This has all the hallmarks of propaganda and PR tricks and its acting like its any different from the other outlets in the US. Ridiculous. Dont get me wrong, i find the liberal/left-wing channels to be at least equally bad. US media is, sadly, politicized and polarized garbo. Its like Russian media but you just have two variants to cater to two different sets of demographics.
Every media outlet has its own way of reporting events. Media outlets choose what events they will report and what events are not deemed "relevant", and the words they use, mannerisms, etc. indirectly convey their position. I agree with you that in the US, media is, more clearly, politicized, and that most neutral observers would agree that it has steadily gotten worse over the last 2 decades.
Everyone should accept that "Fox News" for a long time was a misnomer, and that they produced content for a bespoke audience, as propaganda to further their own goals. However, when Fox News is taking an even hand at both Democrats and Republicans, it is showing a marked shift towards a more neutral position, which is where a News Broadcaster should be.
In this regard I would somewhat refute your statement. Yes, its clear Fox News does not like certain people groups or ideologies, but Tucker Carlsen is able to throw dirt at those that deserve it and not just those he does not like, as all good journalists should do.
