Don't pretend corporations have political leanings beyond "make money". Fox News isn't conservative because it owners are conservative but because it gives them a huge demographic of viewers. If they had reason to believe that being more liberal would make them substantially more money, they absolutely would.

They do that same calculus for all their properties. Fox the broadcast channel basically made its start as the irrelevant, edgy channel with shows like Married With Children and the Simpson's. That is their market. So they stick too it.

Maybe. That wasn't really what that post was about tho. All my perspective on big companies is along those lines. That's part of how they get there. They don't let morals messy things up. If they did decide to try to thrive on the opposite side, they'd definitely have to gut the whole operation. But people would love the idea of getting their liberal views on Fox, so they could probably easily get a new team.
