Fox Corp. Chief Lachlan Murdoch On Donald Trump Possibly Starting Fox News Rival: “We Love Competition” (Defund Fox)
Deadline ^ | 11/3/2020 | Dade Hayes

Posted on 11/08/2020 7:25:03 AM PST by marcusmaximus

Lachlan Murdoch, CEO of Fox Corp., said Fox News would welcome the arrival of a rival news and opinion brand led by Donald Trump if he is no longer president.

“We love competition,” Murdoch said in response to a direct question from an analyst about Trump’s future during the company’s quarterly earnings call.

Sound great but who would carry it? Comcast, Dish, any majors? I doubt it without those you are nothing but a podcast. I don’t think Trump inc has the kind of money needed to set up anything to complete with FNC or the others. It took Murdoch years for FNC to get a presence only to have his worthless kids destroy it.

I’m in. Btw, those who are tired of the bias shown by Facebook and Twitter should try Parler. I’m on it and think it’s great!

I’m glad you do like competition. You already have it but the audience wasn’t trying the alternative en masse, until now.

Lachlan ole boy, your ass is about to die on that Chris Wallace hill. Arrogance lad, is often expressed by those born with the silver spoon in their mouth.

Viewing recomendation

Absolutely no cable, there local access service charge($30) go directly to major broadcasters.

Get fiber from someone that is not you local cable company

Get an over the air antenna no matter what it takes.  OTA

       If you must watch something, BOYCOTT advertisers and let
       them know.

The only streaming like cable service to use if you must is philo.

       No MSM, no locals, no sports, no fox, no Disney anything
       Disney owns ABC, espn, fox (last year), Hulu
       Bankrupt disney.

Use OANN and Newsmax

Demand ala cart service on internet, media won’t allow it, tell them to .....

I give it 18 months before Chris Cuomo is on Fox News.

You heard it here first.

That would be awesome! President Trump should never concede regardless of court decisions and lawsuits. What he should do is obviously leave the white house at the appropriate time and declare himself the Real President, Donald Trump. He would have no authority but can actively continue to call the election a fraud and get supporters to fight and call out the cowardly Republicans, Democrats, Biden and the media. By not conceding the election would for all times be questioned.The media and the left would go nuts but they're always going nuts!

The Fox News ratings collapse has already started. Look at their ratings disaster from Thursday:

Something wrong over at OAN Encore, Newsmax and America’s voice this morning (I am using PlutoTV).
They are showing reruns prior to the election and other items. NOT mentioning the corruption!

Please confirm whether or not it is just me watching at the wrong time.

” I’m sure Hannity, Levin, Tucker, Jesse, Greg, Pirro and likely many others would join his lineup.”

Big problem is most of them will probably be ‘no compete’ clauses in their contracts that will keep them off the air for 6 - 12 months if they quit. Maybe they can make the move if they’re fired for not making the demanded left turn? But that would probably result in litigation, and what conservative stands a chance in court these days?

Sucks being them. Sucks being us...

We can’t target all of the media enemies and have major success. But if all Trump supporters targeted ONE of network conglomerates we could destroy them.

“ He also knows how the game is played ”

Eh... no he doesn’t. He’s pretending he didn’t just destroy his network. Which he did. Democrat voters hate FOX like they hate Trump and for the same reason. Always will.

He is insulting his twenty year loyal audience who has sustained twenty years of leftist insults in order to be loyal to fox. It was a relationship. He broke it up by perpetuating a lie and shutting down truth. A condescending lie.

Young people do not watch TV for news. They don’t subscribe to satellite. It is their Dan rather/ Walter Cronkite (not even in spell check)

I picture Murdoch shaking. Worse than dem operatives. Cigarette in hand as he pretends he is anywhere near Trump competitively. He inherited this business and in one day he sunk it. Hunter level. He might think corrupt entities will keep paying him but that is for sports teams and the NYT

Disregard previous post. NewsMax just now came on with information again about the corruption.
I was getting a little concerned there.

We love competition,” Murdoch said

This is pretty Funny!! He loves Competition so much he just Destroyed His Company, Alienated almost his entire Customer Base and is cheering as FOX News goes down in Flames before his eyes. I guess he can sit back and watch the Rest of the Competition as FOX news goes dark.

That’s what I posted Trump would do the day FOX called Arizona.

Hannity has got to make a decisive decision. The fallout is coming.
