Little will change at Fox News under new leadership, analysts say, as Republicans can rely on yet more outrage and division
The abrupt uncoupling of the Republican kingmaker Rupert Murdoch from his Fox News empire may have represented a ground shift in the media landscape in the US, but politically at least, very little is likely to change, analysts say.
That could be good news for those on the right of the Republican party, who can expect the network to head into the 2024 presidential election – even without its long-time figurehead – continuing to amplify the worst of the political bias and disinformation upon which it made its name.
“They’re going to continue the same business formula, which is whipping up hysteria around manufactured crises. They’ll continue to foster outrage and division, and gin up support for conservative causes. I don’t see any of that changing dramatically anytime soon,” said Victor Pickard, professor of media policy and political economy at University of Pennsylvania’s Annenberg school for communication.
Yes, there’s evil capitalists everywhere, but America gives them the means to thrive.
australia does also, so okay.
Then why did they go to America? To not use your lax system with access to hundreds of millions more people to exploit to make them billionaires?
I’m not sure what that question entirely means, but yes. The population of australia is about half of merely California.
