As far as I know Fox TV stations have no connection to the Fox with the cable news channel aside from being part of the same company in the past.

It’s reasonable for people with center-right, centrist, or left-leaning politics to distrust Fox affiliates. Some of them are in fact still owned by the same company as Fox News.

TV network affiliates can be either independently owned or owned & operated by the network. Disney did not acquire either the Fox TV network or the Fox TV O&O stations in the recent Fox studio sale to Disney, likely because Disney already owns the ABC TV network and strategic ABC affiliates.
