Fox News used to be really good coverage; the best for decades. That is why they had the highest ratings. They'd stick to the objective facts, but that made everyone pushing twisted bias and selective reporting very angry. Their abysmally-ratings-failing competitors grouped together and started pushing that Fox's coverage of stuff they'd refuse to report, or objective reporting without the spin they wanted, was somehow fake news. This aggressive and persistent attack took more than 10 years and the expanse Internet usage to convince the public of it in any reasonable numbers. If you thing Fox News is bad news, you've fallen for a marketing campaign.

Then Disney bought a non related Fox network asset and Fox News was sterilized. Big name brand associations don't want tied to negativity and will leverage their large money deals as pressure. Fox only reports in lockstep with the other main news outlets now, even with their same echoed spins. We have only one news voice, colluding to amplify the same message now.

The megaphone effect tricks your mind into thinking that if you hear one thing regarded in the same perceptive, seeming from many different sources, then your mind is tricked into assuming that must be the correct perspective automatically. The same trick works for weak unproven, accusations. If you keep a steady flood of accusations of impropriety, no matter baseless and empty, people's minds eventually get tricked into assuming that person is criminal, even without feeling any one accusation is credible. These are just fundamental tricks with many names...yellow journalism, Gish-gallop, megaphone effect, dog-pile, concern-troll, etc.
