Lou Dobbs from Fox Business Network nails this outline 100%:

Unrelated yet interesting – Is anyone else noticing that Fox Networks, well, actually Roger Ailes, are hedging their bets on Donald Trump?

While the primary broadcast Fox News Network is essentially a non-stop anti-Trump propaganda machine, heavily invested in the immigration amnesty angle, currently promoting Marco Rubio because Jeb cannot gain traction, it appears Roger Ailes has made a strategic decision to allow pro-Trump speaking on Fox Business Network.

Ever since Donald Trump began leading the polls, and immediately following the obvious fact that viewers supporting Trump were immune to the previously successful candidate propaganda deployed by Fox, OANN News began taking serious amounts of Fox viewers in markets were One America News Network is available.

In response, in the last 2+ months (Nov/Dec), an uptick in favorable content on FNB noted toward candidate Donald Trump. Fox primary network maintains 85% negative coverage, but Fox Business Network with favorable coverage. This nuanced shift reeks of Roger Ailes trying to play both sides of a ideological coin.

Aile’s trying to protect his primary investment in little princess Kelly, and simultaneously appease the ideological moonbats, Murdoch’s kids, cannot allow Donald Trump in favorable light upon the centerpiece of Fox Broadcasting lest he offend ownership.

However, Ailes is not stupid to the reality that Donald Trump has Sampson-Like strength in media markets and so he tacks the lesser network (which is still in developmental/branding stage) to be more pro-Trump centric.
