The days of reporting the news without bias or commentary are over. I remember when I was a kid, the news was reported as straight facts, without commentary.
Fox News for the better of 20 years has put more emphasis on its editorial commentary of the news and less on reporting the facts. Any new network that employs so many political pubits from one side that are former Presidential candidates, worked for that party, have extreme close ties to that party, plus other pundits who represent one side.. Well they have cashed in all credibility when it comes to reporting the news without bias.
I do have to give Fox News some credit. For years the mainstream media have always had a moderate to left leaning focus. Fox has taken all those disenchanted conservatives and given them an outlet to vent. The mainstream media has watered down their market while Fox has cornered the other side.
That is the only reason they are number one in the US.
