https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9165355/Fox-News-fires-dozen-staffers-including-political-editor-Chris-Stirewalt.htmlFox News has laid off one of its political editors Chris Stirewalt and more than a dozen other staffers as part of a 'post-election restructuring'.
Stirewalt, 45, who had been with the network for more than a decade, was part of Fox's election night team that correctly called Arizona for Joe Biden long before other networks in a move that infuriated Donald Trump and his supporters.
In addition to Stirewalt, at least 16 editorial staffers from the Fox News Digital department have been laid off.
Sources have described the Fox News lay-offs as a 'blood bath' initiated by editor in chief Porter Berry who is a former Sean Hannity producer, and appears intent on remolding the network to be more align with the pro-Trump views on Hannity.

Faux has the deepest pockets and the biggest investment in duping the chumps.

Seems this would have been inevitable. Fox has to take rabid trump fuckery even further...

I hope it all backfires on them.

They're not giving up their hand-fed audience after all this time and tending.

(64,988 posts)5. Their Pockets Are WAY Deeper
Faux is rooted in a $17billion corporation. D/E is around 0.8. Pretty strong financial position.
When the idiot kid made noise about buying OAN, the price bandied about was $250 million. Experts said that was 40% too high.
So, NC is approaching 100 times the size of the pipsqueak OAN.
I've never seen actual valuation of newsmax.
