Fox News on Thursday named longtime executive Suzanne Scott as chief executive of the cable news channel which is a favorite of conservatives and President Donald Trump. Scott had served as the president of programming for both Fox News Channel and Fox Business Network and has been with the group since its inception nearly 22 years ago. "Suzanne has been instrumental in the success of Fox News and she has now made history as its first female CEO," said Lachlan Murdoch, who is co-executive chairman of parent firm 21st Century Fox.
