Fox News will serve as the 'loyal opposition' to Joe Biden, CEO Lachlan Murdoch has announced - adding that the move was designed to boost their ratings.
In what was seen as the most frank assessment of the network to date, Murdoch, the eldest son of Rupert Murdoch, said that the network would hold the new president to account.
Speaking on Thursday at a Morgan Stanley conference, the 49-year-old said that Fox News was aiming to echo MSNBC's success in acting as the main White House critic.
'The main beneficiary of the Trump administration from a ratings point of view was MSNBC, and that's because they were the loyal opposition,' Murdoch said of the rival cable network, as reported by NBC.
'That's what our job is now with the Biden administration, and you'll see our ratings really improve from here.'

They fired Lou Dobbs so I fired them. I only watch Steve Bannon’s War Room for news.

where did Lou end up?
sure miss him
Isn’t that the one who does ‘The Water Cooler’?
I find him to be annoying (if it is the same person).
I watch those too. I got rid of cable years ago, but my relatives still have it and recorded his show for me. He was on Fox Business.
That is a “post of the day” right there.
Doesn’t sound familiar. must be somebody else.
I went and checked the name of the guy, it’s David Broody (the program is on America’s Voice, and he tries to be like Tucker Carlson, but folds real easily to the opposition (libs), of whom he always has on his show).
When he comes on, I switch to other Conservative shows.
They are seeing the power of the Trump supporters. Wait until they see what happens in 2022 and 2024 elections.
Dittoes.
I see that they have Tucker throwing out a lot of red meat for conservatives. Don't care myself. I think some have gone back to them with a 'kick-me' sign on their backs.
Lou is no where to be found. My guess is he has a contract with Fox that prohibits him from going to another network.

Too bad. Lou “got it”
Maybe his contract had a buy out clause like football coaches??
So he might have some income from something like that to take a little sting out
