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?
