As long as military bases allow full and free choice of all common/various news programs and entertainment shows - including CNN, NBC, CBS, etc.- then Fox News should be allowed as well. Fox may well have turned into a far right propaganda machine full of lies, but people still have the right to watch it if they choose.
Military bases certainly have the option to inform soldiers that such a program should be regarded as or is technically seen as entertainment, and can notify all personnel that they should use their best judgment when understanding and interpreting "news" and the analysis of said news from any program. Or, if they don't feel like taking a stance (and I'm assuming they probably would not), they don't have to say anything at all- just make a wide variety of news programs available to all of their personnel.
I don't like censoring what people watch, no matter how bad the subject material may be. That starts us down a slippery slope of canceling what we dislike. I could absolutely see a scenario where Republicans ban CNN or liberal publications because they don't like what is said and shown there. I think it's best to have everything available and let people choose as they will.
I’m not sure the last time it was that you were on a Military Base, but all the common room TV’s are all on Fox News 24x7 so it’s not like they are being objective. I was once told by one of these MAGA people that when the Civil War happens the Military will be on their side. They might be particularly right with the amount of brainwashing they receive. I mean it’s hard to ignore that garbage when it’s shoved down your throat everywhere you turn.
