Fox Corp. CEO Lachlan Murdoch said Thursday he expects the cable channel's ratings to recover after a post-election dip.Stephanie Keith / Getty Images fileFox Corp. CEO Lachlan Murdoch said Thursday it is the job of Fox News to serve as the opposition to the Biden administration, stating clearly the political biases of a network that until 2017 billed itself as"fair and balanced."
"The main beneficiary of the Trump administration from a ratings point of view was MSNBC... and that’s because they were the loyal opposition," Murdoch said of the rival cable network."That’s what our job is now with the Biden administration, and you’ll see our ratings really improve from here." Murdoch's remark is an on-the-record acknowledgement of something that has long been obvious to fans and critics but never stated so publicly by the executive leadership itself — that Fox News is firmly aligned with Republicans and the right and intends to use its platform to fight against Democrats.
Many of the most notable hosts of Fox News and Fox Business Network also embraced the president's lies and conspiracy theories. Three of those individuals -- Maria Bartiromo, Lou Dobbs, Jeanine Pirro -- have been named inbrought by voting technology company Smartmatic over false statements they made while trying to cast doubt on the integrity of the 2020 election. All three of them have filed motions to dismiss the lawsuit.
TruthCopy Didn't take long for the lipstick to come off that pig.
Then Murdoch you need to drop the name Fox News & change it to Fox Propaganda. The news should always be the truth but that’s a hard concept I guess!
For a supposedly smart family , they are prepared to tie their wagon to the Republican Party. A Party in disarray , which has lost any focus as to its ideology, a proven inability to actually govern and a policy free zone .This won’t end well for Fox .
so even when President Biden is right they will say he's wrong ? That's not reporting the news , that's fake news !
its real easy - dont call urself news then.
So I guess now that Fox (Murdoch) has come out as official opponents to Biden’s administration, those journalists who are “fair and balanced” will be leaving (i.e. Chris Wallace, Neil Cavuto)?
Curious about the “loyal” part
Kind of like the Republicans stating that would make President Obama a one term President.
Nice to see FOX admit that it will not report News fairly & instead be in opposition to he President & anyone who agrees with him. Even if that's the majority of the nation.
Did anyone with a brain ever consider Fox to be an actual fair and balanced news team?
Fuck Fox
Well lots will not be watching fox , it should be taken off air dye to its inability to be fair & unbiased
They have been the opposition to America with all their lies and conspiracy theorist and they are a danger to our democracy
Isn't ther a bridge this little troll needs to get back under?
Apparently, he’s reading the ratings sheets and has discovered he’s losing on both sides of the aisle to the likes of MSNBC and NewsMax.
As a business/$ move. Not motivated by the needs of a country. Fuck FoxNews and all it’s disciples.
Everyone but trumpers knows Fox News is run by communists!
Sure, Fox will be “anti-Biden”......it’s good for business......it’s always all about the $$
What do you call CNN and MSNBC, one sided? Give me a break...
Maybe he just enjoys getting sued for lies and slander.
Loyal (with blood on their hands)
TeamJakeAbbey 81 million of us do dot care what fox propaganda is pushing.
One minor positive of the Trump era They simply say stuff out loud these days No more whispering behind closed doors about real objectives Or dog whistles to the fervid masses
They are an entertainment network, not a news network. Their own words to defend the lies they use. They said so in a court room to defend themselves legally because of it.
Someone needs to give the other 50% of the facts so people have a chance to decide for themselves!! Too many libs are “experts” with only half the facts!!
EVIL Media is at it again. And you shall failed
Hey pot it’s kettle.
For Fox this admission is a sign of progress.
And did nothing to oppose the most cruel administration under Trump.
Who care no sane person watches that utter crap show, should be illegal for it to be called news, fake news yes!
Which is why I never watch
At least he admits it. Unlike MSNBC ABC CBSThisMorning cnnbrk who LIE !!!!
Telling us what we already knew.
Your ratings won’t improve Lachlan. More and more are switching off to your anti Biden narrative. MurdochRoyalCommission MurdochGutterMedia
Poison and divide the country. Effin lying traitors.
Fox News is the Neo-Nazi channel
Dillusional af
They are about as accurate and interesting as TMZ 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
He is free to say whatever he wants. The Murdoch family is not Americans and they appear to out to destroy our country. I hate the Murdoch's.
Hopefully Fox and the Murdoch’s will be sued into oblivion and the G7 declare the Murdoch’s as international terrorists and arrest them!!! Propagandists!!
Its YOUR Australian Boss aka Kieth Rupert the Bobbit Hobbit Murdoch Decision NOT Yours CEO Fox News Punk!🤬🤬🤬 FoxNews CNN cnni
In other words Fox news is fake news
Don't talk as if you had been on Biden's side even once. LOL
They stopped being fair and balanced way before 2017. I’m guessing its about the time when a black guy said he wanted to be president.
Disgusting and unbelievable. Go away, far away!
At least they're honest that they're a propaganda outlet.
You are not NEWS
Is that him in the pic...not with them highlights gworrrllll. nah is this you?
I guess they won’t even pretend to be unbiased news then?
BanFoxNews
F*ck FoxNews and the Murd(er)ochs!
So when your Fox friends tell you that they enjoy free true news you can laugh at them out loud. Clearly stated here the objective is opposition, not true balance fair reporting. We already knew this.
Well, at least someone has to show the public the other side of the coin, since everyone else in the mainstream media is only telling us one side of the story. Kudos Mr. Murdock.
bastard
Public enemy number one.
More BS at its best !
Just remove “news” from the name. I never watch Pox Views. They are a propaganda machine. I like AP and Reuters
Let me pretend to be shocked
So no more pretending to be news!!! FCC should make them change the labeling to “entertainment “
To be clear, Fox is a propaganda channel. There are no journalists there and they don't have any actually news
Oppose the Biden Administration. However, do it without outright lies, disinformation & conspiracy theories. Substantiated facts would be a great start. U might want to tell your opinion hosts Carlson, Hannity & Ingraham that. But truth doesn't get u ratings & $ that U care about
He's an IDIOT!!🤔🤬🤷♀️
A next ( - _&$+^¦|\\÷;§×NG) idiot!
Biden doesn’t need your ass! What you need to do is JUST REPORT THE TRUTH! You stood by and give Trump a soapbox to stand on and spread lies! None of your anchors called him out! You reported his lies! All your station is good for is sports! I use to like watching Fox News NOT!
Just like it is coronavirus’s job to kill people
