Fox News, owned by Murdoch's Fox Corp., has acknowledged Biden is the president-elect despite its prime-time hosts' defense of Trump's refusal to concede. And at the Post itself, top Murdoch lieutenant Col Allan confirmed he will retire from the paper in 2021. Last summer, for example, CNN reported that Allan ordered the removal of a story on a Trump sexual assault allegation. The Post criticized Trump for undermining the election results long after his legal team found nothing to substantiate widespread election fraud that would have tipped the scales in Biden's favor. The newspaper called Trump election lawyer Sidney Powell "crazy," and it also said pardoned former Trump NSA director Michael Flynn was treasonous for his suggestion that Trump impose martial law.
