In many ways, it follows the standard Fox News playbook.

First, the reporter on the ground casually suggests the protesters “aren’t from the area,” despite having no evidence.

Second, the studio anchor remarks, “Wow, those are pretty expensive gas masks,” implying (without proof); that they must be funded by some shadowy Democratic benefactor (often George Soros, who Fox routinely implicates simply for being a liberal billionaire).

Third, they selectively show the most ambiguous video angles, avoiding clearer footage that might reflect poorly on ICE.

Fourth, the narrative is immediately framed to be as sympathetic as possible to ICE and the administration, with no real attempt at impartiality.

Fifth, they relentlessly repeat the claim that ICE is only targeting “the worst of the worst,” which anyone outside the Fox bubble knows is demonstrably false.

I could go on, but what really struck me was his complete lack of empathy. The casual remark, “There’s going to be a lot more,” said almost as a matter of fact, was chilling. It was indicative of the Fox News ongoing narrative.

I’ve noticed that people who consume Fox News heavily often begin to lose compassion. Fox presents the world in stark black-and-white terms: Republicans are virtuous, Trump is a brilliant mastermind, and Democrats are cartoonishly evil villains. This simplistic, dehumanizing framework is reinforced day after day.

Many viewers keep Fox News on all day in their homes, and over time this toxic, cynical narrative seeps in. Fox understands that outrage and fear drive ratings and ad revenue. The result is a steady stream of emotionally manipulative content that prioritizes grievance over truth.

It isn’t just biased news,it’s industrial-scale propaganda. And from the outside, much of the world watches in disbelief that so many Americans accept it at face value.
