It’s a return to his roots. He started out in the biz working for Roger Ailes at Fox:


https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Rhodes_(media_executive)
[Rhodes began his career in television journalism with Fox News,[6] where he joined as a Production Assistant before the channel launched in October 1996. He eventually became Vice President of News and stayed at Fox for 12 years.[11][12] In 2008, Rhodes moved to Bloomberg L.P. as Head of U.S. Television.[12] Bloomberg’s cable channel underwent a major re-design in 2009.[13][14]

In February 2011 Rhodes became president of CBS News, replacing Sean McManus.[15] At age 37 he was the youngest network news president in the history of American television.[16]

He was responsible for CBS News broadcasts and the division’s news-gathering across all platforms including television, CBS News Radio, CBSNews.com[17] and CBSN, the first live-anchored streaming news network.[18][19]

Beginning in 2015 he took over the CBS News unit of the network. In addition, he was responsible for the supervision of “The CBS Evening News,” “CBS This Morning” and more.[16]

Rhodes promoted “Real News” and put an emphasis on CBS News’ journalistic traditions.[16] The division began programming “CBS This Morning” in 2012[20] —emphasizing harder news coverage and bringing the morning show back to the CBS Broadcast Center from a remote studio. CBS News’ “Face the Nation with Bob Schieffer” was expanded to one hour and emerged as the #1 Sunday morning public affairs show.[21][22]

On January 6, 2019, Susan Zirinsky was named President of CBS News, replacing David Rhodes.[23][24][25] Rhodes stepped down on March 1, 2019, “after overseeing Zirinsky’s transition and having an advisory role after that.” [26] According to Variety, with Rhodes at the helm, “CBS News expanded into new digital territories and placed more emphasis on its roots as a trusted hard-news outlet, refashioning the network’s morning show and launching streaming-news outlet CBSN.”[27]

In September 2019 he began work as a consultant for Spotify’s original podcast development,[28] and he has also worked for the Los Angeles Times since leaving CBS.[29]

In May 2020 he began to work for News UK, the British division of Rupert Murdoch’s News Corp. He is developing several current affairs and entertainment programs which are expected to launch in early 2021. The programs will be distributed online and over a traditional television channel.[2][30][1] ]

If they keep it up, Dr. pimple eater, will be kicking their collective asses.

Insanity, as defined by doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results, is being shown for everyone to see.

When the little Southern Lady, says, "Poor dear, bless your heart", she is referring to the fox den dwellers.

What viewers does Fox think they can attract. MSNBC has a lock on the far left. CNN has a lock on the pretend objective viewers. Real Americans have no interest in the Obama/Biden treason. Fox ratings are only going one way.

Well, they don’t seem to get it why so many have stopped watching and now this? I bet Paul Ryan had a say.

Wonder if this was because Rhodes refused to go full CNN or MSNBC (i.e. far left) in CBS’s political slant. Charlie Rose is a lefty, but definitely not CNN’s Jim Acosta or MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow.

Fox News is already burnt toast. They might just as well slather some lard on it.

During the obama years all the major news organizations had family ties to members of the administration. Fox is just getting around to joining in. Unholy matrimony is a cornerstone of communism.

Maybe even the most disconnected and hard headed among us will finally see the light and abandon Fox.

It’s amazing how their ratings have so suddenly and dramatically collapsed - and they still refuse to learn anything from it. Clearly the network’s leadership is on a suicide mission.

Keep listening to Paul Ryan and Fox News will be as worthless as the Republican House was under Ryan’s leadership. Fox is well on its way to that already.

The Murdoch brothers (and especially their wives) just want to be loved. After all, they are so smart - why doesn’t the DC cocktail party circuit love them? It’s all because some employees supported that evil Trump. It just isn’t fair. :)

If you’re still watching Fox News, YOU’RE the problem.
