It's not a difficult question despite your attempts at personalizing this to avoid answering it.

If you believe they have and do work to spread racism, that they are part of our national culture and that culture influences or grows racism then the corporate media; which FOX is certainly a part of has made at least some of our neighbors "racist shitheads."
