Yes, but I believe Fox News is owned by Rupert Murdoch, who has his hands on networks in other countries as well. So it could stand to reason, he owns other sources in other nations that are just as messed up.

It is owned by Rupert Murdoch. I think, though, that FOX News might more have to do with Rupert Murdoch giving them an idea or overarching concept, and FOX running with it. I highly doubt he has much to do with the individual programming even if it follows his worldview.

But that is a good point that he might have his hands in other misleading news organizations around the world, he could have given the same goals to other news companies. I don't have the time to research such a large task but it would be interesting to find out.
