Fox News has become an important subject of the mainstream news

Fox News is just an arm of the GOP. We all know it but they have had an audience that has been essentially brainwashed like the frog in the boiling water. Meanwhile the party has moved the goalposts so far to the right that they are basically a neofascist movement and the faithful are sleepwalking through it all. The media needs to make Fox more of a subject of news coverage. For example Chris Hayes's coverage of Fox News in particular has been outstanding. These texts with Hannity, Ingraham, and Kilmeade are explosive. It is clear evidence of propaganda from a so called major news organization that used to claim it was fair and balanced. This should be an explosive scandal but the faithful flock to FOX, Newsmax, OAN, etc., and it doesn't even get mentioned and doesn't seem to penetrate the bubble.

I would like to see more media criticism of Fox news.

It’s also so “journalists” won’t cover issues of pertinence like a PowerPoint presentation outlining a coup by the previous administration.

the anchors were making the involvement with Fux the main story. It went on for hours, pounding Fux and their pseudo news anchors' title when they are really presidential advisors.
