Fox News Owner Lachlan Murdoch: ‘We Don’t Need to Go Further Right’

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.”

Fox is dead to me. They’re no more “conservative” than CNN now.

I miss FNC from it’s beginning, when it was fun. Even the morning show was, Steve, E.D. and the Poof, before he exited his closet.

It’s obvious you admire her for her brains and heart and nothing else.

“Really? If Hannity, Bartiromo, Carlson, Levin, and others had any testicles, they would say fine and leave to another network.”

All are under contract. We’ll see what happens when their contract expires.

Is that the right of Lenin or the right of Marx?

How to destroy a successful operation. Bill OReilly alone earned them $500 million a year.

If Lachrymose Murderdoc went a bit further right he would be about even with Bernie Sanders.

And Greg is not even to the right. He just has common sense and sees what’s going on.

Where would they go? No major network would take them. Newsmax can’t afford them and is becoming more like Fox every day. They’d have to band together and pool their resources to start a new network.

Fox is dead to me. I watch Tucker, and that’s it. Otherwise, OANN first, NewsMax 2nd.

That should not be the issue. The only issue is truth, factuality, provability.

Truth has no interest in politics.

WE have 90 Million Stockholders at one share each.

How many shares are on the market?

If not publicly traded then just make them an offer, money is King to them. They know they are going to dump in a handbag level of income as we speak.

Form a NFP Entity that is Audited by Independant Firm for transparency to shareholders. All share purchases are held by an escrow entity till transaction completed.

Shares are non dilutable nor are their any form of multi level shares held.

One Share, One Vote. Only.

BUY FOX NEWS along with all goods and chattels excluding any outstanding debt

PATRIOT NEWS GLOBAL is instantly Prime Time Viewing, yes GLOBAL.

Only accept UNWOKE and Constitutionally following and proven Advertising. -— That would be filled in a heartbeat.

See what 90+ Million Patriots can achieve in ONE effort to have our own Network.

Next I know of a few Network Companies that have gone out of business or are close as they are conservative or the big corporations want them gone. BUY THEM AND CONSOLIDATE, it also includes Internet, and GLOBAL transmission coverage.

Think I am crazy, go ahead, they laughed at Elon Musk, they laughed at twatter and farsebook, they LOL at everyone until they now OWN the planet.

I can take rebuff on this byut we are the LARGEST most aggrieved and betrayed Financial collective of individuals in the COUNTRY.

Time for US to be in the BIG game and Be the Power of our Constitutional Directed Bill of Rights defined PATRIOT ENTITY POWERHOUSE.

to the nah sayers

NUTS

Blessings to you All

Reversion to the mean. It’s why we abandoned monarchies.

A fool and his money were lucky to find each other in the first place.

I would depart now, wait for Trump to assemble a news channel to rival all news channels — and be among the MAGA Trumper supporters.

A "Trump News Channel" would have no advertisers aside from Mike Lindell.
