Rupert Murdoch wasn’t born here and owes his citizenship to our Great Nation to the political establishment.

Should he have thrown in with Trump 100% and hammered “stop the steal” on Fox News, the WSJ and NYP?

Why would he do that?
How would it “pay” him?

Hello, perplexed.

Fox News, under relatively new management, has moved away from its former and well-known conservative tilt. As a result, many people who followed it loyally have switched to other networks, the President included.

The confusing part may come in when it is observed that the Fox prime time shows of Tucker Carlson, Sean Hannity, and Laura Ingraham are still there and basically the same as before. But these shows are the money-makers for Fox and have high viewership, which probably accounts for the fact that there have not been significant changes there. Most of the other shows throughout the day are now quite different from the way they were not long ago.

^^^ during the 2016 primaries Fox was preaching never-Trump. When it benefited them financially, they changed their tune (when they realized they had no choice but to offer fair reporting)

As soon as election night hit, their daytime reporting went back to their previous status quo... they have kept people like Carlson, but daytime reporting has done a 180.

Honestly, this is the republican party atm. Half liked the elitist globalist mentality and will obviously not change, and the other half despise that policy road and want actual conservative policies once more.

Trump is critical of Fox for it, for good reason really, but the divide is real within the party, and hoping to bring the globalists back to conservative stances was, I guess, a pipe dream.

So you have the "McCain" republicans, who should honestly just join the dems and stop pretending, and you have the "Sessions" republicans, and the "Trump" republicans.

I'm often more of a Sessions republican with Trump leanings.. lol.

Which would you consider Cruz to be? A ‘Trump Republican’?

Actually they tried to go back to their conservative roots. They are trying to leave the land of the unhinged far right. They want to be "Fair and Balanced" not "Vane and Insane".

Please point me to a good source that points out just why “globalism” is bad.
Thanks.

Oh, and forget the “GOP is Conservative”.

After accepting that “trade wars are good and easy to win!” (thus ditching the “free-trade” mantra of the preceding 20 years) as well as Texas fairly repudiating “States’ rights” by suing other States for faithfully following their own Laws, the GOP’s claim to be a “Conservative party” is on shaky ground.

Fox News had always claimed to be fair and balanced... seems like their viewers preferred a conservative tilt.

But these shows are the money-makers for Fox and have high viewership, which probably accounts for the fact that there have not been significant changes there. Most of the other shows throughout the day are now quite different from the way they were not long ago.

Fox News has always claimed to separate their "news" segments from their "opinion" pieces... it would seem that their attempts to maintain that separation have alienated some viewers -- but the echo chambers still get the ratings.
