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.

-snip-

"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

They are not following the money...they are following their political bias

They took a one billion dollar a year positive cash flow business in FNC that daddy had masterfully extricated from other FOX entities and the accompanying debt and immediately set about to change the tone there despite knowing it was their graavy train

Why because dad made not them....it's so stupid and arrogant

Agreed they stabbed us in the front on election night.

Won’t watch Faux news again.

They are liars and biased.

Don’t believe anything you see on this network.

Traitors to the people who used to watch them and built them up. Now they see what happened to their ratings.

Lol

The irony in your scold is you ignore the real reasons and instead blame conservatives for being ill at folks who betray them

That irony being your mindset is why we lose

Is Trump crawling back to FOX?

Win > being nice

Mudoch's Maxim: Believe what I say, not what you saw or heard on my network.

Yeah, right.

Max, where are your show buzz links and charts?

I'd show them but you'd rather hide the facts, when fnc isn't in the crapper.

I'm not a die hard fnc watcher, but I'm not insane with hate, and even when fox was getting beat up by cnn and msnbc, you always presented the worst possible slant.

If you were so show buzz dedicated when fnc was at the bottom, why don't you reference them in your screed today?

Hypocrite?

There is no need to do the charts over and over when Fox’s ratings are still down 50% since The Steal. And Mad Cow is still beating Tucker Carlson for #1 in Prime. It’s not worth my time to keep doing the charts over and over when Fox ratings are still down 50% post-Fix and not going back up.

the left hates Fox News even today, with the few liberals on there and now conservatives hate fox news too.....hmmm

They call it loyalty to Trump? they think we don’t have our own mind?

loyalty..they do not know. too many turned on Trump when they thought he was out. Trust is earned over time .. dont squander it. Fox messed up... they could have recognized their audience while washington was condemning Trump. they didn’t. I went elsewhere. now they have a change of mind? you squandered it Fox.

I refuse to listen to bad mouthing the one person who was fixing our world...while you let the guilty corrupt left steal the election.
and now you have a half man who does not know where he is.. imagine!!!.. in the seat of power. are you proud of your choice?

No, there is newsmax and oann.

Fox stabbed us in the back, and now they want us back? That’s like having your husband beat you up, then saying he’s sorry, it won’t happen again.

After 25 years we’ve dropped DishNetwork and went with streaming.......we deleted anything FoxNews/FoxBusiness from the lists of favorites. I’ll miss Greg but I’ll find out a way to get his show.....and Jesse’s too. If someone can tell me how, I’d appreciate it. I’m too old to learn all this technical mumbo jumbo.......;)

Fox News will not bounce back. Has not been on in our home or our Sirius XM radio in my truck since the election. Dishonest news, toadying up to the liberals and unAmerican democrat party.

With the money we saved by dropping Dish, Hub has downloaded several streaming sites. Roku is one. It’s only Gregs show on Saturday night. Thanks for the info. I’ll watch them on YouTube....have a nice day

I realize how valuable your time is, but other than madcow beating hannity head to head, {not Tucker} FNC is back to beating the other two cable news channels up and down the time slots.

You know that the major reason that all news programs are down, is because it's what happens after a national election.

There is no doubt that fox pissed down our leg and told us it was raining, but your screeds are always so one sided that you are more like cnn than a Newsmax reporter.

Just try to be a little more even in your assessment.
