The channel is called Fox News, but has nothing to do with news – news – and does not have to be assimilated to it. Let’s be clear: this is right-wing vaudeville, a show where ratings trump truth.

After years of declining sales, the waltz of editorial directors and cuts in the workforce, this former surgeon intends to relaunch the title and make it take the digital bandwagon. With a very ambitious goal: 5 million digital subscribers. A challenge while the Los Angeles Times account at the beginning of 2019 around 150,000.
