Surely you must be joking.
Yeah, my father in-law watches only Fox News and I can tell you that the people that watch it take it as fact without checking things out for themselves. Fox blatantly lies, tells half truths, and distorts the truth, over and over while under the guise of credible news. It gives the conservatives what they believe to be factual basis for their beliefs. Pandering or not, it has made a huge impact on the American political landscape.
