Fox Faces Its Uncertain Future: The Minor Murdochs Take Command
Breitbart's Big Journalism ^ | August 6, 2016 | Steven K. Bannon

Posted on 08/06/2016 8:31:30 PM PDT by Bratch

Sky News in Britain, which is also operated by the Murdochs, doesn’t have the edge of Fox News in the United States. If there is a change, Shepard says it will be a sign that “the Murdoch sons want to put their stamp on the company by importing practices from Sky News in Britain.”

[...]

What’s their definition of “Fox without the edge”?

For some hints, we can take a close look at some recent MSM journalism.

Writing in The Washington Post on July 20, reporters Ana Swanson and Steven Mufson tell us that not only is James Murdoch a progressive green, but so is his wife, Kathryn:

James has long had an interest in global warming and measures needed to stop it. He sought to make BSkyB, one part of Murdoch’s European operations, carbon-neutral. And his wife, Kathryn, sits on the board of the Environmental Defense Fund; she is also president of the Quadrivium Foundation, which focuses on natural resources, “civic life, childhood health and equal opportunity.”

Moreover, Nick O’Malley of The Sydney Morning Herald reported in 2015 that James’ wife worked for the Clinton Climate Initiative, a unit of the Clinton Foundation. That is, right in the belly of the left-wing beast.

Finally, on July 20, Michael Wolff, who wrote a biography of Rupert and still follows the Murdoch clan closely, took to The Hollywood Reporter to describe the anti-Ailes operation as a planned hit-job. Wolff identified James Murdoch as the lead hit-man; he indirectly quoted him as saying that since the 76-year-old Ailes couldn’t stay in the job that much longer anyway, “Why not turn lemons into lemonade and get credit for kicking him out for being a sexist pig?”

Fox will be only as good as its reporting is. If they lose sight of the past and what built FOX News, it will crumble. They still have a few good people that present the news. They do need to clean house of the pansies and panderers and put real TRUTH SEEKING fighters on the main line.

If not, bye bye FOX.

We need a Conservative news network to counter the other 99.9999%.

I predict an Epic Fail.

Their advertising revenue will reflect this. Soon.

Buh-Bye!

Fox needs to cut down on the chattering women with feelings to express and add some hard reporting of facts.

I have to go to CNN first to even know what the news is before even trying FoxNews because Fox has no actual reporting.

Breitbart and OAN strike while the iron is hot.

The problem is billionaire investors who are actually conservative may not exist.

What’s astonishing is that Conservatives established many newspapers across the country and the left proceeded to hijack virtually every last one of them to push their deranged, anti-American agenda.

Conservatives at FOX should band together - walk out - and form their own network.

I was watching for a few minutes yesterday, and I think it was Trish Reagan talking about the feud between Khan and Trump. There is no feud. Trump has moved on. Khan is sort of the new Valerie Plame. No one cares, but the media keeps pushing it.
