Media corporations are, well, corporations.

Their owners, executives, and higher-ranking employees are rich, or at least affluent.

If non-conservative Democrats ever got full control of the Democratic Party, and that party ever got control of all three branches of the Federal Government, then taxes on corporations and on wealthy, and even merely affluent, individuals would probably rise.

Roger Ailes was Nixon's toady and started Fox News with the specific goal of never letting a Republican get thrown out of office again. So, Fox is a direct result of Nixon.

Yeah but many of them only turn out for the orange monster. If he's not on the ticket they are going to loose interest. Grandpa Fox-mainliner, however, is another story.
