The Fox News Channel is a 24-hour cable and satellite news channel based in the United States. Fox News has become an influential player in the global information since its launch in October 1996. Most of Fox News's 16 hours of live programming on weekdays, and 27 hours on weekends, are produced at its New York City headquarters. As of January 2009, Fox News is available in roughly 90 million U.S. homes, and in more than 50 countries. Competitors include CNN and MSNBC. But still, being such an extensive channel, still Fox News slights from the news and show priorities to whites whiles ignoring others. Due to these facts many people supported the 'Fox turn off campaign'.
