By Colby Itkowitz Colby Itkowitz Congress, campaigns, health policy, Pennsylvania politics Email Bio Follow March 19 at 12:22 PM Former House speaker Paul D. Ryan has landed his first post-Congress job as a board member for Fox, the new parent company of Fox News.Ryan , who retired from Congress last year citing his desire to spend more time with his family, was named to the board Tuesday.
The once rising star of the Republican Party has kept a relatively low profile since leaving Congress, his legacy forever intertwined with the rise of Donald Trump and Ryan’s reluctance to challenge Trump. Last week, Ryan reportedly told a crowd during a lecture in Vero Beach, Fla., that the Democrat who defines the race as one about Trump and Trump’s personality could beat him. But he quickly backtracked on Twitter to clarify that he believes Trump deserves to win.
“To be clear, GOP wins elections when they’re about ideas not when they’re personality contests like Dems & media want. We’re clearly better off because of @RealDonaldTrump,” Ryan tweeted. “His record of accomplishment is why he’ll win re-election especially when compared to Dems’ leftward lurch.” Ryan will serve on the seven-member board along with Murdoch, Fox’s founder, and his son, Lachlan Murdoch, Fox’s chairman and chief executive.
Wait Fox is the owner of Fox News? When and how did this happen? It makes absolutely no sense!!!
Oh my god!!
maggieNYT If he can't sink them, nobody can.
Perfect.
maggieNYT What a sick puppy. Greed & money are his gods. Never cared once for the American people. What a loser in life & humanity.
No way!. .ha,ha,ha...so much for the kids, huh?
maggieNYT Ah, we all knew he was destined for greatness.
Oh my god
Disgusting man.
Just call it CNN2 and get it over with. RaceToTheBottom
Blech, proof they are propaganda wing of the deep state.
It's really just an internal transfer - he has been moved to head office after years of grafting in the regional offices...
But wait—I thought he wanted to spend time with his family
Of course he did
Fox has gone DeepState
maggieNYT OMG!!!!!
Free tickets to Disney... maybe?
What new parent company?
I am shocked. Shocked, I tell you.
Oh great !
Nice payoff for shutting down the government
The payoff from his owners.
The two camps are in bed together
🤔 thought he left because his kids were growing up & needed to spend time with them. But maybe the kids said FakeNews cc oldmcdonaldbear
So that is what they bargained for when they gave the rich the tax cuts. Ryan made the deal and then jumped out before the tax dollars hit the taxpayers pocket. He now has the cushy job and don't have to worry about taxpayers voting him out. Wonder what other scam they got.
maggieNYT Must have been an opening in the spineless division
Not surprised but think it's scary
maggieNYT Shocker
ckkoch3 WH & Fox News are definitely playing the game of “Pass The Trash!”
maggieNYT Good let Fox and their friends have him PaulRyanIsUseless
Not surprising at all
Now it all makes sense.
Who is surprised. Now Ryan can kiss trump’s ass on TV.
maggieNYT Is anyone surprised?
Transforming FOX from the inside out. Wondering how strong he will be standing up for conservatives here.
It is a plus for Trump’s long arm in Fox.
There’s a surprise.
pathetic
Slime attracts slime
They should call Ryan 'republican jam'...cos you can spread him which ever way you like...
So he got a government job.
Good! Maybe he’ll be in Wisconsin less often!
Paul who? MSNBC maddow
maggieNYT EboniKWilliams julieroginsky KirstenPowers finneyk We are not surprised here are we
Birds of a feather....
He'll be right at home with Sheppy and Geraldo
Better known as the propaganda arm of the GOP...
👎🏻
At one time I may have thought he would be a voice of reason among the despicable,but he’s proven to be just another despicable.
Explains their swerve left. Ryan belongs in GITMO.
maggieNYT Feeding a firmer swamp creature.
Oh brother! Too much snow in Wisconsin and he missed the limelight. 😅
They're going to find out that math isn't the only thing he knows nothing about.
Flush shit down a ticket, it lands in the septic.
Fox is an anti American organization
atweetor Hahahahahahaha
Ohhhhh I can't wait to hear danpfeiffer's commentary on this.
Well, there's his payout for America's Great Screw.
To do WHAT?!? I mean, other than cheerlead fascism, lies, and treason.
That was a short-lived 'I want to spend more time with my family' decision from Wonder Boy & Mr. 'Why can't we be more civil?'. Yes. FauxNews is a paragon of civility. Maybe he can also do a bro' show with Tucker Carlson?
Of course. Nobody else would hire him!
the little boy sold his soul to work for FoxNews. what a petty little man.
Hope they have braces to prop him up with that loss of his spine issue.
Would have thought they would have found someone who had a pair.
Fox.....where all the Traitor trump skeltons go to gather dust......
Did someone write his resume and cover letter for him?
Congratulations?
Yuck. Perfect place for this jerk.
Another reason for Fox to go down the tubes
Gross.
Job pool must be short.
Alllll out of SHOCKED face. He OWES the American people a REFUND!!!!!!
Now, he is out of hiding. That's what we have been waiting for him to do.
Another looser with shepherd and Juan and Bret
maggieNYT Shocker
FAKE NEWS!!
Surprise, Surprise, Surprise!
Good job Paul. You are a real winner.
hrcsupervol01 Of course he did. Was able to keep all those donations for passing the GOP TaxScam bill too when he retired.
maggieNYT What an ass.
Yuck
Surprise?
GayleellisLydia Shocker.
Again?
maggieNYT Wow! The snake is in a lot of pits.
maggieNYT Of course...its either the re-election campaign or faux news. No one else will have them
maggieNYT You’ve got to be kidding me? State TV just got more Pravda
Well now, there’s a shock!
Of course he did! Dracula right at home.
Of course. Ryan gets his payoff.
Interesting. I guess Fox CAN hire them all. 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
THIS IS NOT DISNEY-FOX..JUST A NEW COMPANY CALLED FOX WITH THIS WEASEL PAUL RYAN ON THE BOARD. BUZZARDS STICK TOGETHER. FRMR GOP SPKR BOEHNER IS IN THE 'WEED' BUSINESS, NOW SPKR RYAN IN INTO FOX TRASH....
Shocker.
Not a fan....
maggieNYT Coward
Gross
maggieNYT Figures. He’s just their ilk.
Paul Ryan finally comes out as Russian puppet.
Trumpanistas will see this as a move to counter fake mainstream media. Trump will continue to rail against 'fake news' and his followers will cheer all the while sucking down fox news propaganda.
Geez didn’t see THAT coming!!!!
We have the President constantly tweeting of fake news from the mainstream media. He tweets of a biased unfair disadvantage to his privet agenda.I have never seen a tighter GOP relationship than with Fox. The Democrats don't tweet 'SEE ME ON CNN IN AN HOUR' GOPdrama television
Another reason to never watch FOX
The lower down you go the richer the reward. Did you cure the king’s piles? -Chuangtse
As I’ve said since he announced his “retirement.” He’s distancing himself from Trump so he can return as the poster child for the GOP.
Whopee
No surprise.
Surprise surprise surprise. He is in the perfect place for a man of no backbone or character.
I don’t see how this decision directly furthers his previously unyielding efforts to take food out of the mouths of elderly people. zombieeyedgrannystarver
Um....Why? His intelligence? Nope. His sparkling personality? Not that. Ummmmmmmm......still trying to figure it out.
Pigs lose one trough, they just move to the next one.
Of course he did!!
maggieNYT Cuddling with his handlers means money in his pockets
What a surprise, huh?
Well that makes it even more the “STATE” news station!
Wore out his welcome in Janesville?
VoteEarlyNow Frankly, FPR.
trumptv
What a shock!
What a fucking surprise.
Fox will be a CNN by election time
🙄
He got what he wanted by enabling the traitor in the Oval office.
Of course he did.
maggieNYT And we are surprised, the guy is a parasite looking for any handout he can get
Surprise, Surprise ... what a sleaze ball! Just parking it until 2024. That of course is assuming realDonaldTrump isn’t in the slammer by 2020. He also would want to give patriotic Americans time to forget how disloyal he and his fellow MrT supporters have been.
DonnaThorson Shocked. Shocked i tell ya. 🙄
This half with should be invited to a board seat? I know it's only Fox but, what could he offer; be even more ignorant, racist and treasonous?
Paul the Pathetic.
Law of Attraction always in operation...
maggieNYT How didn’t I see that coming?
With Donna brazille!!ha ha ha
maggieNYT Another venue where Paul can be incompetent. 🙂
His first job with Fox is to strip healthcare away from all their employees.
SpeakerRyan are you that desperate to go into obscurity? Worst career move ever.
Probably no other networks want him due to his “tremendous record of success” on Tax scam to please Trump & his new swamp! No where but right wings propaganda Fox! Shame on GOP!
maggieNYT Scum seeks its own level.
Match made in the Trumpiest of swamps ever.
maggieNYT Here is his reward for those tax cuts and stalling any oversight
maggieNYT Haha!! Called that one year ago!! I won $10.00!!!
Who forced him into taking this job?
maggieNYT Money talks, bullshit walks!
They all tend to retreat back into the hive mind once their mission is fulfilled, don't they?
Great he will be as big a failure there as he was in Congress.
Well garbage has to go somewhere.
maggieNYT I am curious about that reward campaign money the Koch family gave Paul Ryan for his help on approving the tax cuts for 2% & Corporations. Where did the campaign money go or where did it now (as he is going to join board of Fox) CNN FBI ewarren FoxNews
maggieNYT Gross, look like the slime came home to roost
Surprised? SpeakerRyan joins Fox, where he will attack SpeakerPelosi. Because, you know, “love of country and respect for the rule of law.”
Makes sense. He's been working for them for years anyway.
Ewww
maggieNYT Restocking the swamp. Nothing to see here.
maggieNYT Attracted like a fly to 💩!!!
maggieNYT Why and how do these alleged crooks and liars and seeming traitors, always seem to land on their feet with bonus pay and stock options?
maggieNYT 😂🤣
LMAO this is exactly what spending more time with your family looks like huh.
There are all kinds of PAYOFFS. This is just one more.
Shocker
Of course he does. 😑
God help us.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 The world is s**t. SendPuppies
In his defense, he never wanted the speakers job, he was literally drafted.
of course, propaganda TV
How did this guy get any job after his last?
Ask if we are surprised.
SpeakerRyan (you really need to change this): just when I thought you could not lower and disgrace yourself any further. You WILL be remembered as THE WORST SPEAKER of all time. Live with that.
Gee, what a surprise.
Anyone surprised?
🙄
Of course he did. Lyin’ Ryan.
maggieNYT Paul Ryan, do you need money so bad that you would work for Fox?
How low will PRyan go? We have our answer....
maggieNYT
maggieNYT Widening the Fox circle jerk.
I thought he already had been working for Faux News while ostensibly representing the folks in Wisconsin?
Oh boy, get ready for armchair journalism a la Ryan.
He can help them increase their debt load to an unmanageable ammout.
May he be blessed with everything he deserves
maggieNYT Swampy af, amirite? 😂😂😂😎
Oh for God’s sake...please wake up America. I am sick of watching American values burn while Republicans fiddle.
Now do former senior Clinton aide and White House correspondence director George Stephanopoulos as chief political correspondent for ABC news.
maggieNYT He will be a perfect fit.
maggieNYT What’d ya expect from a trump bootlicker?
Why😩 Paul Ryan is terrible!! 🤮
SMH
That sox
He would be a much better fit on CNN or MSNBC.
Why do cons call CNN the ClintonNewsNetwork but gloss over Donald Nixon's hiring, endorsement and advertising of all things fake FoxNews 🤔?
So he continues in trump’s administration!
OF COURSE PAUL RYAN JOINED FOX FAKE NEWS(AKA TRUMPS PROPAGANDA MEDIA)BY TRUMP & FOR TRUMP STATE OWNED ENEMY OF THE PEOPLE MEDIA IS HOW I INTERRUPT FOX
maggieNYT Paul Ryan - The Swamp King
Just like the old saying: pieces of shit flock together. Or something like that.
The big payoff...
What a crap weasel
maggieNYT Well just how low can he bow?
So Ryan will continue to undermine our democracy and protect his money. Disgusting
Fits right in! Loser! Didn’t accomplish anything while in office!
one can only hope he does to them what he's done the the United States.
maggieNYT What does he want to accomplish I wonder
Where else would he go?
what a huge surprise.
👹🤮🤥👹🤮🤥
So that’s why he walked back his negative comments. What a coward
lauhaim
maggieNYT Seems appropriate.
He was a Speaker if the House failure; wonder what he’ll be doing?
maggieNYT It's a revolving door between right wing politicians and Trump TV.
maggieNYT This should allow him plenty of time to spend with his kids, which was one of his stated reasons for not running for re-election... /sarcasm
Only place who want him
maggieNYT Of course he did. Who the fuck else would hire a deadbeat dad who was the most ineffective cuckold the House of Representatives has ever seen?
maggieNYT No one could have seen that coming
The big payoff.
Gross
This is so why people have to be skeptical of professional politicians. They use their office as gateways to their greed filled dreams and aspirations. Paul Ryan was one of the worst Reps of all time. Did not give a dam about his constituents. Prick.
SpeakerRyan is a pathetic little man
That’s perfect
The drought has ended and that swamp is full to the brim.
maggieNYT Couldn’t be the same Paul Ryan that always sadly lamented how divisive our politics had become, could it?
True colors.
Couldn’t get a real job I see.
maggieNYT Puaghhhhhhhhh
He will fail there too.
What a sap.
maggieNYT Time for all sane folks to BoycottFox and BoycottFoxAdvertisers
Well he sucked as Speaker .....................so Fox is in big trouble😁
Nobody should be surprised by this.
Brazile now this . . . Hmmmm seems the “right” is about to get a dose of what the left has been getting from msnbc. Taking notes?
maggieNYT Least surprising news...ever?
Apparently he's not through breaking the country.
maggieNYT Of course What a low life
maggieNYT
This is my shocked face: :|
maggieNYT Why Not,,SpeakerRyan deifntly create this product most adequate ,,We need truly free media House,,
Does he sleep on a sofa in the Fox offices?
The Grifterfication process is now complete.
maggieNYT Where he belongs - alongside the rest of the worthless, deceitful, right wing bigots!
maggieNYT proof that opposites don't attrack.
Fox news surrounding themselves with republican'ts
So ....... still working for trump and against America !! FakePresident PutinsPuppet TrumpCrimeFamily lockthemallup
Isn’t that predictable.
maggieNYT No Shit
maggieNYT So predictable.
Boy PRyan sure has fallen. He dreamed he would be POTUS & now he’s willing to do anything to stay relevant & make a buck.
As if I needed another reason to never watch FauxNews
maggieNYT Well, *of course* he does.
Nooooooo
jbruggers Big shock.
maggieNYT Perfect place for the weak traitor Ryan.
Confirmation that Fox is evil. 'News' my ass.
maggieNYT 😂
Speaker of Fake News now!
maggieNYT
He is human slime. I can see why they hired him.
That’s where he belongs Fox lol!
Another reason not to watch.
.speakerryan You'd best change your handle now, you sellout. How about mouthpieceryan, or selloutryan, or quislingryan?
No good rotten ccksucker
Revolving door. Fox News is a branch of the Trump WH.
No surprise here.
Yup he will be the backbone of FakeNews
While also collecting a government pension for life.
Time to investigate Ryan, everything connected to Fox News and Trump are usual bad news.
Gross. Another reason to never watch Fox.
of course....
Of course he does.
Collusion ....
With this and the Donna Brazile hire, proof that foxnews has sent conservatives to internet based news services.
'Paul Ryan joins Trump Administration' : there, fixed it for you. 🦊
Thinking this guy was done destroying the world was a bit too optimistic
Headline needs fixing: Fox buys what's left of Paul Ryan.
We need new media laws regarding conflict of interest. Fox news is the grossest, but pretty much all major outlets would be disabled by common-sense laws in this area.
Sounds about white.
Now THAT'S swampy!
Fox “News” is Republican State TV. It’s a propaganda machine. The tail wags the GOP dog.
What a surprise.
I'm glad that he's able to land on his feet in a new job.
That's why he never went against Trump. He knew he had a job at Fox when it was over.
TAIWAN Republic welcomes you
From politician to cable-tv. Predictable career trajectory.
Well...he did fulfill their No. requirement: not have a spine
He belongs there
I mean, yeah. That's, um, mhmm.
FakeNews
Nobody else will
shills gonna shill
This soft landing is exactly why Paul Ryan cowardly kept silent, avoided principled confrontation, and enabled Trump. He didn't want to offend abase that would determine his post Congressional golden ticket...
He has experience, staying in the sidelines and enabling what is wrong. Perfect fit for Fox propaganda!
Oh good! Fox didn’t have nearly enough radical Christian terrorists on board!
Well, I am just shocked.
Not surprised
In related news: Water is wet.
Was never really a fan of Paul Ryan as a politician, but I hope he does well.
What a surprise!
our govt is broken
