Fact check: Can Fox News be considered a reputable source for factual information? Checked on July 27, 2025 . Summary of the results Based on the analyses provided, Fox News faces significant questions regarding its reputation as a source for factual information. Ad Fontes Media consistently rates Fox News with a reliability score of 35.31, placing it in the "Generally Reliable/Analysis OR Other Issues" category, which indicates notable concerns about reporting accuracy [1]. The network also receives a bias score of 11.06, indicating a right-leaning bias [1]. AllSides rates Fox News Opinion content with a "Right" bias rating of 4.00, demonstrating strong alignment with conservative thought and policy agendas [2]. The network has been accused of promoting false claims and conspiracy theories, which directly impacts its trustworthiness as a news source [3]. Additionally, Fox News has faced criticism for instances of doctored photos and a history of sexual harassment lawsuits [4]. Public opinion remains divided, with some individuals defending Fox News as a legitimate news source while others express skepticism due to its perceived bias and history of promoting false information [4]. 2. Missing context/alternative viewpoints The original question lacks several crucial pieces of context that would provide a more complete picture of Fox News' reputation: The network engages in "political balancing" by presenting more positive coverage of Democrats after Republican electoral victories, which could affect perceptions of its reliability and bias [5] Fox News' ownership and leadership changes throughout its history have influenced its editorial direction and credibility assessments [3] The distinction between Fox News' news programming and opinion content is not addressed in the original question, though these segments have different reliability standards and ratings [2] Comparative analysis with other news networks is absent, making it difficult to assess Fox News' relative standing in the media landscape Media literacy organizations, journalism schools, and competing news networks would benefit from society accepting a narrative that Fox News is unreliable, as this would drive audiences toward their preferred sources and educational programs. Conversely, conservative political figures, Republican politicians, and Fox News' corporate parent would benefit from maintaining the network's reputation as a trustworthy source. 3. Potential misinformation/bias in the original statement The original question itself appears neutral and does not contain explicit misinformation. However, it fails to acknowledge the complexity of evaluating news source credibility by not distinguishing between different types of content (news vs. opinion) or different evaluation criteria (accuracy vs. bias vs. transparency). The question also omits the established track record of specific controversies that have affected Fox News' reputation, including documented instances of promoting false information and the network's legal challenges [3] [4]. By asking about Fox News as a monolithic entity, the question oversimplifies the nuanced reality that different programs and segments within the network may have varying levels of factual accuracy and editorial standards. factually.co

Psst...hey genius that has ZERO reading comprehension,,, Foxnews, #1 on the planet, is reporting a CNN/SSRS poll from the end of October. Tell us again how clever and smart you are...everybody wants to hear about it again. You not only never read posts now your uncontrolled hatred won't let you see what information is in pictures. TOO FUNNY! Seek help sonny, not that it will do any good at all this late in your demise. Here is is again sonny since you already proved you are not clever enough to cycle back to older notes. Will you be apologizing soon?
