In the past, "The Fox News Channel" has been accused by academics, media and political figures, watchdog groups, and the public for having biases in its news coverage. And just recently, Fox's issue was once again brought up as they were seen to focus so much on the "Benghazi" coverage than other news.

Fox News had history of bias accusations from important political and media groups. In recent news, majority of Internet users voice out that Fox News tend to be biased in their way of journalism.

Former Democratic National Committee chairman Howard Dean once referred Fox News as a "right-winged propaganda." Making it worse, known political figures like Hillary Clinton, Bill Richards, current U.S. President Barack Obama, and other Democratic Party presidential candidates boycotted Fox News-hosted events in the past.

Media figures like CNN's Larry King, and Los Angeles Times writer Jonah Goldberg share the same views about Fox News tending to be more Republican and conservative in their news story selection.

Media watchdog groups in the U.S. such as Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting (FAIR), and Media Matters for America found in their studies that in majority of Fox News programs, there always seemed to have a conflict of interest.

Recently, Fox News may have been showing more of their accused "bias" for news again. Other news channels had been noticing that Fox seemed to have an obsession about the Benghazi news in 2012. Not that the news doesn't matter. The news is about the American diplomatic mission to Benghazi, Libya where U.S. Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens, another diplomat, and other men were killed Sept. 11, 2012.

"We are not anticipating that that [question] would be about the situation with Benghazi, which is breaking news since the president has been talking, really," she said. "So if in fact somebody throws him a question on this topic, we'll go back to that joint news conference...we're going to move on here with what is breaking," reported Jack Mirkinson of Huffington Post (HP).

"Tomorrow, President Obama is going to do interviews with meteorologists all across the country about a new climate change report...I hope they ask him about Benghazi!" said Fox News host Dana Perino, found also in HP's recent post.

People flood comments about Fox News' recent Benghazi "obsession."

"Just more evidence that Fox isn't a News channel, as it has no interest in keeping its viewers informed." said Brian Bower in HP's comments section.

"Fox News ...the "professional wrestling" of journalism," added Mark C. for HP's comments.

"Fox News has already spent millions to fabricate, foment and propagandize a Benghazi Tale; yet it always falls flat," commented Scuba Skip Rowland in the same thread.

Though more instances and comments from different prominent figures, or critical folks add to the lambasting of Fox News, there are still others who think otherwise. According to some websites like Debate.org that conducted arguments and surveys online, there at least 17 per cent who say that Fox News is good for its viewers. The remaining 83 percent of people are incredulous towards Fox News.
