Whore as defined in sense 4.

Charlie Sykes calls him out for his hypocrisy.
The court filings show that Ryan played an active and vocal role behind the scenes, urging the Murdochs to push back against the flood of election lies on the network.\
But he remains on the Fox board, even though the network continues to push baseless conspiracy theories about the election and January 6th.
And how does Ryan respond when Sykes pushes him on this point?
He shills. He shows his true colors. He shreds whatever is left of his reputation as a policy wonk. He pimps the Fox News line-up.
So, the board, you don't decide content and personnel you don't decide who goes on the air, who doesn't, what they say, that's not what you do on the board. I mean, it's a big company….You’re probably ask me why I'm on the board. I think that's probably where you're going next. I think it's really important in society, that we have strong cultural, private institutions that can stand up toward what I would call it sort of a woke conformity. I think it's really important for the sake of pluralism that you have alternative voices that are readily accessible and are strong enough to stand up for for pluralism then get sort of pushed down. So, if only for that reason alone, I think it's very important to have an institution like that.
Yup, it's important to have an 'institution' like Fox News to lie to its viewers, to give them what they want to hear so they don't go running and screaming into the arms of Newsmax and OAN.
