This question calls for an opinion, so here is mine. Fox News is not "bad". The word "bad" conveys a meaning of immoral or evil, and while not everyone agrees with the views expressed on Fox, nobody who works there is an evil human being; many are ideologues who genuinely believe in conservative and Republican viewpoints, but if you met some of them (and I have), you would find them to be very nice people. From a broadcasting point of view, Fox News is very effective at promoting and disseminating Republican perspectives on the news. Fox has often been called the media arm of the Republican party, and that is quite accurate-- its commentators are generally pro-Republican, and even its newscasts and Talk Shows have a demonstrably right-wing slant. (The newscasts are actually very professional-- Shep Smith and Bret Baier are widely respected, as is Chris Wallace.)

But there is nothing wrong with having a definite point of view. You know what you are going to get when you watch it. In a democracy, Fox News has every right to broadcast what it wants, and as long as viewers support it, the network will continue to do well and make money for its corporate owners. Of course, its critics would say (with some justification) that it is biased and one-sided and frequently inaccurate; critics will also point out how it drives the Republican talking points and excludes any stories that are critical of Republicans. Fox News is the network liberals and progressives love to hate, just like conservatives love to hate MSNBC (which has some liberal viewpoints among its commentators.) If I were looking for accurate and unbiased news, I would probably not rely on Fox. But if I were looking for excellent examples of what the Republican party believes and what its priorities are, Fox News does an outstanding job of promoting those points of view every day.
