Popular opinion programming is skewed in favor of voices from establishment Republican [[RINO]] members. This is most evident with their guest speakers, such as [[Karl Rove]]. You'll never hear Fox use the words liberal Republican or RINO. The most liberal members of the Republican Party are labeled moderates.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.foxnews.com/politics/2014/04/26/paul-make-key-stop-in-maine-with-state-gop-split-between-libertarians-and/?intcmp=latestnews|title=Paul makes key stop in Maine, with state GOP split between libertarians and establishment|date=April 26, 2014|work=Fox News|quote=Paul has helped fellow Republicans across the political spectrum raise money, as he is expected to do Saturday for Maine Sen.

However, they prefer to air the liberal side prominently, airing outright lies from liberals. [[Rush Limbaugh]] claimed Fox News wouldn't let him talk about immigration issues and preferred to control the [[narrative]], also known as [[censorship]].<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.theblaze.com/stories/2013/07/02/rush-limbaugh-accuses-fox-news-of-trying-to-censor-him-quite-telling/|title=Rush Limbaugh Accuses Fox News of Trying to Censor Him: ‘Quite Telling’|date= July 2, 2013|first=Jason|last=Howerton|work=[[The Blaze]]}}</ref> Republican RINO leadership such as John McCain, [[Lindsey Graham]] and others love the spotlight of a camera and Fox News is there for them.
