Think about it - They have a British CEO and British political media coverage is way more tabloid but also more hardball. Their politicians tear each other to shreds on camera often to each other's faces. It really is a different game over there. It lacks the artificial gravitas we often observe.
Also British publications are quite open and up front about what political party they endorse.
Also, FOX News is a younger company than CBS, NBS, ABC, CNN. It's a company that never operated a day under the fairness doctrine. Unlike the companies above who built a massive infrastructure under that framework.
Reagan administration revoked the doctrine in 1985 - Rupert Murdoch and Marvin Davis launched the Fox News Channel a year later.
And then fuse that ownership with the American conservative movement. From the early writings of Bill Buckley to the JBS or Christian Coalition to Pat Robertson. One side certain of doomsday Armageddon and the other Communist infiltration. Built upon a power structure and American traditions of Big Oil, Big Jesus, and Big Military.
All coming together under the very large umbrella of a top 3 global media conglomerate.

Conservatives - I am not saying you are right or wrong. In fact, I know conservatives have many valid points, best ideas, and shared American values. I am just pointing out that FOX News is something special and stands apart from any other media corporation we have.
