When Fox broadcasters agree with what their interviewees are saying, they nod their heads, smile, and let them talk without interruption.

When they do not agree with what their interviewees are saying, they interject, whip out unrelated questions, superimpose their own voices, and try to stop the interviewees from saying what they are saying. One of them even abruptly ended an interview with a renowned psychiatrist by saying, "The truth isn't as simple as that"--completely oblivious of the fact that what the psychiatrist said was highly complex rather than simple, yet, perhaps, above her level of comprehension.

These are clear examples of bias in broadcasting, and, sometimes, of national paranoia.

Always be alert to the possibility that broadcasters are leading you to think what you do not actually think. They have no right to do that.
