This is a general warning to most people, always focus on the accuracy rather than the advocacy part.
Don’t read or share an article just because it aligns with your world view.
News organizations in general are the “middle man” between you and events happening in the world.
Don’t let the middle man shape your view on reality, focus on accuracy and hopefully you will get a balanced world view.
I’ve seen lefty people on the lemmyverse actually share the New York Post unironically because they happen to like a headline.
(The New York Post is a tabloid on par with Fox, in fact they’re owned by the same company as Fox News).
Rupert Murdoch owns the New York Post, Fox News and the Wall Street Journal.
In Britain, he owns The Sun. In Australia, he owns 90% of newspapers and Sky News Australia.
He has been publically accused by world leaders of attempting to blackmail them:

Murdoch is a real bastard. He uses his papers to push his own political views.
Donald Trump praises him.

The amount of damage that man had done to the world is incalculable, and yet he has faced no consequences beyond an occasional fine.
That said, if it wasn’t him, I’m not sure some other ghoul wouldn’t have done the same thing. He’s a product of our fucked up system, not the cause of it.
Also the “glorious” Daily Mail.
They’re both horrible but the NY Post is far more tabloid-y than Fox News proper.
Depends what you mean. Fox opinion and the TV is on par with NYPost, perhaps even worse.
Foxnews.com general online news articles is better than NYPost.
