I don't know where you picked this idea up from, aside from Fox itself, and I also doubt you can be "disabused" of this position. But it doesn't belong here.
Fox is an influential network, yes, but that it should haven been given a license as a news organization at all has been in dispute from the very beginning. Many other nations rightly do not allow this kind of thing.
In any case, that Fox is a mainstream news source is itself right-wing disinformation.
The content of our major media is being continually evaluated by various organizations. Perhaps a quarter to third of Fox's content overlaps that of respectable right wing journals like the WSJ; another similar amount overlaps the blatant lies of Infowars, Dailly Caller, and their like; and the largest bloc between the two has a hard-right bias in which facts are routinely twisted or omitted with specific effect of deluding rather than informing.
By the way, when tested on knowledge, those who got their news from Fox scored lower than those who pay no attention to any news source.
