It was one of the worst business decisions in cable TV history. There was so much potential risk for ratings disaster and so little reward. They were never going to gain more viewers by promoting Biden to Fox viewers and Democrat viewers. They didn't have the power to be a king-maker and make Biden win. So... WHY!?

So who was the fool who did it?

We still to this day don't know who at Fox made the decision which destroyed Fox literally overnight. Nobody has leaked the name. Can you believe that? At least with CNN we know it's Jeff Zucker. Who is at Fox?!

(If the Fox Zucker doesn't get fired, they have zero chance of ever getting back all the people they betrayed.)

They did not make this decision with viewer loss in mind.

This is information warfare in 2020.

This. The best business decision is pushing Trump as much as possible, the contested election as much as possible, keep people glued to the latest developments -- and they dropped the story immediately.

The news media is willing to destroy their entire business model to only support the democrats. They are finished.

They were already finished. An unstainable business model in an internet age. Commercials no longer finance the industry, foreign money does.

It's all about influencing public opinion. That is their purpose. Nothing to do with journalism or reporting.

The Deep State is willing to destroy the entire system to eject the only non-establishment president since jfk

They're running down the clock on open treason and shutting down the economy just to get OMB out of office and install literally anyone else, Fox news selling out is barely a sacrificed pawn.

It's not to support just the Democrats. It's to support the globalist Uniparty.

Weapons first, revenue last. Information is a weapon.

Yeah, they were always gonna move left. If they could help take down the President whilst doing so, all the better.

Murdocks daughter or wife said “we did it” with excitement on a recording after the election.

Wasn’t accidental, was part of a plan

Son's wife tweeted that. It's awfully hard going to Parties in NY if you like Trump. They have plenty of money they don't give a fuck if they sink the network I guess. Fuck all the people who work there they can show their faces in polite society again.

There is also an image of one of the Murdoch boys doing a high five after Biden supposedly won.

The fools were Murdoch and Sons.

It was Ailes, not Murdoch, who realised Trump was going to win in 2016.

Maybe it was the right business decision. Maybe they are earning more money by repeating the propaganda in spite of the loss of viewers.

Hell, I bet that for the right amount of money, you could reach a deal with a news outlet to only talk about sasquatch migration and mating behavior 24/7.

They were overly arrogant and truly thought their viewers wouldn't turn on them.

I have more disdain for them then CNN and MSNBC.
