I see your understanding of America is vintage 2008. “Fox News is the devil” was brought to you by The Daily Show that got a lot right, but also hid a lot as they transformed from exposing narrative to pushing it. Here is some 2019 for you... FoxNews is probably less biased than CNN. Fox as a whole is fairly Anti-Trump, because Fox as a whole is NeoCon and they are NeverTrumpers. Fox opinion has been dialed back, while MSNBC, CNN, and CBS have been dialed up.

> Fox as a whole is NeoCon and they are NeverTrumpers This is full of shit. Trump regularly appears on Fox and Friends. Hannity regularly talks about or interviews Trump (not to mention sharing the same lawyer). Carlson regularly defends White House policy.

  Not only did you seem to skip the words “as a whole”, but you seem to be too far to one side to realize that the GOP never wanted Trump and they are begrudgingly stuck with him - because they didn’t have the sense to rig their primary system like the DNC. I recommend taking a step back. Because if you really look at it, the GOP establishment you hate and Trump eho you hate, are enemies. It’s not 2008 anymore. Trump appearing on Fox doesn’t mean much. Fox ran only 48% positive news on Trump according to a bias in media study in the first 100 days, I don’t think anything has improved. The highest of any network, but hardly in the hole for him.[0].

  All sorts of people regularly appear on Fox News segments. That doesn't mean Fox News actually endorses those folks' agendas or opinions. There are lots of indicators that Fox News is indeed consistently biased toward conservative stances, but whether or not someone appears on Fox News is not really one of them.

You cannot claim a network that has one of their anchors literally having daily phone conversations with the President of the country they are reporting on is less biased. That's just silly. Commentators on Fox News are blatantly supportive of the President. I don't know how one gets a cozier relationship with a network than that between Fox News and President Trump. He literally watches the network to dictate policy decisions. The right wing outrage about the border wall from Fox News directly led to President Trump changing his political position. Fox News is to Republicans in America what RT is to the Russian government. http://nymag.com/intelligencer/2018/05/sean-hannity-donald-trump-late-night-calls.html http://nymag.com/intelligencer/2018/05/sean-hannity-donald-t... https://www.businessinsider.com/trump-sean-hannity-talk-before-bed-2018-5 https://www.businessinsider.com/trump-sean-hannity-talk-befo...
