to trust them. He also brought America to the edge of greatness and will do it again. Don't make this election about personality, make it about saving America. MAGA

I wonder why DeSantis would waste his time going to Murdoch's place knowing he has gone over to the dark side, and I don't mean skin color. I mean evil.

Sadly, this is correct. If you dont know who is backing RDS, you arent paying attention. He has no money to speak of on his own, so of course he had to sell himself to the global interests if he wanted to continue against Trump. Follow the money and you know who owns him. Thats when I saw the strings. And as Sundance says on CTH, once you see the strings of the marionette, you cant unsee them.
ive watched the anti Trump trend in FNC since the 2020 election, if not even before. They showed their true colors during election night, and of course after Jan 6. This is no longer who do you "like" for President. This is our country falling apart in front of our eyes, and hoping someone can save us because they dont rock the boat or call people names, is delusional and naive.
Time to grow up and realize there isnt time for on the job training... or to trust that the money behind the man actually cares about you. They care about money. They will control RDS just as the current President is being controlled. Surely we've seen enough of the damage that has caused.

#9, exactly. Gateway Pundit and Vanity Fair, give me a break! Still looking for evidence that DeSantis is A Deep State troll or a RINO. His record and his positions do not support it.
I twice voted for Trump, but am agnostic( defined as I don’t know) about 2024. I’m listening and learning.

It's perfectly acceptable for a newspaper/media outlet to support candidates. What is not is to secretly behind the scenes to do so with the candidate. Once again DeSantis disappoints me with his backroom politics. I have admired his standing up for the citizens of his state against the left wing attempts to pervert the school system and its children. Having said that his gamesmanship with promising not to run for the presidency then almost immediately throwing that aside once he was elected, the reports that state officials were shaking down Lobbyists for financial support, not to mention changing Florida laws to allow him to run while in office for another office. All of these and his general attitude has put me right off.

Santimonious was chosen by the establishment because they figure that he will split the republicans and then take the White House again to complete their job of destroying America....BUT... they hadn't figured on the MAGA movement standing tall with our President Trump...WE will not desert him...no matter how many indictments they throw at him...and in the meantime...the jan6 hostages are still in deplorable conditions at the jail...with no end in sight because the jan6 committee is gonna slow walk this trial until the day before the 2024 election....

Well, Faux will support him until the General, when they will (perhaps subtly) shift their allegiance to whoever the Democrat Nominee is (unless by some miracle it is RFK Jr. ... they daren't support him since he is anti-Big Pharma, which pumps billion$ into Faux network advertising.)

Anyone taking the Trump / Desantis mudslinging at face value is seriously not paying attention. There are many ways of raising false flags. It all stinks of subtrifuge and manipulation.
