How? Highest ratio of commentary to news of any news station, weakest reporting of facts, and highest instances of misinformation and disinformation. Because of this, Fox News viewers have been found to be less informed in current events than those who consume no news at all.

Why? Propaganda and profit. The station was envisioned as a right-wing propaganda machine. When it first launched, I was a die-hard Republican and was excited about its promise of unbiased journalism. It took about three minutes of watching to realize it was the most biased journalism I’d ever seen—and I was working for American Family Radio myself at the time. Fox found its niche in far right viewers who don’t like to hear facts that contradict their biased worldview, and attracted sponsors who want to further the far-right and alt-right agenda. Now, beholden to those sponsors, they have gotten progressively worse on the whole. That said, those sponsors aren’t so far gone that they want America destroyed, so Fox has some latitude to push back against the current administration because Trump is hurting the profits of the corporate sponsors just like he’s hurting everyone else.

Worse case of projection I've seen in a while. Why is CNN going broke? Fair and balanced? Not by a mile, maybe if the D's, MSM and Hollywood would stop trying to destroy the Constitution you'd have a chance, but you've gone too far and have become too immoral. We are not letting you get back up this time, this time it's for all the marbles. Money is pouring into re-electing Trump and conservatives. No more dead Americans on our soil by i******s and Muslims here or overseas. No more are we the sacrificial lambs for the banksters and the NWO. D's have until the next e******n before we erect a tombstone over your corrupt ideas that never work. RIP D's! You were supposed to give customers what they want, you guys used force, not nice. People don't like being forced. We love our faith, Bibles, guns, free speech, families, and especially babies. You ruin everything you touch, politics, cities, healthcare, education, news, etc... Basically you just suck at most everything you do. It can't all be by accident, your doing it on purpose.

In the classical words of that ancient great philosopher, Gorgantus, "El dominos el triginomous." A literal t***slation today would be. ....bull s**t! And you can take those words and chip them in stone! FOX is fair and balanced proven by the facts they have, in my opinion, far too many obnoxious progressives every day they broadcast. (Now I need to take my thumb and rub out BS)

Part of Fox is still okay, you have to know which ones. Or you can just go with the guests. It's a follow the money game. I think the Murduchs own them, don't quote me and they sure as hell ain't Republicans. Dyed in the wool Liberals is closer, but they want the dollars!
