In these intervening bleak years, Twitter has been enlivened by the almost constant posts of a man Murdoch has called “my friend, Donald J Trump”.In power, Trump has favoured Murdoch’s media outlets, granting interviews to his Fox News TV channel and his first post-election foreign newspaper interview to the Times.
