If you think Fox News Channel has gone to the dark side, wait until you see what happens next.
Fox Media owner Lachlan Murdoch told Deadline that he’s just fine with the direction of the once conservative news channel.
“We believe where we are targeted, to the center-right, is exactly where we should be targeted. We don’t need to go further right. We don’t believe America is further right,” he said. “And we are obviously not going to pivot left.”
In recent days the network has been rocked by high-level departures of well-known conservatives like Lou Dobbs, Trish Regan and Heather Childers. Fox also chose not to renew my contract – replacing me with a Never Trump, cultural leftist.
“In the journalism business, the journalism trade, you work out what your market is and you produce your best product you can possibly produce for that target market,” Murdoch said.
“The success of Fox News throughout its entire history has been to provide the absolute best news and opinion for a market we believe is firmly center-right. And we don’t pivot or change that. And we haven’t pivoted or changed that throughout the history of Fox News. So, we’ll continue to provide the best journalism with the best hosts with the best analysis with the best opinions going forward, as we have throughout the past news cycles.”
Take a one billion dollar positive cash flow a year media company and slash that by half for DC and Park ave cocktail party invites
Amd so your leftist wife will be happy
Neither Murdoch boys could carry their Dad or their grandads jockstrap
Or their moms for that matter....she was stuff too
It’s just spoiled brat stupidity
I was friendly a few years ago with a a newspaper publisher in Nashville
Not a Sigenhaler so you can probably guess if you’re local
At lunch once where I’d query him about the power of owning a newspaper
He told me .....no mincing words....forget Belle Meade parties......”that shit is over”
You gonna make enemies
The Murdoch boys want love .....paying a lot of money and still won’t get it
NO! don’t you remember? mitt is “severely conservative”! What a hoot! He’s a liar. I would wonder how he squares that with his (supposed)religion. But, I’d have to care first, before giving a crap! All that I need to know, and I MOST CERTAINLY DO, is that mitt is a LIAR!
no no of course you don’t- your sinking ratings prove it- please- keep movign left- and enjoy the sinking viewer numbers-
The upheaval coming in news media is going to be like the upheaval in the Presidential election — possibly greater, a tsunami of sorts.
I would like to see Trump making a powerful move to news media after the fake impeachment, and it’s one of the reasons perhaps he’s so quiet now — waiting for the moment.
If I were Carlson, Dobbs, Batiromo, Hume, Hannity, Ingraham, Gufield, etc. — I would depart now, wait for Trump to assemble a news channel to rival all news channels — and be among the MAGA Trumper supporters.
Others that could come on board the Trump Express — VDH, Sheryl Attkisson, Ben Carson, Jason Whitlock, other “truthers.”
The MSM wouldn’t know what hit them
This guy is a bitch, I bet he has a chinese wife. Or a wife that has bigger balls than him. Or both.
If they’re moving in any direction, it’s down.
Fox, like the Republican Party are intellectually stunted. There is no hope.
Ping
He can go wherever the hell he wants to go as far as I’m concerned. I haven’t watched his station since election night, and I don’t plan to.
Idiot!!
Right about that. Do all I can to make that happen.
I have so much free time w o Fox. Newsmax is good if I need to know something. HGTV is great. Food Network, too!
It was never conservate.
My “Don’t give a shit” meter just can’t be budged on the issue.
I haven’t watched it since May 2016.
“Is the left better at boycotts than we are or what?”
Yes. They are. They also have bots.
Heather Childers co-anchors ‘American Agenda’ on Newsmax now.
Still don’t get it, do you?
What a moron.
