Lachlan Murdoch is possibly even more horrible than his shitty father

It will only stay conservative as long as it is run by conservatives. I hope they are worried about stochastic terror.

so we’re fucked and brainwashed for yet another 50 years.

Yeah I feel this should be bigger news.

Trumps die, News Corp continues.

I think a more interesting question is why there aren't major US TV news sources between Fox News and the center, occupying the area that the three-more-liberal-kids wanted to take Fox News.

To the right of Fox News, you have upstarts One America News Network and Newsmax.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newsmax

During the 2020 United States presidential election, President Trump began to promote Newsmax over its rival, Fox News.[80][81][82][83] Trump's preference for Newsmax over Fox News became clearer after the latter became the first news outlet to call Arizona for Democratic challenger Joe Biden.[42] Newsmax has made their more conservative leanings a selling point to disaffected Fox News viewers, as well as employing Fox News alumni to join their lineup on Newsmax TV, such as Rob Schmitt and Greg Kelly.[42][84][43] Emily VanDerWerff of Vox reported that the outlet "spent lots of time arguing that other media outlets jumped the gun in calling the election for Biden and that Trump still has a path to win this thing", and that it was one of the only networks that didn't call the election for Biden, citing the Trump campaign's legal challenges. However, she did write that "Newsmax doesn't go full arch-conservative" and "doesn't give airtime to QAnon paranoiacs".[46]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One_America_News_Network

OAN saw growth in its audience as a result of its election coverage. It was boosted in particular by Donald Trump, who expressed disapproval of Fox News' reporting on the presidential election and encouraged his supporters to instead watch OAN or Newsmax TV, another conservative channel promoting election falsehoods.[150][151][152]

In the US, there there are a pretty broad range of media outlets on the left. On the right, things are considerably more concentrated. There's a bunch of data out there on this, but just to dig up a quick recent Pew survey:

You'd think that there'd be space for a center-right TV channel to the left of Fox News.

To your last comment. That’s not how cults work.

njm1314@lemmy.world on 15 Sep 00:39 next collapse

CNN is the center right network.

BanMe@lemmy.world on 15 Sep 02:23 collapse

MSNBC as well

If it’s not there already it’s certainly heading that way all right. Fast.

All religions are far right extremists. No free thought or speech, only their ficitonal god, and all their hate. Literally thoudands of years of history showing exactly that.

Bronzebeard@lemmy.zip on 15 Sep 01:43 next collapse

Not conservative. Keep them propoganda mills. The other heirs wanted it to shift to more reliable news.

DreamAccountant@lemmy.world on 15 Sep 01:51 collapse

As long as they are allowed to spread nazi propanda, there will be nazis killing your children, or doing everything they can to get them in their weird death cult.
