Yes, it's scary that while Rupert Murdoch himself is conservative, his family are liberal/Left, and would like to turn FOX into another CNN upon his death. It's even questionable whether Rupert Murdoch himself is truly conservative, or whether he just found it profitable to create a conservative channel to fill a previous void in an otherwise overwhelmingly liberal media. Many reporters have fled to FOX from the liberal propaganda networks they pecame persona non grata at for simply reporting the news, before leaving their contracts and moving to FOX, such as Sharyl Atkisson, John Stossell, Lara Logan, Geraldo Rivera, John Roberts, Bernard Goldberg, Lou Dobbs, Maria Bartiromo and Howard Kurtz. A number of these are liberals, but were frustrated that the investigative reporting they did on Republicans suddenly (2008 forward) was increasingly unwelcome and censored when they did the same kind of investigative reporting of Democrat officials. Even in its diminished form, FOX News has become a refuge for actual journalism. John Solomon, Sarah Carter and others reporting on the Russia hoax and corruption within the FBI and malicious prosecution of Trump officials on completely fabricated evidence, should haave Pulitzers for what they've exposed. But except on FOX, they are largely shunned and invisible to the maainstram liberal Democrat-Newspeak media.

But even without Murdoch's children taking over, in the last few years, since Bill O'Reilly and Roger Ailes' departures, new board members and executives at FOX have taken a more timid reluctance to take a hard conservative stance, that have caused people like Sean Hannity, Laura Ingraham, Tucker Carlson, Jeannine Pirro and others to almost be fired or quit in pushing to just report the truth. While quarters of FOX News still are "fair, balanced and unafraid" to tell the truth, there are a disturbing number of timid and outright propagandist reporters and Democrat (or Republican never-Trumper) propagandists who front lying talking points on FOX and go unchallenged. "Oh, okay, that's you're opinion" the anchor often says to these propagandists, and leaves it at that, unchallenged.
No, it's not a valid opinion !
The job of a news reporter is to challenge that opinion and correct it with the facts, not just let Democrats (and never-Trumpers) get away with blatant untruths. Reporters, particularly at FOX (because no one else will) have a responsibility to assess these pseudo-factual talking points, and clarify with the known facts whether or not what was alleged is true, and not just let them slip by as "the other side's point of view". When that point of view is false, it needs to be factchecked and corrected, not to just go unchallenged as if it were valid and truthful.
