"Fox News pushes midterm election message with a panel of “Virginia parents” who are really Republican activists"
"In its latest propaganda push ahead of the midterm elections, Fox News hosted a focus group billed as a “panel of Virginia parents” to deride progressive and Democratic policies that was, in fact, made up of conservative activists, including a former Trump administration official."
"The six programming blocks on Friday’s edition of Fox & Friends totaled roughly 35 minutes of airtime. All the panelists delivered messages that went against progressive politics, with sales pitches ranging from a quasi-nonpartisan appeal to urging viewers to defeat every single Democratic candidate, and even warning against the supposedly looming threat of communism in America today."
"Later during Fox’s purported “straight news” coverage on America’s Newsroom, Fox News anchor Sandra Smith presented a clips reel of the panel."
"Smith’s introduction of the clips reel also demonstrated a pattern in which a Fox anchor announces what the election issues would be, then presents a Fox panel’s take on what to think about those issues."

Kind of like O'Keefe films
If you have seen Fox lately, beyond the prime time demogogues, the supposed "regular news" coverage, it is easily noticed that Murdoch is forgotten any effort at pretense, the network is actively and aggressively openly campaigning for GOP candidates, the only thing missing is the scroll across the bottom of the screen telling viewers where they can send donations
Sad part of this is that without a doubt if Fox told followers to eat shit a good number would
