The former House Speaker and Chase Carey join previously announced board members Rupert Murdoch, Lachlan Murdoch and Jacques Nasser as the company also adopts a so-called "poison pill."
The new Fox Corp. has added former Speaker of the House Paul Ryan, and long-time Rupert Murdoch ally and Formula 1 chairman and CEO Chase Carey, to its board and adopted a temporary "poison pill" against hostile takeover attempts.
The slimmed-down Fox, separated early Tuesday from the Fox entertainment assets that Walt Disney is expected to take over just after midnight Wednesday ET, also added to its board Anne Dias, founder of Aragon Global Holdings, an investment fund focused on global media, technology and telecommunications companies; and Roland Hernandez, the founding principal and CEO of Hernandez Media Ventures.
The new board members join previously announced members Rupert Murdoch, Lachlan Murdoch and Jacques Nasser.
Ryan in 2012 was selected as former Gov. Mitt Romney’s Republican vice-presidential nominee. He then served as the 54th speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives from 2015 to 2019, "in which capacity he spearheaded efforts to revise the federal tax code, rebuild the national defense, expand domestic energy production, combat the opioid epidemic, and reform the criminal justice system," Fox said.

Yet another reason to stop watching FOX.
Worse yet, Fox, for some unknown reason, now has Donna Brazile on its payroll.
I guess with John McCain and Benedict Arnold being dead, they had to settle for Ryan.
Oh cool, another NeverTrumper on Fox. That makes about a hundred of them.
At least if I ever become a washed up, has been, loser I know where I can get a job.
I am Jack’s complete lack of surprise.
Hasn’t been much reason to watch for years now.
The Murdochs acting out their Trump hate.
This is even more disgusting to me than Netflix adding Barry and that other guy.
Boo hiss!
The open borders agenda is front and center.
It’s not really Trump they hate, it’s US (US citizens) and our desire to keep our country that they hate.
Lying Ryan and Donna Brazil; Fox hires two new people where neither of whom have any credibility with the public. The Murdoch boys must want to compete with CNN’s lowest of ratings. They’re on the right track.
Ryan, the imaginary conservative, is on the FOX board???
We are sooooo screwed.
Check out my tagline!
Thanks!
FOX is intent on committing suicide. Bye-bye.
Wow that’s a compliment.
I’d replace “they” with “Fox News” so people know to what you refer.
Like I said two days ago, FOX will be virtually indistinguishable from CNN and MSNBC in 5 or fewer years.
Liberals will have a trifecta in the news channels business.
Republicans and conservatives will have to start pumping up OAN, otherwise, we won’t have any representation in the TV and radio news business.
Donna Brazille was just on Hannity.
I just stopped watching Hannity.
Traitor.
Just saw her on Hannity. I am offended they pay to have her taking up valuable space.
