Nope. Fox News is no "opposite" to any News channel out there. As all of them, they take complex issues and simplify them to allow the uninterested viewer to have an opinion based on limited knowledge.

Zapping through both channels right now I have noticed one difference though, not an "opposite", but a difference nonetheless: FNews has invited a Democrat and a Republican politician to discuss border security, it's the "impartial", "neutral", "fair and balanced" thing. BBC International has just aired a report about the Australian Islamic Cleric who compared women to meat and men to uncontrolled cats. BBC-I has interviewed a supporter of the cleric and a moderate Muslim. The difference is that FN's actually puts opposing points of view on screen.
