The Clintons were "the reason Fox News was created", Chelsea Clinton has said, as she criticised its "destructive impact" particularly around climate change.
Speaking alongside her mother Hillary Clinton in an interview with Variety, the pair discussed working together on their documentary series Gutsy, and whether a woman will ever be president of the United States.
They were interviewed as part of the magazine's 2022 Power of Women series.
"We were the reason that Fox News was created," Chelsea said.
"Because Rupert Murdoch recognised a great market opportunity."
Addressing its coverage of climate change, she continued: "Climate change illuminated where Fox News was willing to go and its destructive impact.
"It's not singularly about Fox News; it's also about conservative and right-wing enterprises that sprung up during the 1990s and early 2000s."
She added: "I'm 42, and when I was in junior high, two-thirds of Americans knew human activity is partly responsible for climate change.
"The right proved to themselves, 'We can hit people with relentless misinformation and every night pipe into their homes to disbelieve scientists - what else could be possible?' Today, with COVID, it's the same playbook."

She is absolutely her mother's daughter.
(Her father's daughter? Probably not.)

Climate Change is a hoax.
Well, thanks Clintons. FOX has had a pretty decent run.
No. That was Webb Hubbles doing.
Yeah and “this country was built on slavery,” right?
So what are you saying, Chelsea, you and Mom want some of those ‘evil’ Fox News profits?
If we’re talking legacy, you might as well add that her family was also the reason that millions of elementary school children learned about blowjobs in the 1990s.
Hey Psycho bitch 2.0 - it was because of.......
THE VAST RIGHT WING CONSPIRACY!
Haha, the innermost circle!
Poor Chelsea; she’s living PROOF that ignorance is inherited.
Webb Hubbel’s daughter knows nothing about “climate change”. She just parrots propaganda.
Two generations of Clintoons...and both are full of themselves.
Go away! Please! Go away!
And Al Gore created the internet!!! 🤣
Interesting how Rush Limbaugh rose in the radio world before Bubba was anything more than a company asset in Woo Pig Soooey Ar-kansas. Chels missed those college history classes which encouraged young skulls full of mush to go into the archives of their college library and read through old magazines and newspapers to see what the propagandizers were pushing through the decades. She should try it some time. Maybe they don’t have those resources at Stanford.
When will Chels take an electric plane to the South Pole?
Wasn’t one of their campaign points that Amy was going to public school in DC? (accompanied by a platoon of SecServ agents, for course).
