Fox Fights Fiercely to Keep Its Employee, Tony Snow, in the Oval Office
            The corporate giant, Fox Entertainment, officially known as News Corp, with an income of $27 billion each year (it used to be owned solely by Rupert Murdoch), will fight fiercely to keep its employee, Tony Snow, in the Oval Office at the White House.
            What corporation with income over $27 billion wouldn’t do so? It doesn’t matter how effective Snow is for the President, but how effective he is for Fox.
            All the employees at Fox News, including Brit Hume and Chris Wallace know that, and it’s why Wallace was so gentle to Snow when he appeared with great fanfare on his show on Sunday.
            Wallace is a widely respected, television-journalist who cannot afford to anger the power structure at the $27 billion giant where he works. He cannot jeopardize his career.
             Nor can Hume, who still has enormous respect with television viewers even though the new power structure at Fox is obviously trying to move him out and centralize its power in the New York City office.
            Tony Snow has been working for Fox for years and will continue to do so after he leaves the White House. He could be valuable to them in many ways.
            Another insider at Fox is Bill Kristol who owns the Weekly Standard jointly with Murdoch. There used to be many notices of that fact on the programs where Kristol appeared, but that is never done anymore.
            Fox News is only a tiny crumb of Fox Television which makes most of its money from entertainment shows. The News division is undoubtedly not profitable, but it does create an aura of respectability for the company. The obvious desire of corporate executives is that it replace ABC, NBC and CBS, as the leading network and not have Brit Hume as the leader of its News division.
