There is one scenario nobody has mentioned. If states decertify. Just leaving that out there. -SB

I just spent two days researching FNC and the parent company Newcorp.

I think I found out what is going on over at FNC. I'm not 100% sure but 80% at least. Usually, it's about the money. Remember the old slogan follow the money. I think that still applies to FNC.

Here it is:

Since the election, some of Trump's most ardent supporters on the network, including Pirro and Maria Bartiromo, have faded from prominence while others like Lou Dobbs and his equally incendiary Fox Business Network colleague Trish Regan have been jettisoned entirely.

“If they went down that path of Rudy Giuliani and election fraud, it would have been a short-term win,” Krakauer says, “but at what  cost?”

(it's about the money no doubt)

That question may soon be answered by the courts: Fox News’ coverage of Trump's election fraud misinformation campaign(from the link not me) has resulted in multiple lawsuits.

(remember this piece written by far left hollywoodreporter.com)

Voting technology firms Dominion and Smartmatic filed defamation lawsuits this year asking for $1.6 billion and $2.7 billion in damages, respectively. Fox Corp. has moved to dismiss both suits.(FNC knows the machines were used in massive voter fraud they have to. But, most likely think they can't win in a court that is controlled by obama) In August, a New York state judge expressed some skepticism toward Fox's bid to dismiss the Smartmatic suit, which in addition to Fox Corp. and Giuliani, names lawyer Sidney Powell, Dobbs, Bartiromo and Pirro.

Meanwhile, in October 2020, the network reached a reported seven-figure settlement with the parents of murdered Democratic National Committee staffer Seth Rich over an online report about a bogus conspiracy theory that Rich was behind the DNC email dump to WikiLeaks during the 2016 presidential campaigns.(everything Rich did was real and the DNC was behind his death FNC has to know by now--once again they think they can't win in a biased court case) Those involved in the report were terminated and the site has been overhauled. Scott,(Suzanne Scott CEO of FNC) will not say anything about the pending suits or the settlement with the Rich family, including why the company insisted on a clause to keep the settlement secret until after the 2020 presidential election.

Here's the problem for FNC. You have basically excellent mgmt. of FNC with 25 year employee CEO Suzanne Scott. She came up the ranks and is well respected by most. Yeah, she's a blonde and look who FNC hires and yeah women play a bigger role in the company but when you have a CEO like Scott who accounts for over 50% of the holding companys profits she rules.

Also,her office is only steps from one of the other two Newscorp rulers Lachlan Murdoch.The other ruler being his father 90 year old Rupert.

The other son James is not much of a player these days. Although, his wife did come up with 100 million for her cause which is climate change. Someone brainwashed the sh_t out of her somewhere along the line and she's been a hardcore lib ever since.

Lachlan,a brilliant guy all round,even climbs rocks, appears to be the heir apparent.He appears to have a good relationship with FNC CEO Suzanne Scott.

The company,FNC, under the reign of Scott, appears to leave most talking head employees alone. Instead of issuing commands from above she let's people know her take on issues and leaves the rest up to them. The fact that she won't hesitate to right a wrong as she sees it leaves a message for most show hosts.

My guess again is that since FNC is on the losing side of issues/law suits, like Seth Rich which was a no-brainer. He was executed by Hillary for giving up the entire DNC inside info to the world. When you lose that one you know the fix is in and the law is being ignored.

Is this the signal that FNC employees need to be vaxed and that election fraud does not exist? These people are not stupid and have access to the most current info and intel and know at least if not more than we do. Do top mgmt. of Suzanne Scott and Lachlan Murdoch see all kinds of other 7 figure law suits in the works if they tell the truth?

It's likely.

Back to the Murdoch family which is loosely the pattern for an HBO show/series called "Succession" accd. to many.It's very well done,who knows how accurate.

At Newscorp there have always been three players:

Rupert the founder and the sons Lachlan and James. James is currently out of favor and swings to the left with his wife a far lefty.

That leaves Rupert 90 and Lachlan who basically will run the show one day. Currently I would bet the old man still has his say and may still be a huge player.

After all it's hard to ignore a guy with 17 billion in his wallet.His wealth may also be a magnet for hungry lawyers on the make for quick and easy law suits or even bigger cases. Historically, the Murdochs have been ardent capitalists,IMHO, and profits are the mothers' milk of the corp.

When the prize profit maker,FNC faces the potential for law suit after law suit prudent mgmt. will most likely do what is necessary to avoid such a calamity.

So if FNC is seen as heading to the left and appeasing this guy and that guy going after some conservatives,it may just help them avoid some very costly law suits. Are they happy with having to go this route,most likely not.

The reason they feel forced to do this could be the same reason that Trump is not potus today. The fix is in by the hard left. They,hard left, have covered every legal base that needs to be covered and until the mid-terms when the good guys take back at least partial control FNC may have no other alternative than to do what has to be done to avoid massive law suits that are unwinnable under any circumstances.

At least this is the main argument I can find that let's them somewhat off the hook. It's obvious that as slick as the founder and his son Lachlan and Scott are they totally understand that there was massive election fraud and that the bio-weapon shots are bogus as hell. But, if they can't win those arguments in court and the end result is they get their collective asses sued over and over what choice do they really have?
