Is the FBI investigating Fox News for ties to Russia?

(I'm posting this in Entertainment since Fox "News" is asmittedly entertainment. Also, since EVERYTHING in the USA is impacted by Russia's attack, there's nothing that isn't political):

What else would explain Fox's shrill, high anxiety, and unrelenting attack on the FBI? Is Murdoch in cahoots with Russian oligarchs? And therefore beating the "news" agency's drum in favor of Putin's favorite puppet?

It's entire viewing base is Trump voters. It's either act like they are now, or lose their entire viewership. They built the monster over the last few decades, and now they have to feed it or the monster itself will take them down.

about FNC being investigated by a counterintelligence unit. There appear to be intercepts that raise suspicions that FNC is coordinating their programming with Russian intelligence officers. Their specific target reportedly is Hannity.

Who would be shocked if this were true?
