In an unexpected turn of events, former Fox News host Megyn Kelly has revealed a new nickname for the once-popular conservative news network amid the fallout from Tucker Carlson’s departure. The nickname, “Foxweiser,” highlights the perceived similarities between the struggles faced by Fox News and the recent controversy surrounding Bud Light and its parent company Anheuser-Busch.
The revelation came in response to a tweet from journalist Glenn Greenwald, who expressed his astonishment at the rapid decline of Fox News ratings since Carlson’s contentious exit. The network, which used to dominate cable news, has seen a significant drop in viewership following the ouster of its prominent host.
At the same time, Bud Light has found itself embroiled in controversy after partnering with transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney. This decision has caused a backlash from their core demographic, who feel that the company is pandering to politically correct narratives rather than standing by traditional values.
Despite being separate incidents, the two situations have become inextricably linked in the minds of many conservatives who see both Fox News and Bud Light as having betrayed their base. While Anheuser-Busch is a multinational corporation and can be expected to shift with cultural trends, Fox News has long positioned itself as the sole conservative-leaning network in a sea of left-leaning news outlets like CNN and MSNBC.
The network’s image has been built around being the tough, conservative voice unafraid to challenge leftist narratives. However, with the lack of clarity surrounding Carlson’s dismissal and recent allegations of untoward behavior within the organization, some conservatives feel that Fox News is becoming just as untrustworthy as its left-leaning counterparts.
Ultimately, the response to both Fox News and Bud Light’s recent actions serves as a reminder of the influence and impact true conservatives can have on major corporations and media outlets. Now, thanks to Megyn Kelly’s fans, conservatives have a unified way of expressing their dissatisfaction with both entities by dubbing them “Foxweiser.”
