Along with broader categories of news, the channel also concerns itself heavily with politics.

* [[Blonde Republican Sex Kitten]] / [[Ms. Fanservice]]: It's a bit telling that a Google image search for "Fox News" will try to auto-complete it with the following: "anchors", "hotties", "logo", "women", "women legs", "girls", "anchorwoman". The perky blonde anchorwomen on Fox are legendary.

* [[Blatant Lies]]: They have been known to label prominent Republicans who have upset the public as Democrats.

* [[Fox News Liberal]]: The [[Trope Namer]], of course.

* [[Obfuscating Stupidity]]: Gretchen Carlson was a high school valedictorian, graduated from Stanford with honors, studied abroad at Oxford, and can play Zigeunerweisen on the violin. Yet on ''Fox And Friends'' she has been shown Googling terms like "ignoramus" and "czar", and even then getting the wrong definition for the context in which the word was being used.<ref>She throught that "ignoramus" was defined as "ignorant lawyer" and that [[Barack Obama|Obama]]'s appointment of a "czar" (in this context the common job title of department or taskforce chief) violated Section 9 of the United States Constitution.</ref> Either she is a [[Ditzy Genius]] who has a poor grasp of vocabulary despite her intelligence, or she is deliberately reining it in so as to seem less intimidating and more identifiable to her viewership.
