7. I check the basic news aggregate several times a day...
And have business related alerts going too. The vast majority of the time I see a Fox story up top... I always click on the related link if I'm interested in the story, just because.

2. Probably because the large ignorant portion of the US looks at Fox so much. As I understand
it part of the automated algorithm for Google News depends on articles/sources most viewed.

3. Probably only happens in the USA
Doesn't for example happen if you use your link in the UK - just get BBC and CNN.

Similarly if you google Fucks Gnus from the UK you only get DU posts.

Other than that I can only assume you're in NY and this is something to do with spreading the gnus.

4. Uber Secret.....
Upper right hand corner click Setting > News Settings

Under "Less news from"
enter "FoxNews" click Add.

Note there is no space in FoxNews. You may need a gmail/google account I am not sure. I am always logged into mine.

5. Please, you are insulting gnus.
They are noble creatures in comparison.
