The control of a media empire significantly influences its ideological stance and financial performance. The founder argues that transferring control to his children may alter the company's ideological approach, potentially diminishing its viewer base and overall value. Fox News exemplifies this, as it leads the cable news market with 2 million nightly viewers, significantly outperforming CNN and MSNBC. This success correlates with its substantial revenue generation, bringing in $3 billion, which is double what CNN earns. The discussion is not solely about monetary gain but rather the steering direction of the company itself. Despite the generational wealth already acquired, the focus remains on who will lead the future of the organization.
