On November 9, 2020, former Fox News employee [[Steven Crowder]] and his colleagues at ''Louder with Crowder'' ran a segment titled, "Fox News Is Not Your Friend! Here's Why..." detailing how the Fox News Channel is politically correct rather than conservative, and why Fox News is virtually no different in most substantive aspects from the left-wing corporate media. They discussed Fox News' suspension of Judge [[Jeanine Pirro]] for planning to review allegations of voter fraud in the [[United States presidential election, 2020|2020 election]]; Fox News calling the state of [[Arizona]] for [[Joe Biden]] before all other mainstream media outlets; Chris Wallace's subpar performance as a moderator in the first presidential debate of 2020; John Roberts' false assertions that President Trump refused to condemn white supremacy and temper tantrum after refusing to accept White House Press Secretary [[Kayleigh McEnany]]'s answer with numerous quotes from President Trump directly condemning white supremacy; Fox News' hiring of former DNC Chairwoman [[Donna Brazile]]; and Fox News' collusion with [[YouTube]] to algorithmically promote itself as an "authoritative source" at the expense of smaller, independent creators. Crowder additionally recalled being "muzzled" during his time at Fox News, and argued that the reason he was censored may have been consistent conservatism, not inappropriate humour as he had previously assumed. This heavy and unrestrained criticism of Fox News lasted for over half an hour before the commentators moved on to a different topic.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FSRhdurEnZc Fox News is NOT Your Friend!
