Contrary to popular belief, not everyone at Fox News-owning News Corp is a fan of Donald Trump.
Some employees peddle in conspiracy theories that may be considered too wild even for the Daily Kos.
News Corp Vice President for Creative and Strategy Louise Mensch is a frequent critic of Trump, and often pushes nutty conspiracy theories on Twitter.
Her latest?
That Vladimir Putin stole the election from Hillary Clinton — and his action robbed her of a “landslide victory that she deserved.”
88,000 votes across 3 hacked US states separated @HillaryClinton from a landslide victory that she deserved. And Putin did that. Putin. https://t.co/rXn7OEN2xu

“88,000 votes across 3 hacked US states separated Hillary Clinton from a landslide victory that she deserved,” Mensch wrote on Friday.
She fingered her usual suspect. “And Putin did that. Putin,” she wrote.
She didn’t indicate which states she believes Putin hacked.
Maybe Michigan? Or Wisconsin? Or other states the Clinton campaign ignored until it was too late?
Even Democrats admit no vote tallies were changed.
Maybe the News Corp exec believes Putin hacked Clinton’s polling to show she was actually doing better than in reality?
News Corp may not dump Mensch as an executive, but they shouldn’t let her anywhere near the newsroom.
