Fox News' brand of journalism is widely regarded as, well, not quite that. Though the network features — and has curtailed at critical hours — some news programming, it more frequently champions the staunchly right-wing commentary of its most popular shows, which traffic in misogyny, racism, transphobia and xenophobia, if not all-out conspiracy theorizing.
The network has come a long way since its founding in 1996, today acting as a trusted source for much of the nation's most conservative audience by providing its millions of viewers with the news they want to hear — at times at the cost of true fact-based reporting and factually honest political analysis. In some ways, Fox News has appeared to embrace that. It changed its longtime motto "Fair and Balanced" to "Most Watched, Most Trusted" in 2017 after all. That said, Fox Corp. remains bright on the radar of media watchdog groups (and prominent in the headlines of liberal and progressive publications) that endeavor to track its news department's failings and expose the dangers of its opinion offerings' bigoted rhetoric.
