Fox News Channel was started in 1996 by Rupert Murdoch & Roger Ailes. Murdoch and Ailes perceived a need for a news organization that offered more balanced reporting, one where the facts from all sides would be presented. Main-stream media "Political Correctness" was banished, with the news anchors calling terrorists, what they were (terrorists), instead of referring to them as "militants". It seems to have paid off. As of February, 2007, polls show that over 20% of Americans say their main source of news is the Fox News Channel.

The '''Fox News Channel''' is a US cable and satellite news channel. It is part of the Fox Network, a subsidiary of Australian-born media mogul Rupert Murdoch's News Corporation.

While Fox News claims to be "Fair & Balanced", a claim which it backs up by having bipartisan shows like Hannity and Colmes, and daily guest pundits from all sides of the political spectrum, it is widely understood to be more sympathetic to conservative and Christian views. Despite this, Fox News characterizes itself as reporting the news in an unbiased manner and then allowing the viewer to decide; "We Report, You Decide" is another of their on-air slogans.
