Fox may be the epitome of the worst that happens in corporate media, but they are ubiquitous across the nation. Their numerous channels are carried free by all TV broadcasters. We all know the talking points that are handed down each day as part of the script to be used by the anchors. We all know Fox panders to the least informed, and strives to keep them ignorant. We know that Fox appeals to the most base instincts of their viewers as the blonds with the short skirts breathlessly deliver the "news." The morning morons deserve to be parodied by late-night comedians.
Fox is not a news channel -- it is a propaganda channel -- we deride them and we expose their lies, but they remain as the go-to channel for much of America, especially in rural and southern areas, where the channel enjoys extremely high viewership. When people have few choices for news, and Fox is the biggest and most prolific outlet of propaganda, misinformation and disinformation, it will take creativity and a whole lot of money to counter their influence. I don't see it on the horizon. as Fox uses their multi-outlets to debase and defame any and all critics -- and of course, their viewers believe them.
