Now you guys may have heard earlier today that Rupert Murdoch, the head, the giant of Fox News

the man who brought Fox News to the masses and made it the number one rated cable news network in history

is stepping aside as the CEO. He's become Chairman Emeritus and his son Lachlan Murdoch is taking over as the Chairman

However, there's more news coming out of Fox News. Longtime host Brett Baier, who just recently hosted the Republican primary debate, has been extended

His contract has been extended through 2025. And it's interesting because a lot of people, as soon as they heard Brett Baier news, they're like

oh, he's fired because we've heard so much from Fox News recently about their talents either getting axed, getting 86ed

leaving on their own, that as soon as you hear one of their names, you're like, oh, he's fired

But no, it's the opposite for him. He will be staying with the network through at least 2025

So congratulations to Brett Baier. That's a big victory for him. And, you know, I think at least some positive news for Fox News

Now, there have been rumors going around that Fox News, in the hands of Lachlan Murdoch, some people have speculated

would actually wind up selling. And one of the names I've heard bandied about was they would sell to Elon Musk

I don't know if Elon has that kind of capital on his own after the purchase of Twitter

Obviously, he has the money, but you're talking about a lot of money for Fox News

I couldn't imagine what the price tag on that network would be. It's, again, the most popular, highest rated cable news network in the country

I can't imagine it would sell for anything resembling affordable. So, you know, of course, Elon can afford it

But does he want to leverage that kind of those kind of assets in order to have the liquid funds to purchase Fox News

It's it's it's it's very complicated. And, you know, will Fox News sell

I can see that happening. I absolutely can see it happening. I think if they did, it would be to a company like maybe a Comcast or something like that

But they don't have to. They're making tons of cash. They certainly don't have to sell anything if they don't want to

They have the best talk, the best show hosts in the country, the highest rated show hosts

They have the highest rated shows. They bring in the most ad revenue by far

They're not they're not hurting for money. They're well into the black

They don't have to sell. But I could see Lachlan, you know, being the guy that's like, hey, you know what

I don't want to do this the rest of my life. I'm going to sell this, retire, be done with it

I could see that happening as well. It's an interesting time for Fox News, definitely

So it is good to see Brett Baer getting extended. I think he does a really good job of being a fair and impartial journalist

And I think that is important. I know a lot of times we just want to hear our side of the argument

But fairness is important and getting the real news is important. Brett Baer is a guy that delivers that on a consistent basis

He's not in the opinion business. He's in the news business. And I have a lot of respect for him for that

And I think he did a great job at the Republican debate. At least made it interesting. It was hard to be interesting without without Donald Trump there

And Trump will also not be appearing on the next debate. We just learned that he's he's avoiding the next debate as well, which, again, I still think is smart

There's no reason for him to be there. He doesn't need to be there

He's winning by a lot. He has zero to gain by showing up for the debate

It doesn't make sense. So that's my opinion on this. Again, congratulations, Brett Baer

Are you guys happy to see him staying? Are you fans of Brett Baer

Do you just want opinion stuff? Do you not want, you know, fact-based journalism

Do you really just prefer some people just prefer the punditry and the opinions

That's fine, too. Are you one of those people? Let me know in the comments

Also, please remember to like, share and subscribe because that really helps us out
