Fox executives are said to be fearful a shake-up is on the cards as Rupert Murdoch heads back to the US thanks to the COVID-19 vaccine, courtesy of the UK's NHS.
-snip-
Top of the priority list is to tackle the decline in ratings seen since Donald Trump lost the 2020 presidential election in November, insiders said.
Multiple insiders told The Daily Beast Fox News CEO Suzanne Scott and President Jay Wallace are both fighting to keep their jobs after taking the lion's share of the blame for the figures.
Fox has denied there is any truth to the rumors, issuing a statement that reads: 'Your premise is wrong. It is wishful thinking by our competitors.'
Sources said Murdoch and Lachlan are 'disenchanted' with the pair.

Two sources told the outlet former Fox News vice president David Rhodes has been tipped by Lachlan to take Scott's job with another source saying the Murdochs ''like Rhodes a lot'.
Sources said Wallace's job is also rumored to be on the line after the network was first to call Arizona for Joe Biden on election night.

Yep. And the wife. It’s probably really her fault. Like Boris and his girlfriend.
How old is Rupert, anyhow? (to lazy to scroogle it)
89.
Doesn’t matter, viewers won’t be back.
The two employees in question may ask Murdoch:
“But isn’t all this what you wanted? We followed Paul Ryan’s suggestions to a tee. We did a complete 180 on Trump.
We even poisoned the Glee Club atmosphere at Fox & Friends.
We were just following orders.”
I’ll never go back. Blocked FOX on all my TVs
Rupert needs to just sell the network to China.
Time to stop faking it,,,,
Daddy’s coming home, the house is trashed, chandelier is busted, windows are broken, there is a goat in the kitchen and the place reeks of puke, the boys got a lot of explaining to do
If it is true, then he needs to boot Chrissy Wallace, Donna Brazile, and Neil Cavuto too.
FOX needs more people who can think outside the box. Let me give you a good example. During the debate, Chrissy Wallace asked, “Black families have one half the income of White families. What do you plan to do about that?” Or something like that.
Hmmm. Why didn’t he ask, “Most black kids grow up in single parent households (60+%), while most white kids grow up in two parent households (70+%). Can the government, or White people do anything about that?”
Because it is pretty obvious that one parent is one half of two parents.
The Fake News Media in a nutshell. Either The Beast's sources are lying or The Beast itself is lying or Faux News executives are lying. Any which way you want to cut it, somebody's lying.
I always thought he found a niche and didn’t give one care about the other half of the country. It was all about $$$.
Wrong Wallace.
Shake up? He’s dreaming. Mike Pen e has a route back in if he were doing something undercover positive and only then and only if it turns out to have helped.
There is no way back in for Fox. They’re done.
“ Rupert needs to just sell the network to China.”
Hmm tgey think they’ll be solvent jettisoning their viewers for some reason.
Rating wise, wait til seniors start clearing their DVRs
About the closest he ever came to a conservative thought was lower taxes, but then that's just self-serving.
Too late, buddy. USS Fox has sunk.
Not a single moment since their self destructive habits were full blown. Ya know, that kind of behavior can be contagious. Ask that wife, “Look what we did.”
Hopefully Paul Ryan’s head is on the block too.
