With Rupert aging and his sons trying to turn Fox News into another mainstream (a.k.a. left wing) media outlet, it is inevitable they will kill the goose that laid the golden egg.
Fox News flourished as a fair and balanced network. You could tell the news shows from the opinion shows. Partisan opinion hosts did not hide their political bias. They would put on people from both side of an issue to hash it out. They would call out BS and falsehoods.
How things have changed.
It is now hard to separate news from opinion. Take Shepard Smith - we came to love him for his news show. But now his news show is all about left wing politics. It is neither fair nor balanced and looks much more like an MSNBC or CNN production then a Fox News production. But it is not just Shepard Smith, have a look at some of their weekend news anchors - what a disaster, who do we trust.
It is not a matter of if the news anchors are left or right wing - we never used to be able to tell on Fox News. But now, there are many hosting news shows with their left wing fangs exposed.

I heard Rush today dismiss this claim. He told his listeners that this claim is bogus.
