The '''Fox News Channel''' is a [[United States]] [[cable]] and [[satellite]] [[news]] channel. 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.

The Fox News Channel gave Karl Rove a platform to raise money against [[pro-life]] Republican candidates.
