Fox’s CEO Roger Ailes worked as a former image consultant for several former republican presidents. Fox news has been accused of being biased towards the right wing several times by organizations such as Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting and Media Matters in America.
As a corporately funded news station, Fox news has the right to reflect the views of its owners. But by doing so, they have compromised their journalistic integrity. Journalists are supposed to present the masses with the facts without any bias or personal opinion included and by refusing to do so I believe that Fox news has tarnished their image as a reputable source of information. We must ALWAYS remember that it is the journalist’s responsibility is to sell the truth.
