Fox News has always relied on wrapping their lies with just enough truth so that their viewers will buy the lie.
Of course their viewers are more than anxious to do that because they want the lie to be the truth.
Fox News is their way to "validate" the lies their viewers already hold dear in their hearts.
Believe me, I have several relatives who can't get enough of the Fox Kool-Aid.
