Gabriel Sherman reports in Vanity Fair that internal divisions are arising in Fox News’ coverage of U.S. President Donald Trump

Gabriel Sherman reported in Vanity Fair Tuesday that internal divisions are arising in Fox News’ coverage of U.S. President Donald Trump.

Sherman’s report came the day before 21st Century Fox sold off large assets to Disney and began trading under a new name — Fox Corp.

"Donald Trump's alliance with Fox News has been one of the few constants throughout his shambolic presidency," Sherman wrote. "But in recent days, that bond has shown signs of fraying.

"Reporters are telling management that we're being defined by the worst people on our air," Sherman wrote, citing a senior source in Fox News.

Why is this a surprise? Murdock held a fund raiser for Killary Clinton.

Yes, your point is well taken. Corporate executives don’t always make logical, business driven decisions. They are often influenced by other things such as a misguided desire to do trendy things, their own outsized ego’s, and especially in today’s world, ideological views. Improving the bottom line is not always the key factor.

I still watch Tucker but other than that Fox news has been dead to me for a long time now.

Anti-Trump? Why else would they put Snake-in-the-Grass Ryan on their board?

It is debatable, however, IMHO, Hannity was a big factor in PDJT getting elected.

It is sad seeing Hannity selling out at the feet of the Murdochs and Disney. Ugh.

Take a paycut and leave them!

Start a new network or invest in OANN if they’ll have you.

Fox has been downright hostile to President Trump since that first debate. Who is Vanity Fair trying to kid? What liars.

Fox and Friends in the mornings were very kind to President Trump during the campaign. He would call in several times a week.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

in case there is any doubt on Fox News diving into the Dark Side, here’s an excerpt from the piece:

“CNN reported Tuesday that former House Speaker Paul Ryan is joining the board of Fox Corp. Sherman reported that sources in Fox News see the appointment of Ryan and the hiring of ex-DNC Chairwoman Donna Brazile as evidence of a shift away from its rigid pro-Trump line.”

case closed.

Just what we need ANOTHER:

CNN
MSNBC
NBC
ABC
NPR
CBS

FOX is taking #METOO to a ratings death spiral.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

MSM can now be referred to as “the UniMedia”?

The crime and the dirty tricks.. the left ... it keeps growing and spreading into every nook and corner.

Fox ceo’s must believe the fake crap hillary cooked up to get Trump. I do believe it’s all about to hit the fan... and Fox must think they will be the target if and when the people know the truth about what they’ve done to our President!

This unheard of in our country.... this has not happened before, involving almost every branch and administration of the past 8 years of obama.. they attempted a coup.. to remove the President, with NOTHING to go on.. just their belief they COULD.

My question: If and when it is proved in court, that they did this ... unlawful and illegal and criminal and treasonous... what happens to the ones mueller put in prison... this is a first... so what are the laws going to be... they were put in prison by a criminal who was worse than any one he went after... and what they did was wrong.. could not possibly be legal and those in prison should be out!

Poor wording on my part... (listening to Rush and typing at the same time)... but get the point... can those persons be exhonerated?

I want to reverse the question. When are we going to realize that we need a movement to demand conservative voices on the other networks? That goes hand-in-hand with an effort to take back the schools. Otherwise we are lost.

“...Fox ceo’s must believe the fake crap...”

Or they don’t believe it either but don’t care.

Our side has to realize that this is no longer about making a profit for the propaganda outlets.

They wish to see America dissolve and the birth of a one world order dystopia. Disinformation and fake news is more important to them than turning a profit.

It is time our side realizes what we are up against.

I like Greg Gutfeld’s Show and Mark Levin’s show both on Fox on the weekend.

Yeah, Donna is a female Geraldo Rivera. The choice when they appear on screen is mute or switch. For a network that had a singular hold on their conservative viewers, it makes no sense to me that they are abandoning their base. It’s crazy.
