CNN ^ | March 19, 2019 | Brian Stelter

[snip] The Ryan appointment is the most noteworthy, given his history near the top of Republican politics. Ryan and Rupert Murdoch have been friendly for many years. In 2014, he named Ryan as a presidential contender he had "particular admiration for." [/snip]

I wonder if Lou Dobbs will be forced to stop criticizing Paul Ryan.

Yep. He will get suspended like the Judge did.
No more Faux for me.

I only watched an occasional Tucker and Hannity show anyway.

I do like watching Lou Dobbs though.

for some very strange reason,
Fox is destroying itself from within

it had a very successful business model ...
now being flushed down the toilet.

well, Sears had a very successful business model too (now being successfully used by Amazon, like it or not)

so maybe, probably there will be a successful successor to Fox, too

The who trajectory that Fox has recently taken has shown me what they want to be and who they want to cater to.

Fox News is on its way to becoming CNN, Part Deux. Glad I stopped watching it back when Bambi was elected. I don’t watch any news programs.

"She violated every ethical standard possible at CNN in the debates and FNC says, hmmm, we have to get some of that corruption here!"

All you have to do is look at how many chances Fox News gave Bob Beckel, to know that they weren't serious about the character of the people they hire, nor about the content of the news they provide.

Ryan is an empty suit. He is on the list of people that as soon as I see them on TV I change the channel or turn down the volume.

"I do like watching Lou Dobbs though."

I watch the video clips on YouTube when Lou has Diamond & Silk on. I get alerts from D&S whenever they have a new video posted. Same thing with The White House.

First they suspend someone who tells it like it really is—Judge Jeanine. Then they hire a KNOWN LIAR and corrupt bum—Donna Brazile. And now, they hire super-RINO—Ryan. Does anyone see a pattern here? The disintegration of Fox News is not going step by micro step. It’s proceeding much like watching a lump of sugar dissolve in cup of hot tea. I don’t see any reason to have anything to do with Fox News any more. With liars and human trash such as the above on board now, who could trust what they say?

Rupert’s Leftist sons have slowly, but surely brought FNC down.
We need a Trump News Channel!
Maybe in 2024!

Per Wiki:

Fox Corporation, also known as Fox Corp. (referred to before its creation as “New Fox”) is a mass media company formed as a result of the acquisition of 21st Century Fox by Disney to serve as the corporate spin-off for the assets The Walt Disney Company didn’t acquired.[7][1] The company began trading on March 19, 2019—the eve of the expected completion of the Disney acquisition of the remainder of 21st Century Fox.

Fox is the legal successor to 21st Century Fox (in turn a successor to News Corporation) dealing primarily in the television broadcast, news and sports broadcasting industries. Its sister company under Rupert Murdoch’s control, News Corp, holds Murdoch’s print interests and other media assets in Australia (both owned by him and his family via a family trust with 39% interest in each). Murdoch is co-executive Chairman, while his son Lachlan Murdoch is Chairman and CEO, respectively.

Fox’s assets include the Fox Broadcasting Company, Fox Television Stations, Fox News, the Fox Business Network, the national operations of Fox Sports, and others.[5]

On December 17, 2017, The Walt Disney Company announced its intent to acquire the filmed entertainment, cable entertainment, and direct broadcast satellite divisions of 21st Century Fox. The remainder of the company, would form a so-called “New Fox”, maintaining control of assets such as Fox’s television network and broadcast stations, Fox News Channel, and the national operations of Fox Sports, among other assets. Fox’s regional sports networks were to be included in the sale to Disney.[8][9] In May 2018, it was confirmed that Lachlan Murdoch, rather than James Murdoch, would take charge of the New Fox company.[4]

The merger has faced antitrust scrutiny; Disney would not legally be able to own both the ABC and Fox networks due to an FCC policy known as the “dual network rule”, which prohibits mergers between the top broadcast networks.[10] The Department of Justice also ordered that Fox’s regional sports networks be divested by Disney, as their combination with ESPN would put Disney in a dominant position of the overall market.[11][12]

In mid-2018, Comcast instigated bidding wars over both the assets Disney planned to purchase, and the British broadcaster Sky plc (a company which 21st Century Fox held a stake in, and was planning to acquire the remainder). In July 2018, Fox agreed to an increase of Disney’s offer to $71.3 billion to fend off Comcast’s counter-bid.[13][14] British regulators ordered that a blind auction be held for Sky’s assets, which would be won by Comcast.[15]

On October 10, 2018, it was reported that in preparation for the impending completion of the sale, the new, post-merger organizational structure of “New Fox” would be implemented by January 1, 2019.[6] On November 14, 2018, it was revealed that the new independent company will maintain the original “Fox” name.[16]

On January 7, 2019, Fox Corporation’s registration statement was filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.[17][3]

On January 11, 2019, Fox stated in a securities filing that it has no plans to bid on its former regional sports networks.[7]

On March 12, 2019, Disney announced that the sale would be completed by March 20, 2019.[18] On March 19, 2019, Fox Corporation officially began trading on the S&P 500, replacing 21st Century Fox on the index.[19] Republican politician and former speaker of the house Paul Ryan also joined Fox’s board at this time.

This makes perfect sense. Stick him where he can continue to damage Trump. Ryan is the reason we don’t have a fence on the border and he was doing exactly what he was put in DC to do....KNOW YOUR ENEMY! If you don’t know who Cesar Conda is, you need to know.

Who runs the GOP and owns Paul Ryan & Marco Rubio? Let’s name names!
