The mission of Fox News was recently disclosed by the network’s CEO, Lachlan Murdoch. He told a Morgan Stanley investor conference that it is Fox’s job to be the opposition<\/a><\/strong> saying that “That\u2019s what our job is now with the Biden administration […] That\u2019s where our audience is.”<\/em><\/p>\n

True to form, Fox News is carrying out their mission at every opportunity. Their so-called “news”<\/em> reporting is comprised almost entirely of attacks on President Biden, his administration, and the overwhelmingly popular Democratic agenda. In fact, Fox is advancing their anti-Democratic propaganda even when when it means burying the results of their own alleged journalism.<\/p>\n

This week Fox News released the findings of a poll they conducted that apparently produced results that contradicted their right-wing narratives. The poll showed that Biden is enjoying a 56% approval rating. However, that’s the sort of truth that Fox News doesn’t want to burden their audience with. Consequently, what would ordinarily be the topline news in the story was pushed further down in an obvious attempt to bury it.<\/p>\n

Biden’s approval rating was literally the last line in the article<\/a><\/strong> on Fox’s website. The headline didn’t even mention it, reading “Fox News Poll: Majority believes COVID-19 leaked from lab in China.”<\/em> What’s more, Fox barely acknowledged that the poll even existed on their network. And one of the few mentions of it was this segment of Fox and Friends where Lara Trump, a Fox News contributor, described the poll as “illegitimate”<\/em>:<\/p>\n

Kilmeade:<\/strong> How do you explain his approval rating, according to Fox\u2019s poll, is 54 percent? [Note that Kilmeade got the number wrong]<\/em>
\nLara Trump:<\/strong> I mean, I truly don\u2019t believe that. I don\u2019t think that is a legitimate number. I also think he gets totally coddled by the mainstream media. Every time you see him truly asked a question by so many of these outlets they’re these softball questions about ice cream. And really they don’t push him on anything. They don’t follow up on anything the way we know they would with Donald Trump. And he just gets glowing reviews all around from the mainstream media. So very clearly, people who tune into those outlets are not getting the full picture on Joe Biden. But I cannot believe that anybody would have his approval rating anywhere over about negative 5% at this point.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
