If Fox News wants to restore its cable news ratings dominance, changes will have to be visible far lower in its organization than what is being reported.
Though I was angry over its election night coverage and have been dismayed at the behavior of a number of its on-air personalities, I take no joy in the ratings crisis that seems to be engulfing Fox News. For all its faults, its reach, resources, and stable of outstanding talent like Tucker Carlson make it an essential voice in a nation with a media scene that is getting scarier by the day. There is no doubt in my mind that, if FNC disappeared or lost its cable system distribution, as at least one of its rivals seems to be advocating, conservatism would be in a much weaker position.
Yesterday, The Daily Beast published an article with four authors, one of them a departed FNC staffer who charged sexual harassment and settled for an undisclosed sum, claiming:

“Fox is not merely dead, it’s really most sincerely dead.”
From the article: they had a “niche” market that happened to be half the country but chose to be CNN-lite instead. Not the best business decision.
Who exactly is responsible for the worst business decisions since New Coke?
Cavuto, Wallace and boardmember Ryan, only then will I consider watching again.
Fox News, the Republican Party of news networks. When the heavy lifting is needed, they are hunkered down with liberals/socialists/communists. Once any ability to influence has past, they proudly crow about their devotion balanced news coverage. For the record, I stopped watching Fox during the Obama administration.
“Not anything they can do to EVER get me back”
Dat’s da one.
They believe going even further left is the answer. The left will ALWAYS see Fox as right-wing no matter what they do. Republicans who have betrayed the voters will find that out as well.
Notice Ryan and Cavuto were not mentioned. They need to fire woke lower level producers telling on air talent what to say.
I wrote a Dear John letter to Fox . . . hope you all enjoy.
“I am a loyal Fox viewer since October 7, 1996, the day you launched. For all these years I have held you as a bastion of conservative values. You were the channel I trusted and turned to while all the other networks went deeper and deeper into false reporting and biased Democrat/liberal leanings. I have been a loyal viewer until November 3, 2020 when you completely lost my confidence. Oh, it didn’t suddenly vanish on that day . . . it was a culmination of a number of years leading up to it. Liberals have taken your standard and threw down your flag of freedom. Shepherd Smith, Juan Williams I understood. They were liberal and part of your “fair and balanced” approach to reporting. Now, however, Chris Wallace, Brett Baire, Leland Vitter, Martha MacCallum, Neil Cavuto, Donna Brazil, Dana Perino, Jillian Turner, Sandra Bream and others have left what made your network great and have now embraced an admiration for fake news.
This is just a note to let you know that it doesn’t really matter how many top executives you fire in a ploy to appease me. I have gone to OANN and Right Side Broadcasting now to get my daily shot of truth.
So long, Fox News, I hardly knew ye . . .”
Fox can start with dumping Paul Ryan, Robert Wolf, Jessica Tarlov and a host of other libs who don’t have a logical arguments.
They betrayed us two straight elections. They need to be gone.
“Not anything they can do to EVER get me back”
Agreed
They abandoned their audience. Their time has passed.
Gimme my MAGA TV!
That I’ll sign up for.
I think they will make a little bit of noise about “fixing” the problem but I agree they will just keep moving left.
Nobody, even those on the left, ever goes far enough to the left. Eventually, everyone is a suspect.
FNC/FBN Chairman, Rupert Murdoch not only needs to dump Paul Ryan....but he must dump his family low life failures, Chris Wallace, Neil Cavuto, Donna Brazile, Chris Stirewalt, Arthel Neville, and a bunch of other FNC/FBN liberal losers if FNC/FBN is ever to be “King of the Hill” in Cable news TV viewer ratings again.
Democrat, Criminal, Corrupt politician, Joe Biden will be a massive failure as POTUS...he never made an executive decision in his entire life and Obama. left him empty handed with a team of worn out total losers.
Fox can regain its number one powerhouse slot, but, only if the older Murdoch does a slashing brutal number on his liberal scum and vermin low life!!! We the 75,000,000 Trump voters are watching!!!
If Murdoch fails to act like tomorrow FNC/FBN will slowly die!!!
It seems Fox forgot what brung em'.
The tragedy would be for Faux News to continue on as just another Commie News Network while everyone there wore "I'm a Conservative Patriot to the Bone!" T-Shirts and Donald Trump Facemasks.
Fool Me once .... Fool Me twice ....

FOX News is the same station that hired Buffalo Donna Brazille.
Since online and phone app advertising passed television advertising, (Youtube alone had more advertising dollars than all of television broadcasting in 2020), it was inevitable that FOX was going to shrivel to nothing. Watch for firings and salary reductions.
RBSN is damn good also
