he said he started a network to tell things from the right (wing) point of view.

also from Wikipedia:
The Fox News Channel (FNC) is an American basic cable and satellite news television channel that was founded by media mogul Rupert Murdoch in 1996. In 2001 Roger Ailes appointed himself as permanent CEO of this news operation that was created as a Republican-centered alternative to CNN.In January 2002, the ratings of the channel surpassed top-rated CNN to become the #1 news cable channel.

CNN was not started as a "Democratic Centered" network but Fox News was started to spread repuglican BS, and they do it well.
