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

Fox losing 50% of their viewers after The Steal is not normal post-election behavior. And since their lost viewers are not coming back, more layoffs are on the way at Fox. It will be fun to watch the layoff carnage as the excuses fly.
Yup.🙄
“Fox News is Fake Opposition”
Ding.
Ding.
Ding, we have a winner !
Fox represents the squishy ‘paul ryan’ wing of the republican party, in other words ‘stealth democrats’.
I get that he’s trying to woo back conservatives (and apparently succeeding), but I preferred “fair and balanced” and “we report, you decide”.
I haven’t watch FNC since before election night. Their FNF weekend leftist bimbos popped off one too many times against Trump and they are verboten in my house even though I love Maria Bartiromo dearly. My wife and I watch OAN for news and local news for weather and local news and ignore any national propaganda from the networks.
FNC turned on their customer base and lost half of it with Brazil, Wallace and their other news division leftist. Some say they can function with half of their customers gone and they can, but their ad revenue has to go down and when it comes time for DISH, DIRECTV and the cable companies to renegotiate with FNC they are going to want to pay a whole lot less than last time with their loss in viewers.
I just saw that. Fox is thumbing their nose at us.
Their ratings may be better, relatively speaking, but I’ll bet their viewership ain’t.
Not that Fox Corp cares.
LOL! Definition of cultural appropriation.
Their financial status needs to be zeroed. They need to be financially destroyed...along with the rest of the quisling media. Cut the cable...shoot down the satellite...kill the wi-fi...they’re trying to butter us up....no way...they are finished.
Motorhead sums it up
