The Fox News effect or Fox effect is a marketing term that states that the development of the cable news network Fox News Channel has had a major impact on the conduct of both domestic politics in the United States and news coverage by FNC's domestic industry competitors. The term is similar to the CNN effect, coined several years earlier, which suggests that the Cable News Network had a major impact on the conduct of states' foreign policy in the late Cold War period, and that the influence of CNN and its subsequent industry competitors has continued in the post–Cold War era.

Famous quotes containing the words fox and/or effect:
“Perhaps of all our untamed quadrupeds, the fox has obtained the widest and most familiar reputation.... His recent tracks still give variety to a winter’s walk. I tread in the steps of the fox that has gone before me by some hours, or which perhaps I have started, with such a tip-toe of expectation as if I were on the trail of the Spirit itself which resides in the wood, and expected soon to catch it in its lair.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“No being exists or can exist which is not related to space in some way. God is everywhere, created minds are somewhere, and body is in the space that it occupies; and whatever is neither everywhere nor anywhere does not exist. And hence it follows that space is an effect arising from the first existence of being, because when any being is postulated, space is postulated.”
—Isaac Newton (1642–1727)
