New book: Rupert Murdoch often wishes for the life of Trump
In author Michael Wolff's new book "The Fall: The End of Fox News and the Murdoch Dynasty", a picture is painted of outgoing media mogul Rupert Murdoch as a rabid Donald Trump hater.
According to Wolff, who became world-famous with the Trump book "Fire and Fury", Murdoch loathes Trump to the point that he "chews a frog". The Guardian has come across a copy of the new book, and in it it appears that Murdoch has repeatedly wished for Trump's life and that he has repeatedly aired thoughts of the type "everything would be resolved if..." or "how can he still be alive ".
Wolff writes that Murdoch has gradually soured on Trump - and that what started with a "fucking idiot" has turned into "a swirling cauldron of anger and accusations".

Trump writer on Fox News: 'Will end'
The journalist and author Michael Wolff, who in 2018 became famous around the world with his best-selling Trump book "Fire and Fury", is once again on the news. This time it is with a book in which he predicts the fall of the Murdoch-owned and conservative television channel Fox News.
- I think the channel will cease to exist in its current form, says Wolff in an interview with Vanity Fair.
Either through a radical change or that it is sold on, he reasons. Last week, 92-year-old media mogul Rupert Murdoch announced that he is stepping down as chairman of Fox Corporation and News Corp, and that son Lachlan will take over.
According to Wolff, Rupert Murdoch is the only reason why Fox has been able to exist in its current form.
- He is the only man who can, or has been able to, withstand the political and social criticism on such an intense level.
