> Fox and Breitbart have both lost key leaders due to death. (and other causes) They are both rapidly transitioning to the views of typical reporters (journalism majors), which will soon put them on the left. Viewpoints are set by media owners, not line workers, and the entire corporate media has a corporatist conservative pro-capital bias. To the extent that ends up sometimes favoring Democrats, well, the dominant faction of the Democratic Party for several decades (since the 1990s, at a minimum) has been corporate capitalist conservatives. Anyhow, Fox and Breitbart aren't moving into the left or even getting closer to centerpoint of the mainstream corporate media; they just aren't moving further to the Right as fast as the Republican Party is. |

Yes, there are new owners, but those new owners are not putting forth the effort required to enforce a viewpoint. It takes real effort to keep the line workers from setting the tone.
Walmart used to be all about stuff made in the USA. Sam Walton died. I'm sure he spins in his grave.
The same goes for media companies. An original founder with a vision dies, and then things go off track.
