But just hypothetically, suppose he convinced Fox to cancel Tucker Carlson, Hannity, and Laura’s shows. Get rid of all the primetime opinion shows and maybe offer them a weekend spot, once a week or something. That would be a pretty dramatic move but again, would it really have a lot of impact on how people will actually vote?

Would Fox make such a suicide move? Those shows have the highest ratings...which means advertising dollars. Who are they going to put in the 9 p.m. slot--Donna Brazile? Also, if they are going to start pulling hosts then Judge Jeanine, Greg Gutfeld and Jesse Watters would also be on the list--they have been way more effective than Sean these days.

Fox is going to have Louis Farrakhan give some speech on July 4th on “Fox Soul”, their new attempt to pander to black people.

Just spitballing in an attempt to figure out the reference quoted in Q #4537.

I don’t think Fox would do anything like the hypothetical I threw out, but it was just to most extreme thing I could think of that they COULD do. And if the did, would it change anyone’s vote? I don’t think so.

Fox is a business and they know the combination of news and opinion is successful. So what if Paul Ryan is on their board, he’s not going to get them to as you say, commit corporate suicide.
