This Week's Pulse

Fox Corporation recently reported fiscal third-quarter earnings that topped analyst expectations, following a busy week of executive appearances and programming announcements.

While the business side hits its marks, the network remains a polarizing fixture in political commentary. On Pod Save America, Dan Pfeiffer praised Pete Buttigieg for his ability to "stuff Sean Hannity into a verbal locker" during his appearances. Conversely, Anne Applebaum criticized the network on The Diary Of A CEO, arguing that "Fox's business model is to appeal to the right-leaning part of the American population and to... encourage them in their biases."

The network's influence on the MAGA base remains a point of intense focus for pundits. Tim Miller of The Bulwark Podcast noted the network's role in disseminating niche cultural trends, citing a segment on "ballmaxing" as an example of their current focus. Meanwhile, Megyn Kelly continues to reference her 14-year tenure at Fox as a lens for evaluating modern media and political shifts, noting that during her time there, there was "absolutely zero downside in Republicans saying that they are walking in lockstep with Israel."

As Fox moves into its 2026-27 season, the tension between its financial success and its role as a lightning rod for media criticism will likely continue to dominate industry discussions.
