Fox News will Not Stop with the Fear Mongering

With Rupert Murdoch finally stepping down as the CEO of Fox, don’t expect many changes.

Former White House Spokesperson and now MSNBC host Jen Psaki had this to say about Fox News minus Rupert, “Fox News, as this right-wing media juggernaut, is so much bigger than just one person. We've seen this over and over. Bill O’Reilly came and went. Roger Ailes came and went. Tucker is gone. And now, Murdoch is stepping aside. But it’s hard to imagine that Fox’s strategy of pumping fear of the other into the homes of millions of Americans will change anytime soon. They could put that genie back in the bottle even if they wanted to.”

She added, “But even if he never sets foot in his office again, he removes himself entirely -- which, by the way, I’m very skeptical of -- he's already created this right-wing media ecosystem that will keep functioning long after his departure, because over the years, Murdoch’s core objective has been to make Americans fearful of a constant shifting enemy, the other.”
