The parent company of Fox News has hired a former top aide to Joe Biden as its chief lobbyist in Washington.
On Tuesday the new Fox Corp., a spin-off of 21st Century Fox which just merged with Disney, became a standalone public company, controlling television assets such as Fox News and the Fox television network.
Broadcasting & Cable reported that new Fox hit the ground running on day one with its Washington lobbying operation headed by Danny OBrien, a well-known Democrat.
OBrien was brought on last October as executive vice president and head of government relations for the Fox Corp.
Previously, he had served as Senator Joe Bidens chief of staff and went on to head Bidens 2008 presidential campaign.

FOX has gone full retard. no, in reality, they have made, so it seems, many very smart money and bottom line moves. Such a tragedy.

I am thinking that Tucker Carlson is going to follow Hannity out the door when his contract with Faux News is up. Hannity's contract is up in 2021, allegedly. I think that might be too far away to do any good. The need is urgent and now for a new platform.

Fox thinks they can have a viewership when they're universally despised. The left has always despised them, now everyone is starting to despise them. Who exactly do these FKN IDIOTS see as their target audience?
I think they will stay away from the hardline idiots that populate most of cable, and go with more genial dems, but dems nevertheless.
I think they are looking to pull in the Romney crowd, RINO and status quo.

Fox..... Hires Donna Brazile....... AFTER she rigged elections. Hires a Biden lobbyist. Bought out by DISNEY Fox is officially as far left as any of the other mainstream channels.
It kinda makes a little more sense, when you see those three factoids all in a row.

Im starting to think some Lib must have a collection of very disturbing pictures showing Lachlan Murdoch in a rather unfortunate manner. I don't know who this Lachlan is, but I think this is a natural outgrowth of the sons being liberals, and the dems wanting access to some of that power.

Slip sliding away to the uniparty channel, FOX.
With Disney et al in control, there is no chance for honest news from cable sources, network news or even the mom and pop (non existent) local provider. The Republic is then doomed to a sad end. I fear that we are at the end of our republican government, founded with faith in a protective Providence. watching over our brilliant Constitution and its wisdom. Dear God, help us.
The Communist radicals have sent their arrows, aimed well, at the heart of our Liberty.
We do need to revolt, in revulsion, against these evil bastards who have swayed our youngest to believe that slavery to communism is better than freedom.

OAN is up and coming. I COULDN’T BELIEVE the airport I was in recently had OAN on all the tvs. It was beautiful.

Each day another reality of the new Faux seeps out of their sewage plant. Faux will be worse than CNN in a few months re Fake News and total hatred of our President and those of us who voted for him.

I know that site, they used to link to oann. My deep hope is that some rich conservatives would scoop up OANN and build up a platform around them. Sigh.

I think they are looking to pull in the Romney crowd There is no Romney "crowd." Unless you're a Mormon living in Utah, who TF goes around in life liking such a douche? Romney/Bush/Establishment/Never Trumpers are only seen in DC/NY urban circles and old media TV studios.
They don't exist in any measure elsewhere. They are truly delusional, which is a major reason why Fox is bleeding credibility, money and viewers.

No, he was biden's chief of staff, menendez nj chief of staff and worked on a lot of campaigns, including Gore's. His dem connections must run very very deep.

Faux news is done, I read that Hannity is leaving when his contact is over. I am guilty of there being a lot of warning signs which I blissfully chose to ignore. I read the same thing about hannity's contract.

I don't get your reasoning and would like to understand. I do think Romney is doing a lot of dirt in the senate. He coyly didn't come out against Trump's EO until a lot of others did, so he didn't seem sour grapes.

Well, well....this certainly explains a lot....the hiring of Lyin Ryan and Brazile, the even further left lurch, since the end of last year....etc., etc. I think the pieces are only now becoming visible. I thought a lot of the misgivings were misplaced, but now seems like they weren't.
