I've heard Trump name-check them enough and seen the John Oliver piece to know what they are about. But in terms of overall bias of all of their coverage, they aren't that far off MSNBC.

I've never watched them but my understanding is they do try to be a legit (but very right leaning) news network except with their Trump coverage. Their Trump coverage is basically state media, though, to the point that they had an internal policy in 2016 to not post or mention any polls that aren't favorable to Trump.
I'm guessing they knew Trump's personality and saw playing to his narcissism as their path to be a recognized news agency.
