Journalists writing on Fox News need to remember the Watergate-era advice: "Follow the money." Fox News was founded by, is controlled by, the Murdoch family. They should be named in every story. The Murdochs are the Kochs behind this peril. nytimes.com/2019/11/16/opi…
Same problem at The Atlantic -- story does a good job of criticizing Fox but doesn't make the crucial point that the network is owned & controlled by the Murdoch family. theatlantic.com/entertainment/…
Generally, if you want to solve a problem you need to name it. You can shout "Fox" all you want but it's sort of an abstraction; there is no "Mr. or Ms. Fox" from whom you seek changes. The Murdochs are the owners who profit from the network and upon whom pressure can be brought.
