Fox News' programming strategy is analyzed, specifically how Tucker Carlson's anti-Big Pharma stance is "sandwiched" between pro-establishment hosts like Sean Hannity. The segment references the Dominion Voting Systems lawsuit and leaked text messages that allegedly show Fox hosts' private disdain for Donald Trump. The hosts argue that Fox uses Carlson to provide a "red pill safe space" to maintain audience ratings despite internal establishment leanings.
The hosts discuss the internal politics of Fox News, claiming the network is effectively "run by Democrats" through the Murdoch sons. They reference the dramatized mini-series about Roger Ailes to illustrate the shift in the network's direction. They return to the Nashawn Garrett story, noting the irony of a black man's vote being "stolen" in a state that flipped from red to blue.
An investigation into the funding of "The 19th" reveals millions of dollars from major foundations, including the Rockefeller, Ford, and Knight Foundations. A primary donor is "Quadrivium," run by James and Catherine Murdoch. James Murdoch recently left the Fox board due to disagreements over Trump. The hosts highlight the "media power" required for a small, new outlet to secure a premiere interview and have it carried by MSNBC.
