A year ago, Fux Noise considered a breakup with TFG. 2021 changed those plans.
In the weeks before the 2020 election, as Fox News executives and luminaries came to terms with its possible outcome, some began to see in it a long-awaited opportunity - a chance to break up with Donald Trump.
Even the president sensed a growing distance from the network that was once so closely aligned with him. "What's the biggest difference between this and four years ago?" he asked rhetorically during an Election Day appearance on "Dumb Fux & Friends," skipping over obvious choices such as U.S. foreign relations, immigration policy or the makeup of the federal courts. "I say Fox," he answered. "It's much different now."
The sentiment was held most fervently on Fox's news side and in its Washington bureau, according to current and former Fox News personalities familiar with the dynamic who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss internal conversations. Many felt the network's identity had become too tightly bound up with its opinion hosts - some of whom had become not just on-air cheerleaders but behind-the-scenes advisers for a president adored by their viewers - at the expense of its old self-forged image as a "fair and balanced" news operation.
Yet the post-Trump era opened for Fox with a ratings drop that quickly prompted a recalibration of those 2021 visions.
