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.”
Let’s drive their viewership down to zero.
Then we can say :
WE DID IT !!!
Hey I agree, and also get 4id of the idiotic “fair and balanced” no sense once and for all. The left don’t bother to practice it, why should we? We cer t windy don’t want to befriend liberal snakes anyways, they will just turn on us at some pojnt, so why even pander to them at all? We don’t care what the other side has to say because they are incapable of telling the truth, and nasty people hell bent on destroying the right.
Tks for telling me
I think she’s comely ...especially at 50
She overcame disfiguration as a teen girl which has to be hard..much harder for girls
And she always on our side.....this wasn’t her first dust up with Fox brass moving left
And there’s she’s southern from North Carolina and yes I’m partial
Her Ainsly Earhart and Anna Kooiman all went to same grade school....interesting DNA pool
But yes I do find her attractive ...
We don’t want anyone to “go right”. We want you to go back to “We report, you decide” and “Fair and balanced”.
There's not right and left; there's right and WRONG. Should we go wrong too?
Hi.
Doesn’t matter Lachlan, you and the rest of the corrupt corporate media are nothing but a DNC propaganda department and a shill for the “globalist.”
Change my mind.

I will continue to avoid Fox News, and will cheer its demise. Haven’t watched any of the other propaganda channels in decades, now fox joins that list.
Fix news was never conservative.
For the past month i binge-watched “the Crown”, instead of giving daytime ratings to FOX.
Evenings, I watch the Hallmark channels.
I just watched “Bombshell” , the movie about Megan Kelly and behind the scenes at Fox.
Watch it if you are nostalgic about the old days and the old personalities.
Where are they now?
Greta Von Susteren is reduced to blogging about her cats. 🙀😻
Nothing personifies FOX News more than that “fifteen minutes of fame “wisecrack.
Watching “Bombshell”, I couldn’t remember half of the people.
I wonder if job applicants have to bare their legs to Lachlan and James?
No wonder they chose a woman...a really mean-looking one...to be their current CEO.
Suzanne Scott. I bet her career path reads a lot like that of Kamala Harris.
Foxnews loses half their audience and more and your competitors are bringing in millions of new viewers and murdoch thinks that is a good thing?
Who says not having liberals on is wrong? I missed the rule that shows MUST have on the opposition who do nothing but lie i guess-
The left own everything practically- and when they can’t control a conservative news station, they demand that the conservative follow some arbitrary ‘rules’- i say nonsense- We are allowed to have our own news stations- there is no right and wrong about having nothing but conservatives- not sure where you get the idea it’s wrong not to have lying snakes on a station that is allowed to makes it’s own rules?
Then you probably need to get a job.
You've been a parasite far too long.
I like to see libs LOSE. If you don't see libs, you don't get to see them defeated. Remember way back when Hannity and Colmes was the featured primetime show on FOX? I loved watching Sean destroy Colmes' feelings-based arguments with fact-based debate. And it's important to know the enemy first hand, not just what someone says about him.
