Rupert Murdoch’s 21st Century Fox has spun off various television assets — including the Fox News Channel and Fox broadcast network — to form a new company that will be known simply as Fox Corp. The spinoff completed early Tuesday is part of a multi-pronged process that will culminate with the $71.3-billion sale of the rest of Murdoch’s entertainment company to Walt Disney Co. The company announced that it had finished the process of issuing shares in the new Fox Corp. to investors of 21st Century Fox.

Has anyone ever asked Paul Ryan why he announced his retirement from politics shortly after DJT´s inauguration? The true answer is he was corrupt. Now was he corrupted by cash, pics, or some combination? Doesn´t matter. He was part of the swamp draining. Will he be a white hat or black hat on Fox´s board? We´ll see. Bottom line, most thinking, awake people don´t get their info from the mainstream media anymore. They´re dead. WWG1WGA! MAGA!

That is all we need to know to see what is coming next.
I wouldn´t advise anyone to buy Fox stock. This has to be the end of Fox News as we know it.

I stopped watching FNC in the morning, when I would get informed of what the world is doing today. This was due chiefly to Bill Hemmer. Aside from the leftist types, he was the most annoying guy going. Mr. Interuptus with a bad case of babble-on.

Ryan is joining Jeb Bush in the $400K no show director jobs. For the record, I despise Disney, in same category as Time Warner, AT&T, and Comcast. Now the entirety of media is controlled by the left, a great monolithic wall. Expect a plethora of prejudicial adjectives before every conservatives name, followed by derogatory disinformation. I hope no one buys Fox or Disney stock, or bothers with any of their leftist programming. National Geographic will be all about climate change. Fox will be all about the exciting new Democrat candidates.

RULE 9
You need to rethink who your friends are (Rupert), Jared!!
There is currently info online suggesting in email exchanges between Pence and Ryan, that there was a plan to eliminate POTUS-ELECT in order to allow Rule 9 to be implemented, thereby giving the RNC the ability to choose the president.

It seems to me that the Murdoch family forgets who brought them to the Dance. They made millions because we gave them the highest ratings of anyone for YEARS and years! But! All good things come to an end eventually and apparently that time has come. I for one have no problem turning off the TV, in fact, it´s off right now. It disgusts me to see them hiring a Cheating Democrat like Donna Brazil. It outrages me to find out a MUSLIM Producer is behind Judge Jeanne´s program taken off the Air (maybe it´s temporary, or maybe not). It seems the Muslims are in in control now and nobody DARE to criticize them or there is hell to pay. I´ve had enough. I would LOVE to see a New version of FOX, RUN BY CONSERVATIVES! I´m pretty sure Trump will boost their ratings during this campaign season. Time to turn OFF your FOX News channel and watch something else! Their ratings will plunge! So be it!

Good job Bros hiring a two faced idiot. Good Paul Ryan can take the plunge with FOX who are going down. I tried calling FOX all day, line busy and e-mail it wouldn´t go through. I hope their phones go down and computers! I said in my e-mail to the brothers Grimm that this is the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA not London.

Wake up. Fox News doesn’t want our viewership. They want to be like the rest of the left wing media. They are tired of being labeled Faux News by their peers. They did this to force us to leave so they could become one of many left wing propaganda news sites. They actually will take the hit in ratings to be accepted in the cool kids club. Just walk away and don’t look back. I hope the President ignores them and treats them like the rest of enemedia. They made a deliberate decision to alienate their viewers. We should return the favor and stop watching.

#13,
Did you mean One America News (OANN) on channel 616 (HD, Verizon Philly market).
I have been migrating to that channel more and more lately.
Not only is the reporting actually journalism, but the spots in between segments are actually refreshing and educational (not selling me gold or pillows, etc.).
Their website is available also (www.oann.com).
I called FNC on Monday, and actually got through after much persistence, and registered my disappointment with the Judge Pirro business and the hiring of DB as a "consultant".
I also let them know they are not scheduled on my DVR as regularly as even just a week ago.

I been trying to get my e-mail to FOX and it keeps rejecting saying my phone number is wrong? I also tried calling by phone and keep getting a busy signal. Could it be that many people are doing the same thing and their computers and phones went down? The better have their new board member Paul Ryan check it out.

There are probably more left leaning socialists on their roster than conservatives ... None are likable, believable or worth the money they are paid. And for Paul RINO Ryan to be the next shameless traitor is no surprise. Way to go ....go away ,FOX. See you on the ash heaps.

How many times have you seen a business passed down to the children fail? You can´t pass down a vision.
Most of the Conservatives that secured Fox their ratings, had already seen the writing on the wall, and have shows on radio, cable or on-line. These hosts will make the jump, and their audience will follow, abandoning FNC.

After the highly suspicious events at Fox News these last few weeks, we can now assertion with confidence that Fox News will be propagating against President Trump in his re-election bid, instead of supporting him. The few good MAGA people left will face a hard choice, whether to remain on the sinking ship or not. Unless they´re going to be laid off, anyway.
With Fox News gone as the most important and credible alternative to the Enemies of the People (MSM), a whole new era presents itself...

All the real journalist who haven´t become socialists should leave FOX and start their own network. I predict no one will watch the new RINO network. Paul Ryan can continue talking to himself.

I have whittled my Fox News viewing down to The Five and I only watch that show because I really enjoy Greg Gutfeld. I do watch The Greg Gutfeld show when I can, but enjoy his comments more so on The Five.
What with Juan Williams and the other Liberal idiots they have on the show, it shouldn´t be a terrible loss to forgo watching Fox News altogether now.
My cable company doesn´t carry OAN but if they did I´d stick to that station. The great thing is that nowadays we have so many more options rather than just TV stations. Of course, my very favorite site is Lucianne.com! Not only for the articles posted but for the enlightened and articulate comments from everyone who posts, so thank you guys!

Paul Ryan spent decades working to get our budget under control. Into the White House walked the self-described "King of Debt."
Frankly, conservatives such as Ryan are no longer welcome in a party in which adoration of a populist demagogue is a requirement.
His addition to the board of Fox is a good one. Perhaps, one day, the GOP will welcome conservative thinking again and will no longer fear the voices of others who disagree.
In the meantime, let´s all join around the campfire and pretend that the man whose policies have increased our trade deficits is really reducing them.
