TV news is about making money for the business’ owners. If Fox were to become stridently conservative, watchers would disappear and money would be lost. That would mean no Fox at all. Keep your perspective.

Your first statement is certainly true, but I’m not sure I agree with the rest of your perspective... After all, Fox News exploded in popularity precisely *because* it included the conservative viewpoint as part of its news coverage, which in turn drew the patronage of millions of displaced conservative viewerss who for so long had felt alienated and frustrated with the left-wing bias on all the other “news” networks. I think the Fox News channel would be wise not to curtail it’s appeal to conservatives if it wishes to maintain its stronghold as the #1 TV news outlet.
