no, faux won't change dramatically. they will keep being the GQP's propaganda outlet, they will keep lying, keep pushing their culture war bs, because that's what they were created for, and that's what they conditioned their unintelligent viewers to expect from them.
tucker's replacement might not be quite as craven, not quite as openly sympathetic to white nationalism, they might be more careful with outright lying about powerful corporations that could sue them, but they will fundamentally stay the far-right moral panic generator they are meant to be.
and to be fair, looking at how firmly a large part of america's poor and uneducated reject an improvement of their own situation, while unwaveringly embracing those that aim to exploit them the most, faux "news" has been a massive success story for america's conservative elite.

thats called weaponising the justice system against critical opinions
so there is total freedom of speech, but you might have the fbi or some lawsuit coming after you, when you dare to mention the fuckery during the election
we have arrived in the idi amin stage: "there is freedom of speech, but i cannot guarantee freedom after speech"
"weaponising the justice system", lol. the copium is strong with you faux's drones...
here's what actually happened: faux news lied. they knew they lied. we have proof of that. text messages. emails. they still kept pushing the big lie, because they didn't want to lose their viewers to even more radical stations. now they got sued by the companies they kept lying about.
they didn't pay an $ 800 M fee for having a "critical opinion", they settled a
defamation lawsuit - again, they KNEW it was a lie.
