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]], [[feminist]] [[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.

Some liberal commentators, such as news analyst [[Marvin Kalb]], and [[Eleanor Clift]], are affiliated with the channel. In general, Fox News is closer to mainstream America than [[CBS]], [[ABC]], [[NBC]] or [[CNN]], its founding mission.

===Criticism from conservatives===

===Leftward shift: criticism from conservatives===

Conservatives have criticism for the Fox News Channel as well. For example, conservatives have complained about [[Fox News and homosexuality|how Fox News has covered the homosexuality issue]]. In 2006, the [[conservative]] reporter [[Peter LaBarbera]] wrote that "Fox News and Wal-mart are among the high-level ($10,000) sponsors of the [[National Lesbian and Gay Journalists Association]]’s (NLGJA) 2006 Convention in Miami."<ref>[http://americansfortruth.com/issues/corporate-promotion/corporations/food-beverage-household-brands/coca-cola HRC’s 195 100-Percent Pro-Homosexual Corporations]</ref> In addition, their 'Fair and Balanced' motto allows [[liberal propaganda]], lies, deceit, and half-truths to gain an audience. In reality, Fox was judged to actually provide a more "fair and balanced" coverage in the 2008 Presidential race than all three MSM networks, who had a decidedly pro-Obama tilt, a study by the ''Center for Media and Public Affairs''.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20130309221616/http://www.cmpa.com/pdf/08summer.pdf Center for Media and Public Affairs: ''How TV News Has Covered McCain, Obama and Hillary'']</ref>
