FoxNews

The Fox News Channel (FNC) is a United States-based cable and satellite news channel. It is owned by the Fox Entertainment Group, and is a subsidiary of Rupert Murdoch's News Corporation.

As of January 2005, it is available to 85 million households in the U.S. and further to viewers internationally, broadcasting primarily out of its New York City studios.

The network was launched on October 7, 1996 to 17 million cable subscribers under the guidance of Roger Ailes. The network slowly rose to prominence in the late 1990s as it started chipping away at the ratings of competitor CNN. In the United States, Fox News Channel is the top rated cable news channel.

The FOXNEWS channel was created by Australian-American media magnate Rupert Murdoch, who hired Roger Ailes as its founding CEO. Fox News has been criticized as advocating conservative political positions; the channel denies allegations of bias in their news reporting.

The FOXNEWS channel is now available internationally, though its world programming is the same as its American programming, unlike CNN International, which airs regional programming that is largely independent of its U.S. broadcasts.

In the United States, the channel is offered by many cable companies in their basic cable packages. Fox News is also carried by Sky Angel, a Christian-run group of TV and radio networks that offers mostly religious broadcasting.

Fox News has been the target of accusations that it promotes a particular point of view at the expense of neutrality. These criticisms most commonly allege a conservative bias, and cite various polls which suggest a bias within Fox News. According to the results of a 2006 study by The Project for Excellence in Journalism, the network is seen by some critics and observers as advocating conservative political positions. Murdoch and other personalities have denied allegations of bias vehemently.  A prominent critic of Fox is the Democratic National Committee, which has labeled Fox News a "rightwing outlet".

CNN's Larry King said in a Jan. 17, 2007 interview with the Chicago Sun-Times, "They're a Republican brand. They're an extension of the Republican Party with some exceptions, [like] Greta van Susteren. But I don't begrudge them that. [Fox CEO] Roger Ailes is an old friend. They've been nice to me. They've said some very nice things about me. Not [Bill] O'Reilly, but I don't watch him."

These issues are addressed in the 2004 documentary by the left-wing political organization MoveOn.org about alleged bias in Fox News reporting, Outfoxed: Rupert Murdoch's War on Journalism.
