         Heard about your job woes and am  hoping it sorts itself out soon enough.   As far as working for Fox,  who gives a fuck? Especially when you have a family, sometimes you can't be as  picky as you would prefer.
 Plus, I'm sure you know people that work for companies that don't match  their politics, just because the money is good.  I have a friend who is  about as "green" democrat as you can imagine, yet he works for an ad agency that  does Hummer ads.  He works there because the pay is good.   Not  saying I agree with it, as my car gets about 30 a gallon,  I'm just saying  that's what people have to do sometimes.  
          As far as who owns the  entertainment industry,   as opposed to disney and viacom, at last  check I thought the music industry was primarily Coke (Sony) and Seagrams  (Universal).  My info may be a little out of date, though, whatever.
           I am trying to get  out of a lousy job that I have been doing for the last four + years, which I  have been doing for the benefits and the regular hours.   I could live  indefinitely off of mac & cheese, pepperoni pizza and classic coke, but I  can't say the same for the rest of my family.    Straight jobs  definitely are a drag, but they must be endured.   As far as Fox goes,  you will always work alongside people who are a-holes.  On my job I have  worked with people who are ignorant, racist, homophobic you name it, but you  find people like that wherever you go.
           Anyone who gives you  crap about selling out obviously doesn't have any bills hanging over their  head.
 Hang in there and things will sort themselves out.  As soon as you  find a new job, chances are your job options will improve.   It  always seems to work out that way.  best of luck,    Carl P.  in boston
