I genuinely wonder if he is a sociopath. What an utterly despicable person.

I am no fan of FoxNews. But the election coverage was top notch that night and called the election in line with the rest of the media.
The problem is how they blur news with opinion. Yes, they reported the election results accurately that one night. It's the weeks and months that followed, where they broadcast false claims of a dirty election, that's got Dominion's dander up.
Canadian Here, but it looks like Murdoch, and especially Tucker/Hannity etc. knew what they were saying was BS, but said it anyways because after gas-lighting their viewers for years about non-existent vote fraud, if they told the truth their viewers would switch to some other station - OAN or whatever.

How can they care so little about their country? Especially for a person they hate?

Love of money is the only way I can rationalize it. Which I don't even comprehend with somebody like Murdoch -- he's one of the wealthiest and most influential people in the world; how could he stoop to being led by the nose by a loser like trump? But the US really isn't "his" country in any meaningful sense. He's a citizen because he needed to be to satisfy non-foreign ownership requirements; he can buy his way anywhere.
