"Hannity’s decision to bound up on stage effectively made him a part of the Trump campaign and further wed the channel and the president. And, like any married couple, Fox News and the White House have started to resemble one another. The West Wing contains various factions; so does Fox. Baier and MacCallum are like Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump, projecting a reasonable mien and moderate opinions, while Hannity and others lean toward the extremes.
The day before the midterm elections, Rupert Murdoch, whose family controls the company that owns Fox News, stopped by Baier and MacCallum’s practice session. “Rupert is at heart a newsman, and he likes to know what is going on,” Baier said in an interview.
The Murdoch family has its factions, too. Hollywood spotlights circled outside and occasionally highlighted the office tower from which Murdoch and his son, Lachlan, watched the channel’s coverage with a small gathering of senior staff. James Murdoch, who has told friends he is embarrassed by much of what appears on Fox News, did not attend.
As the network prepares for the 2020 presidential campaign the question is: Will Fox survive as a house united?"
