Fox executives are said to be fearful a shake-up is on the cards as Rupert Murdoch heads back to the US thanks to the COVID-19 vaccine, courtesy of the UK's NHS.
-snip-
Top of the priority list is to tackle the decline in ratings seen since Donald Trump lost the 2020 presidential election in November, insiders said.
Multiple insiders told The Daily Beast Fox News CEO Suzanne Scott and President Jay Wallace are both fighting to keep their jobs after taking the lion's share of the blame for the figures.
Fox has denied there is any truth to the rumors, issuing a statement that reads: 'Your premise is wrong. It is wishful thinking by our competitors.'
Sources said Murdoch and Lachlan are 'disenchanted' with the pair.

Two sources told the outlet former Fox News vice president David Rhodes has been tipped by Lachlan to take Scott's job with another source saying the Murdochs ''like Rhodes a lot'.
Sources said Wallace's job is also rumored to be on the line after the network was first to call Arizona for Joe Biden on election night.

I don't think this is real.
Oh, they might fire her.
But I feel Fox creating a narrative that this one person was the Big Problem, so that they can avoid getting rid of Paul Ryan, Bill Sammon, Chris Wallace, Sandra Smith, Neil Cavuto, and Chris Stirewalt.
To name just a few of the diehard Democrats and Democrat-allied corporatists that need to go.
By the way: Don't overlook Bill Sammon, just because he's not on the air. He controls -- and censors -- Fox News hosts and reporters. He's head of Fox News' DC "news" bureau, I think, and therefore is the Censorship Czar for all political stories.
He's the tumor you don't see, but which is killing the body.
But here's your sacrificial lamb.
Still, it's a pretty good LOL that they had to put this story out, huh?
More at link in title. <
F the Murdoch family. Enjoy Biden and losing money.
Cavuto is unwatchable.
“Daddy’s coming home, the house is trashed, chandelier is busted, windows are broken, there is a goat in the kitchen and the place reeks of puke, the boys got a lot of explaining to do”
Does Daddy have enough marbles left to figure up from down? Have my doubts, that and the entire story. Not that FNC shouldn’t be burned to the ground and start over.
Yep same here. Watched from day 1. Tried finding them thru sky news when I traveled internationally even (it worked sometimes). Dead to me now.
There is a U.S.A. outside of the northeast and the left coast.
It’s dead, Jim.
The walking corpse Rupert is no different from establishment Republicans. They don’t understand what keeps them in business - and they don’t care.
If the Election Decision Desk team, Chris Wallace and Paul Ryan aren’t fired. Lachlan’s wife isn’t told shut the hell up and a Rogers Alies-type isn’t installed to run things, Fox News isn’t coming back.
Roger Ailes is dead so who’s left to tell Rupert Murdoch what needs to be done?
David Rhodes? Ben Rhodes’ brother?
To DJT.
Kathryn Murdock, wife of Fox News owner James Murdoch, took to Twitter to celebrate Biden's projected win Saturday.
"We did it," Kathryn tweeted.
I guess they don’t have telephones in the UK. /s
.
Paul Ryan,Donna Brizille?
From what I’ve read Murdoch turned over control of Fox news over to his boys.
Their wives want to be included in the WOW parties so they push to have FOX news more like ABC,NBC, CNN<etc.
Well ya know what thee Murdoch boys, F-you.
He might as well stay home because thee is nothing he can do to get conservatives to come back to Faux. The truth is this collapse was James Murdoch’s plan all along.
In the spirit of “We’re all in this together,” we should help this America hating Trump hating us hating skunk with his effort to destroy what is left of Fox by not watching a single second of it.
Amen Josa, run don’t walk away from FOX, haven’t had it or the local affiliate on since October. Life goes on.
