im not sure if youre joking but matt groening created the simpsons which is a fictional cartoon that premiered on fox broadcasting company, an entirely different company than news corp which created fox news and which existed nearly a decade before the simpsons did.
No, it took a while to get really bad. It was always right leaning and not great reporting but it wasn’t until the success of Bill O’Reilly in the oughts that it went completely off the rails. If you haven’t seen it you should watch John Stewart on Crossfire.Crossfire was Tucker Carlson’s first big show back when Fox was first starting to get really bad and was competing with Comedy Central instead of other news organizations. Stewart killed the show in one interview. How? By telling them that they were hurting America and asking them to stop.
I think a show with hidden satire like simpsons aired on such a network (fox, if it was like it is today ( i don’t know, I am young and not American)) would be a funny achievement 🤔

thanks for the info! was fox news as divisive back in the 90s as it is today? if so, why would he work with them?

true
Fox Broadcasting Company is/was a subsidiary of News Corp, now “Fox Corporation” which is owned by the same people.
The name changed to Fox Corporation when they sold their entertainment portfolio to Disney.
Disney owns the Simpsons.
Is one of those people Matt fucking Groening? Because otherwise it’s a stupid claim. Did Sean Hannity create the Simpsons?
