It has a decidedly conservative slant. CNN is much more liberal, but not in the sense that conservatives try to describe the word 'liberal.' CNN is liberal in the sense that they are not trying to advance a specific agenda, and they essentially report the news in a "Fair and Balanced" manner that you DEFINITELY won't see on FOX. FOX also has many conservative talk shows that are thinly veiled disguises of new-type programs similar to 20/20. They're not news, and FOX makes no attempt to say they are not. But some folks don't figure that out, and they figure Brit Hume is telling them the Gospel when he CERTAINLY is not!

I'm a big fan of the Network. Judging by their ratings I am one of a great many (they beat out the ratings of all their competitors combined!).
Fox is vilified as being right wing by those who would prefer to leave the mainstream's leftist bias go on unchallenged. Fortunately their day is over and their propaganda houses are in shambles. Fox has grown up quickly in its first ten years and will in the next decade completely marginalize the big boys of network news.
They reflect the views and values of the majority of Americans. This right wing revolution is being televised and it has liberals nuts in a knot.
One has only to observe the popularity of fake news programs like The Daily Show and The Colbert Report (both of which I watch as faithfully as Fox) to high lite the downward spiral of the mainstream media.

Fox, like all main stream media, pushes what people watch (read sells). You may sometime here that news organizations have an obligation to society. Not so. Their obligation is to their selves, family and stock-holders. As well as it should be. Consumers drive the market. Supply and demand. It's irrefutable.

My husband is a big fan of Fox. I do not like Sean Hannity. I like Greta and Bill O'Riley.
You get conservative biased news on Fox and on CNN you get liberal. So to get balance watch them both. No where do you get fair, unless it is cSpan.

Fox News leans so far to the right I find it hard to believe the reporters are able to sit in their chairs without sliding off. It's a shill for right wing Christian conservative Republicans!

I like Fox news overall. I do watch CNN just to compare the two. Bill O'Reilly is my favorite host.

It is so far to the right it is a joke. The president is Roger Ailes who is they guy who ran George Bush Sr.s first election.
