So fox news (owned by Murdoch) gets abuse for being hatefully right wing...
Are fox news just catering for the people, or are they setting out to influence people?
There is probably no answer for that, I'd personally go with the latter as I find them sickening to watch.

Can’t believe the Americans have voted for a Marxist.
Oldgas must be fuming 😉

Murdoch owned Sky until recently too, would you call Sky News extremely Right Wing or sickening to watch? Fox News is no different to CNN or MSNBC just deemed the other side of the spectrum. |

Lol fox dropped trump as soon as the tide turned, even trump commented on it when ringing in to the studio, it was very funny. Sky is liberal isn't it, which is the largest demographic in the UK, so maybe it is all a ratings war. The media reflects the population if that is the case. What do us cretins know eh. |

Murdoch allows editorial independence, hence why things like The Sun and The Times sometimes have differing views on elements of politics. Also Sky News has to show balance as part of the broadcasting rules, as do ITV, BBC and Channel 4. As I understand it, the US allows greater bias in their news outlets as reflected in how Fox are seen as right of right of centre. |

The bad news is that Trump's team have said if he loses he will stand again in 4 years,FFS Why not? there is a huge appetite for him. Many people still believe he speaks for them. He's almost won a second term despite many seeing him as a travesty. I would hope by then America has moved on and there is no appetite for such an unprincipled individual. Would be good to get some young blood rather than a 78 year old. |

I reckon Kamala Harris will be in within a year She appears to be the ultimate liberal. Like you say tho, without a dem senate nothing will really happen (which is probably what both parties want). The GOP will dig their heels in and play politics which is seen as fair game to them I wonder if the media will be as hyped up as it has been for the last 4 years... They are going to miss all of the trump clicks. |

Apparently lots of libertarian nominees got more votes than trump, so gifted him some states, some fantastic irony in that. |

Apparently lots of libertarian nominees got more votes than trump, so gifted him some states, some fantastic irony in that. An open, internationalist USA is needed. What that looks like on the ground depends upon the degree to which the neo-cons are kept away. With Biden there is a chance. |
