Remember that FOX is owned by News Corp, which is in turn owned by Rupert Murdoch and his family. This means that much of what they do is in context with the British and its former empire.
Murdock likely favors the Conservative party in England, but their conservatives are our liberals, and they favor things such as internationalism, gun control, socialized medicine, and other abominations.
They also just overwhelmingly voted to eliminate the freedom of the press. So now, if you go down the American Bill of Rights, what they call “conservatives” in England despise most of them.
And this is what Murdock supports, and likely what FOX will eventually support.
Remember when Ted Turner created CNN? He proudly proclaimed himself a conservative, and the network really prospered. And while some say it was Jane Fonda who turned him into a leftist, I suspect he was one all the time, but was smart enough to realize that CNN would never amount to a hill of beans if it was as liberal as the other networks.
Something Al Gore was too stupid to realize with his Current TV channel.
In any event, as FOX continues its drift to the left, and it likely will, its ratings will start to decline, until it is just a shell, like CNN. And conservatives will be left with no conservative voice on television, as they were before FOX.
When Murdoch got in trouble in England for obtaining private emails (or something to that effect), there were rumors that he would also be in trouble in the US. The (conspiracy) theory goes that the Obama administration let him off the hook here in exchange for more liberals on Fox News and less criticism of the administration in general.
Just passing it along...
