Why is Fox News allowed in the Breaking News forum?

They shouldn’t be either.

That would depend on the specific story (article?) being used/cited - if it is labeled as opinion or "news analysis" (which are the same thing, IMHO) then it should not be acceptable from any source as BN, but fine for general political discussion.

Well, you’re splitting hairs. Neither is a news source. They only report what comes from other sources of news. And most of the time with their bias thrown in.
 
Moderator's Warning:
Whether someone likes Fox News or doesn't, it is a valid MSM source. If we're going to remove Fox News, as the author of the OP suggested, we would have to remove CNN, MSNBC and others - even though they all fit the definition of MSM. You don't have to like Fox News, in fact you can hate them, but it doesn't change their status as a valid MSM source per our rules.
