Fox News will bounce back from ratings dip by being 'loyal opposition' to President Biden, CEO says
Business Insider ^ | 3/5/2021 | Kelsey Vlamis

Lachlan Murdoch, the CEO of Fox Corp., said Fox News would serve as "loyal opposition" to President Joe Biden, which he said will boost the network's ratings, NBC News reported.

"Seventy-five million people voted for a Republican president," Murdoch said, according to NBC. "That's what we represent. We're going to stick to the center-right. That's where our audience is."

The president began encouraging supporters to stop watching Fox and instead watch lesser-known right-wing outlets that showed even more loyalty to Trump, like Newsmax and One America News Network.

Fox, which has long dominated cable news ratings, saw a drop in viewership as a result. In January, the network lost it's top spot in cable news for the first time in nearly 20 years, trailing behind cable rivals CNN and MSNBC.

However, CNN reported Fox saw a ratings boost on Sunday, when Trump spoke at the Conservative Political Action Conference

Too little, too late.

The time for outrage was November 4, 2020.

All we got was “Rudy has no proof”.

Simpletons. Streaming networks and talk radio is all the deplorables have in broadcasting.

Their knife is still embedded firmly in our backs and they think we’re coming back because they are the “loyal opposition”. If you are loyal to the Communist party then you are not real opposition...you are merely a distraction. Fire Chris Wallace and Paul Ryan and every other left wing piece of lying filth and then maybe we’ll consider. They say they want the support of the 75 million people that voted for Trump when their f’ing hosts were openly supporting and endorsing Biden!!! Eat $hit and die Murdoch’s!!!

Fix News lost 50% of their viewers after The Steal which means they need to DOUBLE their ratings just to get back to where they were.

Doubling their ratings is not going to happen. More layoffs to come.

If Fox wants to get viewers back, at a minimum they need to hire investigative reporters that are objective and follow up on the many allegations of fraud in the election. Report what really happened. Start using the hundreds of affidavits and follow up, either find proof of truth or not. Some of the claims may not have substance, at least show why. But there is just way too much smoke to deny there’s a fire.

SMH... so you will let Fox die(and glorify in it) and then the only channels will be CNN and MSNBC.

After Fox dies I will wait to see when CNN or MSNBC picks up Tucker or Laura and gives them an hour show.

Conservatives eating their own again.

Why the conservative movement wil never get anywhere and is doomed.

What a pile of Schumer! Nope, FAUX News is done. Especially if they keep that hack Chrissy Wallace onboard.

Fox’s leadership fails to understand that its 2021 and the market for information is very different now. When a News enterprise chooses to be agenda-driven they destroy their credibility and people go elsewhere for news/information. In order for a News enterprise to be successful they have to have real integrity, period.

Never!! I have not watched Fox back stabbing news since election night and will never watch Fox again.

Don’t forget to turn off the local Fox Channels - 32 in Chicago has gone completely Left Wing Lunatic.
