Actually, it would kill Fox News. Hannity, Pirro, Dobbs, Ingraham, Levine, could conceivably move over to Mark’s network or possibly OAN. The advertisers would follow because the audience would leave Fox too. Fox would have to compete against MSNBC, CNN, and the rest of the alphabet networks. That’s splitting an already thin pie thinner.
Fox dominates the ratings, it’s not because liberals are watching. I’m sure Levine could give each of them an ownership interest and they’d do quite nicely in time.
“The advertisers would follow because the audience would leave Fox too.”
The left is already waging war on advertisers on conservative shows and contributors to conservative candidates/organizations. Expect this effort to intensify. In addition the left will work hard to prevent OAN, or Levin’s network, from appearing on all cable systems.
If we truly had a free market there would be a conservative cable news network, a liberal cable news network, and a middle of the road “balanced” network. Instead we have two far left networks and a formerly moderate to conservative light network shifting to the left.
Failure to enforce anti-trust law over the past 50 years has resulted in media oligopolies which can ignore market forces. Truly markets require many competitors.
Why would Laura Ingraham leave? She seems to enjoy having leftist creeps on her show, and often lets them get away with murder.
