The '''Fox News Channel''' is a [[United States]] [[cable]] and [[satellite]] [[news]] channel that pretends to be [[conservative]]. It is a 24-hour general news service covering breaking news as well as political, business and entertainment news.  The average age of its viewership is 74 years old, and even 79 years old for its [[O'Reilly Factor]].  Much of Fox News Channel is self-serving "happy talk," telling its elderly audience what it wants to hear, or selling O'Reilly's latest book.

The Fox News Channel heavily promotes [[RINO Backers]] -- commentators who may appear to be [[conservative]] but side with [[RINO]]s just when it matters most.  In the first major [[2016 presidential debate]], [[Megyn Kelly]] of Fox News ambushed [[Donald Trump]] with irrelevant, out-of-context quotations to make it appear that he was somehow anti-women.  Additional examples on Fox News include [[Bill O'Reilly]], [[Sean Hannity]], [[Karl Rove]], and [[Rush Limbaugh]], who savaged [[Todd Akin]] for making a [[pro-life]] statement pointing out that pregnancy from rape is rare due to feminine biology.  The Fox News Channel gave Karl Rove a platform to raise money against [[pro-life]] Republican candidates.
