The Biggest Scandals To Hit Fox News

There's something deeply wrong with the way that Fox News skews reality to suit its agenda. The "news" part of Fox News is suspect, and the sheer level of toxic scandals the network has been plagued by for the past few decades attests to that. Here are some of the biggest scandals to hit Fox News.

Bias is human. However, journalistic standards demand a certain level of objectivity regarding facts. If you're a news anchor, your opinion on any politician and/or organization must take a backseat to the objective reality regarding whether they are corrupt, authoritarian, or just plain sleazy. Fox News generally doesn't play by those rules. Instead, the network chooses its conclusion, and either cherry-picks information or outright lies to get there, creating a conservative echo chamber that has deepened polarization across the U.S., as explained by The Guardian.

Over the years, Fox's irresponsible promotion of inaccuracies and constant pro-GOP flag-waving has fueled many baseless theories and misconceptions, while making the network itself increasingly powerful. As David Frum, former speechwriter for George W. Bush, once said,

"Republicans originally thought that Fox worked for us and now we're discovering we work for Fox."

This problem has worsened in recent years, as seen by the relationship that President Trump has with the daytime show Fox & Friends. Regardless of what anyone thinks about Trump, or Fox, the fact is that it's unprofessional how Fox & Friends works tirelessly to rewrite factual narratives to better suit the president's needs, knowing that he's watching and purposely giving him talking points to try to deflect current scandals, as the New Yorker assessed.
