Honestly, Fox have been putting distance between themselves and Trump for a little while.

They can see he's nuts and also that Team trump means risking jail time.

Add to the fact that the election is now a toss up, and being seen as not R enough for Trump is a lesser evil than getting dragged through the courts on treason charges.

Doesn't mean that they've changed their heart, just that the rats know when to abandon ship.
