FOX NEWS/CNN

When it comes to Fox News and The Right Wing Agenda  they go hand in hand, pocket in pocket. Rupert Murdoch the owner of Fox News does like to use the station to his own whims by distorting news to try and gain supporters through lying and deceiving to those who watch fox news. Well that is what people claim anyway. "http://www.freepress.net/rupert-murdoch-scandal  25th March 2014" While I cant make my own opinion on this topic, as I have very little knowledge of American Politics, but I can say that it could be totally plausible,to alter the News to help your cause if you own the station and ultimately own the News.

One thing I can talk about is how they present the News.They often use the anchors to try and explain something in a way that appeals to those who cannot think for themselves. That is what tends to happen in interview based news when they ask questions and try to distort someones words into something else. Anyone with half a brain can see how they do it but they try to aim those at those who don't like to question someone smarter then them.

http://foxattacks.com/ is a great site that has many examples of how fox news has edited peoples information in the past few years.

They are in the long run doing it for the profit. This is where they differ from something like the BBC which is essentially a publicly funded company paid for by the taxes of British citizens. The Fox News has in the past distorted the news to gain either public interest or political interest. Both of these are bad for the people watching as they never get 100% real news. The BBC is different to this in the sense that they have no motive to alter the news for profitability. They get a fixed amount of money no matter what they do but they can an try to affect the political views of the viewers by showing certain stories but they are less prominent much less frequent. The Newspapers are what tend to alter peoples political views.

Fox News certainly is a controversial thing in the world. Is it fair? Certainly not, they show what they want to show and will exploit others to get what they want. Are they balanced? who knows, but they are definitely on the wrong side of the line with how they treat information. But at the end of the day its described as being right wing for a reason and does tend to show what they want and what they have to earn more money and better of the company on the whole. Its a very lucrative business and has made many people involved unparalleled in wealth. That is what I think drives them, money and not getting the news that slanders their political view to the public. Its disgusting to think they sacrifice the information to earn more money but that's what a business does.
