https://www.foxnews.com/, as of now, nowhere in sight news about the market crash, but prominently news of the fencer who refused to fight against a trans fencer, an aid to a democrat who allegedly tried to prevent a question from a Fox journalist, the rescued astronauts "saved" by Musk saying how terribly bad is the Boeing shuttle. only mention of tariffs is not that China retaliated, but that Trump commented on China's retaliation and says everything is good
Yup, sounds familiar. This is their formula:
1) a single prominent political story at top of page, always told from a MAGA perspective
2) a handful of additional political stories that also have a clear MAGA slant
3) the rest of the stories are all human interest/click bait-type stories, usually about crime
If someone reads foxnews.com daily and just focuses on the headlines, they get the sense that: everything related to the MAGA administration is going great, Dems are crazy, and there is a ton of crime out there in the world.
By contrast, another Murdoch product, the Wall Street Journal, has a more balanced approach. The news is centrist while the opinion pieces skew conservative. No trashy clickbait stories like on Fox or the NYP.
