Over all the dumb shit that constantly comes out of Tucker Carlson's mouth, he's embarrassed to be associated with the same people who air Fox News.

If my employer was constantly pushing harmful misinformation and was consistently and blatantly racist, i'd go find someone new to work for also.

I can't imagine that that would be anywhere near possible. That would basically have to be Fox's call, wouldn't it?

I doubt it, i'd imagine he's under contract that refrains him from making this kind of move. If he does bail, that's a big blow as it's been consistently one of the highest viewed shows over the last 19 years on their network.

After broadcasting Family Guy on Fox for 19 seasons, MacFarlane said that Carlsons antics on Fox News has him rethinking Fox Broadcasting Company as the home for Family Guy and his other animated sitcom, American Dad! where it has been since its 2005 launch. Although its not the same division as Fox News, it is under the same corporate umbrella.

That's from the article, same corporation but different division, not sure I entirely have a full grasp of how television divisions and whatnot work.

I was laying in bed the other night watching Cleveland Show, just wondering what makes it so Fox News is so conservative yet all the shows are way more left leaning. To the point they insult Fox News directly. I was wondering if Fox News benefits at all directly from money those shows pull in.

Just FYI

Fox the broadcast channel and Fox News are both owned by the same company.

Family Guy is owned by Disney and is licensed by Fox. It was Renewed by Fox through the 22-23 season. So Disney would likely be breaking some contract to pull the show from the network.

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.

There was a Simpsons bit about this: Regular Fox airs all the raunchy, left-wing shows that are used to fund Fox News.

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.

They changed the law so Fox News could have bias and not have to report news from without bias

Going into this blind it sounds like he never liked it but stuck with Fox for the $. This is getting released now as he's probably in talks already with another company for the same or more money. I dunno though I didn't read the article or anything.

Nevermind. Apparently according to USA Today, The Fairness Doctrine wouldn't of applied to Fox News even if never got abolished or overturned. It supposedly only applied to paid news sources. It seems it was coincidence that the most Bias News Network started immediately after Reagan overturned it.

Probably insulted something from the 80s, if the 80s were a woman it would be Seth's goddess, but if it goes I suppose putting it on Adult Swim or TBS would be the ideal places and lol at that one guy thinking Comedy Central would ever be a home, Matt and Trey meant every word they said about Family guy in that one 2 parter all those years ago, that network is done for, I haven't seen it since the days of Workholics, Broad City and Drunk History, they must really be in trouble since Tosh.0 finally ended.

Regular Fox aka Fox Broadcast Network is still owned by Murdock. It could not be sold to Disney as Disney already own ABC and Disney was never going to be allowed to own two broadcast networks.

I haven't really watched the newer episodes either, but yeah, it definitely did lean ever further into "shock humor" than anything else, and everyone has been flanderized to the point of unrecognition. They even had a number of jokes insinuating that Peter is a pedophile.
