The Trouble at Fox News Keeps Getting Worse

In the months after former Fox News chairman Roger Ailes resigned last summer, it appeared that the sexual-harassment scandal that brought down the powerful Fox chief would be short-lived. Ailes's abrupt exit didn't immediately create the chaos at the network that many — including myself — predicted. In fact, boosted by the drama of the election, Fox News registered new highs in ratings and profits in the second half of last year, and the network seemed to be finding firm new footing with unrivaled access to Trump and the success of Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly's replacement, in the key 9 p.m. slot.
