This is just a WAG and I will take a stab at it. I seldom watch TV (30+ years), so my opinion is derived from print/digital media.
Murdoch started Fox News and I still question their obviously deliberate misrepresentation. They are not a News channel, but an Opinion and Entertainment network. Yet day after day they dole out misinformation as News and dangerous opinions from scumbags like Bill O'Reilly and Lou Dobbs (and I am sure there are a lot of others). In doing so they have a very loyal captive audience. I know of several people who have their TV turned on all day to a single station, Fox News. I have suggested to some of them that Fox is Faux and they are not a legitimate News channel, all I get in return is a blank expression, they don't even understand what I am saying. They are that far lost in their alt world. An employee of mine recently that he has switched to Fox News because he likes what they are saying and this was during the BLM saga. So its the Mega $$$ that is driving Murdoch and now that they have cash cow in their hands, they have to keep feeding it to the faithful to keep them in their fold. Enter Hannity and Fucker Carlson who make O'Reilly look like a saint.
I have similar objections to private enterprises using the term University and IIRC, McDonalds started this nonsense with their McDonald's University, soon to be followed by Trump U and now Prager U. Wonder if the wingnuts even understand what the charter of a legitimate university is.
