Media tycoon Rupert Murdoch, who has bolstered Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’s (R) national profile through Fox News and other outlets he and his family own, is reportedly losing confidence in DeSantis’s ability to defeat former President Donald Trump in the 2024 Republican primary, Rolling Stone reported.

The latest leaks from Fox News about Tucker Carlson — which have appeared to be set up by Fox Corporation’s board — were first obtained and written about by three New York Times reporters, two of which are MSNBC contributors.

The Fox Corporation’s board, comprised of eight members, including Paul Ryan and two Murdoch family members, was reportedly involved in Tucker Carlson’s ouster.

The Murdochs held a call with Zelensky where they discussed the Ukraine War just before Tucker Carlson was fired.

Tucker Carlson reportedly suspects that Rupert Murdoch’s children are looking to sell Fox News eventually and that it influenced the ending of his hit show Tucker Carlson Tonight, according to a report.

Rupert Murdoch has pulled the plug on a proposal to bring back together his News Corp. and Fox Corp., saying the merger isn’t coming at the right time for shareholders.

Former Democratic National Committee chairman Howard Dean said Thursday on MSNBC’s “The Beat” that Fox News was the brand of “hate” and even “murder,” which should result in the deportation of its founder Rupert Murdoch and his son and the current CEO Lachlan Murdoch.

David Plouffe, Democrat political strategist and former Obama campaign manager, said Thursday during a panel discussion on the 2020 election that the “most important people” in determining the direction of the Republican Party are Breitbart News and other conservative media outlets.

A social media rumor linking Lachlan Murdoch to cases of coronavirus in Aspen, Colorado, has turned out to be false. The rumor appears to have started last week with a tweet from a Johns Hopkins University professor, who alleged the

President Donald Trump on Thursday slammed Fox News Channel board member and former House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-WI) for the network’s negative coverage of his debate performances during the 2016 presidential campaign. 

Former House Speaker Paul Ryan, who currently sits on the board of Fox Corp., is reportedly urging Fox News to “decisively break” with President Donald Trump, according to a Thursday Vanity Fair report documenting the network’s “management bedlam.”

Former Speaker of the House Paul Ryan (R-WI) is joining Fox Corp.’s board of directors, the media giant announced Tuesday morning.

Democrat pollster Pat Caddell told Breitbart News on Monday that Fox News “needs to answer” for prematurely declaring November 6th’s midterm elections’ results while citizens were still voting in California and other West Coast states.

Hollywood director Judd Apatow went after the Murdoch family Thursday for Fox News’ coverage of the migrant caravan heading toward the United States, accusing the network of sowing “hate and division.”

21st Century Fox reported lower third-quarter earnings due, the company said, to a lack of Super Bowl revenue.

Bill Shine, who served as co-president of Fox News after Roger Ailes’ ouster, will part ways with the cable news network.

Sean Hannity took to Twitter Thursday afternoon to warn of a “total end of the Fox News Channel as we know it” in the wake of a report that suggested Fox News co-president Bill Shine lacks support from the network’s top brass.

Fox News Channel owner Rupert Murdoch and his family are considering pulling The O’Reilly Factor off air amid accusations of sexual harassment against prime time host Bill O’Reilly, according to a report from Gabriel Sherman in New York magazine.

Fox News star anchor Megyn Kelly discussed her future at the network in a sprawling interview with the Washington Post’s Erik Wemple this week — but again declined to rule out a move to a new network as she said she has “great options” when her contract expires in the summer of 2017.

Megyn Kelly has responded to reports she could leave Fox News for CNN, telling viewers not to believe anything that doesn’t come directly from her — but also not denying the possibility outright.

Sarah Ellison reports in Vanity Fair that although the Murdoch sons are eager to renew Fox News’s contract with host Megyn Kelly for her reported $20 million asking price, none of their network’s rivals appear interested in signing her. The much anticipated “media-wide bidding war for Kelly” has not materialized, due perhaps to the lackluster ratings performance of her “heavily promoted prime time interview with Trump.”

Sarah Ellison writes in Vanity Fair about the efforts of Rupert Murdoch’s sons James and Lachlan to renew the contract of Fox News’s “brightest star, Megyn Kelly,” who they see as a “big part of the future” of the formerly right-leaning cable news network, despite her “enmity” for the network’s other stars, Bill O’Reilly and Sean Hannity.
