Graph
How about a graph depicting Fox News' ratings since inception? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.236.191.219 (talk) 22:59, 24 June 2010 (UTC)

bias
as much truth as there is behind Fox's conservative bias, the last paragraph about Bush's first term sounds like something from a liberal extremist blog, not a balanced encyclopedia article. -- Kitty  20:13, 29 February 2012 (UTC)

Blatant Propaganda
The below paragraph is blatant propaganda. Also, much of the section is addressing events outside of the stated years of 2001 to 2004.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Fox_News#Through_first_term_of_George_W._Bush_(2001%E2%80%932004)

"However, in the 2016+ era of television broadcasting, Fox News is evermore on the sidelines. Due to racist comments by the Fox News executives, and reporters blatant stupidity and false-superiority, Fox News has seen dropping ratings. As of 2018, their newest stunt was buddying up with the president, however, this has only caused a mis-information loop where Fox News will say something outrageous (as it must do to create headlines and gain viewers) and Donald Trump will repeat it. Then Mr. Trump will point to Fox News to prove himself right while Fox News points to Donald Trump. Thusly, most of what Donald Trump and Fox News claim to be true is actually fake news."

Missing Sections
How come the article has so much content missing? FNC's history from 05 to the present seems to have been stripped away. Did somebody vandalize this page? AKA Casey Rollins Talk With Casey 18:16, 30 March 2018 (UTC)


 * No, it's just kind of a stub article. Someone added those sections in 2017 when the events happened because they were clearly important in the history of the channel, and nobody has filled them in yet. &mdash;BlackTerror (talk) 19:05, 30 May 2019 (UTC)

It is so out of date that it references the O'reilly show without including the events that led to his cancellation. Playerpage (talk) 21:13, 5 January 2021 (UTC)

Lost millions of dollars every year for years trying to get started
"Brit Hume noted, in a 1999 interview with PBS: “This operation loses money. It doesn’t lose nearly as much as it did at first, and it’s — well, it’s hit all its projections in terms of, you know, turning a profit, but it’s — it will lose money now, and we expect for a couple more years. I think it’s losing about $80 million to $90 million a year.”"
