Fox News Channel controversies
Summary
Fox News Channel has been the subject of many allegations concerning journalism ethics and standards. Critics of the channel have accused the network of having a bias favoring the political right and the Republican Party. Fox News has publicly denied such charges, stating that, while some of its commentators are self-described conservatives, the reporters in the news room provide separate, neutral reporting.Former Democratic National Committee chairman Howard Dean has referred to Fox News as a "right-wing propaganda machine," and several Democratic Party politicians have boycotted events hosted or sponsored by the network. In 2007, several major Democratic Party presidential candidates (Hillary Rodham Clinton, John Edwards, Barack Obama, and Bill Richardson) boycotted or dropped out of Fox News-sponsored or hosted debates, forcing their cancellation.
