Is Fox News Really Doomed?

Is Fox News Really Doomed? That is the headline of a story in NY Magazine (read it here), and they make it sound like Fox News will likely lose the lawsuit to Dominion Voting Systems.

I can’t predict what will happen in the lawsuit, and I’m not even going to try.

I think Fox News screwed up, and I think letting their big ego talent off any type of leash is going to cost them.

There is no doubt in my mind that many Fox News stars said one thing on air and something completely different off the air.

There was a time when this would ruin a news operation and kill a network’s credibility.

But do you think the hardcore Fox News viewers have any idea of what is happening?

The answer Is NO.

Fox News is not covering the story, not talking about the story, and their media critic is reading off of cue cards written by management.

Fox News stars have pushed the Trump talking point of “fake news” so hard that most Fox News viewers believe it.

Look at all that has come out, and you haven’t seen a blip in the ratings at Fox News.

Their viewers don’t care. They don’t care that Sean Hannity lied to them. They don’t care that FNC helped push a false narrative on the 2020 election, and they don’t care that there really is very little “news’ in Fox News.

People that think that this lawsuit will be the death of Fox News, are not paying attention.

You would hope that Fox News learns a hard lesson about saying one thing on TV while believing another when you're not on TV, but I doubt it.

Fox News may lose the lawsuit they may not. But, I can assure you, if they lose, their viewers will call it a “witch hunt” and continue to tune into see which non-white group Tucker Carlson is going to attack tonight.
