The Most Politically Conservative News Channel
There is no doubt in my mind that the Fox News Channel presents news with a definite conservative slant. The station defends itself against any suggestion of political bias and insists their coverage is well balanced but the station’s bigwigs are well known conservatives. The president of Fox News Roger Ailes has strong ties with the Republican Party dating back to Nixon years and the station’s owner Rupert Murdoch is one of the Republican Party’ s largest financial contributors.
The roster of Fox anchors includes some of the most extreme conservatives on the airwaves.Want more?

Fox has even made a place for the loudest right-winger in the nation, the bombastic Glenn Beck. You certainly won’t see anyone from this list hosting a program on MSNBC.
Fox News has been caught in the act of stacking the deck. During Sarah Palin’s book tour it was reported that massive numbers were showing up for her appearances complete with video clips showing exuberant crowds, which the anchor insinuated was live footage. It was later discovered that the attendance numbers were inflated and the video was actually campaign footage from the 2008 election.
