Fox News Unlikely to Change Partisan Tone Despite Leadership Transition

Fox News likely to continue its biased, divisive approach despite leadership change from Rupert Murdoch to his son Lachlan.

Legal issues over election misinformation damaging but may not substantially alter Fox's partisan slant.

Departure of Tucker Carlson indicative but not definitive sign of change at Fox.

Rupert Murdoch still influential despite transition to "chairman emeritus" role.

Larger political economy incentivizes Fox's right-wing positioning regardless of Murdoch's day-to-day involvement.
