The skeptic movement is a collective endeavor that promotes the respect for knowledge and truth, methodological naturalism, science, reason, critical thinking, and consumer protection, and aims to distinguish legitimate science from pseudoscience, uphold ideological freedom, understand cognitive biases, address specific flawed or pseudoscientific claims, maintain cultural memory of past pseudosciences and scams, and improve science communication and journalism.

Fox News is facing accusations of altering Associated Press (AP) and Reuters articles to incite animosity against transgender individuals.

A media watchdog group discovered instances where Fox News modified the language of these articles, including direct quotes, using terms like "sex change" or "sex reassignment" instead of the more widely accepted term "gender-affirming care."

Fox News has also reportedly altered or removed terms such as "care" and "medical care" when discussing the healthcare needs of transgender people.

Critics argue that by not disclosing these changes, Fox News is distorting the true implications of legislation affecting transgender youth.
