A new owner swans in with a new team, picks some idiot who promises to peel the old white men in the suburbs off Pox and Newsmax and deliver them to either network, and trashes the news room staff. The vaguely liberal urban viewers who are the backbone of their demographic abandon them quickly as the reporting turns to shit, the advertisers notice the bad numbers and bail, there is a top management shakeup and things very quietly start to go back to normal.

I'm sure Mis Weiss will land on her feet and find some other corporation to fuck up.
