With Trump's Loss, Murdoch's Fox News Faces Wrath And Tough Choices
NPR ^ | Nov 7 2020 | DAVID FOLKENFLIK

There may be no media figure more important in preparing Republicans and President Trump himself for a post-Trump period than magnate Rupert Murdoch.

Among his properties, the top-rated Fox News Channel stands out, its role in shaping conservative thought and Republican Party politics unrivaled, at least within media. Murdoch allied himself with Trump despite holding the former reality show host in low esteem. And Fox has been one of Trump's strongest sources of support. So how the channel presented Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden's rising election fortunes matters. Deeply.

On Tuesday night, Fox News became the first major news outlet to declare that Biden would win Arizona. An angry Jared Kushner, the president's son-in-law, dialed Murdoch to demand he reverse the network's call.

Judge Jeanine said on Twitter that Fox fired her.

Other than a few opinion hosts like Levin and Carlson, Fox has sucked at least 15 years, if not more. The “news” part of Fox is just another vapid lamestream McNews pablum cannon like CNN, PMSNBC, etc.

FOX, SEE BS, NBC, MS-DNC...

All of them are part of the coup. By baraging President Trump with wins and loses, the President is supposed to see the hopelessness in fighting and concede. When he doesn’t concede, and he won’t, they will belittle the deplorables continuously.

I will watch Newsmax that streams free on YOUTUBE but FOX will only be seen when BCP or Mark Dice makes fun of the DimWITS.

1. Trump won
2. Conservatives boycotting Fox has nothing to do with a supposed “Trump loss”. It has everything to do with Fox fraudulently calling Arizona for Biden before it could be properly determined. Plus Fox putting in the smarmy,insufferable Chris Wallace to cover the elections.

Great and I am happy conservatives have another option. President Trump went on all the MSM Networks because he understood he was in a war of ideas with the Progressives. It was never about ratings. Since the “elites” are much smaller in number than us “deplorables”, they can survive on small ratings since they control the narratives in the media and culture. They are the evil shepherds to the sheep that they need to maintain control. God bless President Trump.

Seems to me that, going forward, we have too many news sources all saying the same things here. CNN, MSNBC, Fox, all speaking in unison. Almost redundant, doncha think?
Lot of layoffs in the news profession lately - time to thin the herd.
I'm sure a lot of media brass are thinking the same, but what to do? Suck up tighter to the new administration?

That’s NOT what they, or any media’s role should be. Remember “we report, you decide”? Seems like so long ago.

Murdoch made a serious mistake this time. He should sell his stock while he can at least get a few dollars before it becomes penny stock. This time we don’t go back.

Maybe Trump can pick it up for pennies on the dollar, that’s the only way I would watch them again.

LOL! Reminds me of those odd drawings with the stairs that go nowhere. Can’t remember the name of the artist.

A conundrum for sure.

At one time I had a healthy radio addiction listening to Laura Ingraham daily on Fox Radio. Then Laura switched to only TV and I could stomach that but sill longed for the old radio show. I am weaning myself off the 10PM Laura Angle show but once I catch they are censoring her or dictating her content I am done and I suspect the powers that be are changing her content.

I don’t watch Brett Baer anymore and don’t usually watch Tucker Carlson.

Glen Beck today on his radio show made an open offer for Tucker to come work for Blaze TV.

When that woman rolled her eyes and said “what’s going on we already called it. “ I disconnected my cable box and just got to returning it today. I kept the internet and dropped cable. I noticed two other people in their returning cable boxes as well !
