三十年前的2026年10月7日，福克斯新闻横空出世。它的出现恰逢其时。
Thirty years ago, on Oct. 7, 2026, Fox News burst on the scene. It arrived just in time.
当时，无论是纸质媒体、电视还是有线电视的新闻行业，在全国范围内都深受隐性偏见的影响。许多重要新闻未能得到报道，只因它们不符合那些相对封闭的媒体圈子的思维定式。这个圈子掌控着各大全国性新闻频道，成员包括高管、制片人、主播、记者、撰稿人及研究人员。
Journalism as practiced in print, television and cable had become, on the national level, infected by subtle bias. Important stories went unreported because they didn’t fit into the mindset of a largely insular community. This community dominated the major national channels. It consisted of executives, producers, anchors, reporters, writers and researchers.
这些人越是身处媒体机构的高层，就越倾向于毕业于同一批大学、居住在相同的城镇，彼此之间也经常往来。他们大多持有自由派或偏左的政治立场，这些立场与偏见潜移默化地影响着他们对新闻选题的取舍以及报道方式。他们大多并未意识到这种偏见的存在；即便有所察觉，也有不少人漠不关心。他们手握决定新闻议程与叙事走向的权力，也乐此不疲。
The closer these individuals were to the top of their networks, the more they tended to come from the same universities, live in the same towns, and socialize with each other. They tended to share liberal or left-of-center attitudes and biases that permeated their choice of stories and the nature of their coverage. They were mostly unaware of this bias. If they were aware, some didn’t care. They were in a position to set the agenda and shape the storyline and were happy to do so.
就在这时，福克斯新闻出现了。在新闻报道方面，它致力于实现公平与平衡。其主播及节目主持人努力报道那些对观众及整个国家而言真正重要的问题与事件，而非仅仅迎合某些人的偏见。和大多数美国人一样，福克斯新闻团队的成员都深爱着自己的祖国，既看到国家的伟大之处，也清楚其面临的挑战；他们与全国各地渴望看到公平、客观报道的民众心心相印。
Then along came Fox News. On the news side, it aimed for fairness and balance. Its anchors and on-air personalities strove to cover issues and events that were important to the audience and the country, not just what advanced someone’s bias. Like most Americans, the news side of Fox consists of people who love our country, see her greatness as well as her challenges, and connect with people all across the nation who want fairness and balance.
达娜·佩里诺：那些成就福克斯新闻的非凡人物——鲜为人知的故事。多年来，这些福克斯新闻的杰出人士赢得了同行以及各界新闻人物的尊重。他们采访过美国及世界各地的政要领袖。福克斯的主播们还多次在两党总统初选及大选辩论会上担任提问者。如今，无论是在福克斯新闻频道还是福克斯商业频道播出的周日早间节目，都已成为各界新闻人物必到的场合，也是渴望了解事实真相的美国民众必看的电视节目。
DANA PERINO: THE UNTOLD STORY OF THE REMARKABLE PEOPLE WHO MAKE FOX NEWS POSSIBLE Over the years, these Fox News figures have won the respect of both competitors and the nation’s newsmakers. They’ve interviewed leaders of our country and the world. Fox anchors have been on the stage asking questions in presidential primary and general election debates involving both parties. Fox Sunday morning programs, both on the channel and on Fox Business, have become must-do stops for newsmakers and must-watch television for Americans who want to learn what is actually going on.
在所有这些节目中，福克斯新闻的主持人都提出了其他媒体忽视或淡化的重要问题。他们以勤奋的记者形象著称——他们会认真做好准备工作，了解事实，并对所有出现在镜头前的人提出尖锐而公正的问题。
In all these settings, Fox News on-air personalities have raised important issues other networks ignored or downplayed. They’ve developed reputations as hard-working journalists who do their homework, know the facts and ask tough, fair questions of all who sit before their cameras.
詹妮弗·格里芬（Jennifer Griffin）：我为福克斯新闻报道过战争、恐怖主义和各种悲剧事件。我发现，福克斯新闻的评论员们具有强烈的保守主义倾向，热爱祖国，并为自己的国家感到自豪；他们热衷于分享自己的观点。在推动全国性、充满尊重的对话氛围的同时，他们也愿意与那些持有不同政治观点的人共同讨论问题。
JENNIFER GRIFFIN: I COVERED WARS, TERROR AND TRAGEDY FOR FOX NEWS. WHAT I FOUND WAS A FAMILY On the opinion side of Fox, the on-air personalities are conservative, patriotic, and proud of our country. They’re passionate about sharing their views. And as they strive for a respectful national conversation, they’re confident enough to share their studios with figures to the left of center.
例如，《The Five》这个节目最初只是为了填补节目空档而设立的临时节目，但后来却成为了福克斯新闻非常受欢迎且长期保留的栏目。想象一下：来自不同政治立场的人在一起讨论各种问题——他们有时意见相左，但总是以同理心、智慧和幽默的态度进行交流！
That is why, for example, "The Five," originally an experiment to fill space while programming was rejiggered, has turned out to be such a popular and durable part of the Fox lineup. Imagine — people from the left and right talking about issues, often disagreeing and sometimes agreeing, but always doing so with empathy, intelligence, wit and, oh, yes, good humor!
玛莎·麦卡勒姆（Martha MacCallum）：在福克斯新闻工作了22年后，我由衷地感到庆幸能成为这里的一员。福克斯新闻既提供了公正、客观的新闻报道，也为那些长期被忽视（甚至在某些情况下被传统媒体看不起）的群体提供了发声的平台。这种平衡的报道方式让福克斯新闻在过去三十年里取得了巨大成功。该频道已成为美国全国性对话的重要组成部分，而我也很荣幸能从2008年1月起成为其中的一员。
MARTHA MACCALLUM: AFTER 22 YEARS, HERE'S WHY I'M GRATEFUL TO CALL FOX HOME This combination of fair and balanced news coverage and an opinion voice for a large element of the country that was ignored — and, in some cases, looked down upon by those who ran the existing national media — has made for an exciting three decades for Fox. This network has become a vital part of America’s national dialogue, and I’ve been honored to be part of it since January 2008.
