My 'pushing' public opinion, I mean that they're trying to change public opinion and shape it and turn it into what they want it to be. Fox News has been EXTREMELY effective with that, but since the only people who watch Fox News or really take them seriously are people who are already hard-line Republicans, all it's done is push the Republican base from a moderate position to an extreme position.

The ironic thing is that if you are correct (and I think there is decent evidence that you are) this is probably part of the reason that Republicans have been losing elections. They have shed the big tent. Fox doesn't just bash liberals, but also moderate republicans and libertarians who used to be welcome in the party. Left wingers should be sending them a thank you card every year.
