Ryan’s observation is noteworthy given his influential position on the Fox Corporation Board of Directors. Ryan has been a member of Fox Corporation’s board of directors since March 2019 and is currently the committee chair for both nominations and corporate governance.
According to Fox Corporation, he has the authority to establish broad corporate policies, set strategic direction, and oversee “management identification and management of risks” in his role. Fox News and Fox Business have both covered Ryan’s political opinions, but his wide and powerful influence has led some to wonder why his position has not been made clear to viewers.
