Typically leaned toward Republicans Fox News and The New York Post, surprisingly, began distancing themselves in recent hours from Donald Trump for the first time since 2016 in what could mark a turning point.
The two major conservative outlets, affiliated with media mogul Robert Murdock, have been recently starting to cover the developments of the elections in a more neutral way.
For the first time, Trump supporters in Phoenix, Arizona, chanted, "Fox News is bad!", after this channel earlier announced the victory of then-Democratic candidate, now President-elect, Joe Biden in Arizona on Tuesday evening.
Earlier, it was revealed that Jared Kushner, Trump's advisor and son-in-law, called Murdock to push the channel back, to no avail.
Since that night, Fox News has dealt with extreme caution with accusations by the camp of the then incumbent president and Trump himself of massive electoral fraud.
"We have not seen" evidence, Brett Bayer, a prominent political journalist for the channel, confirmed Friday. "They didn't show us anything," he added.
As the vote counting was proceeding, the New York Post did not either report any of the Trump camp's assumptions that election fraud was taking place.
Just a few days ago, the newspaper was reporting accusations - issued by close associates of Donald Trump - against Hunter Biden, Joe Biden's son.
On Friday, two articles in the opinion pages acknowledged that Donald Trump would likely be defeated, a scenario that would reject the outgoing president tenaciously.
