Staffers said the recent layoffs gutting Fox News’ fact-checking team were a victory for the network’s right-wing opinion shows and further cemented its status as “state media.”

The recent mass layoffs at Fox News signal what current and former employees describe as the purposeful devaluing of fact-based journalism in favor of right-wing opinion, race-baiting, and conspiracy-mongering at the top-rated, Donald Trump-friendly cable outlet.
