Fox News is more than what most Socialist/Progressive Democrats have been told. For example,Rupert Murdoch has held numerous fundraisers for Hillary Clinton. He was a big Clinton supporter last time around. Most Democrats don't know that though. Murdoch just created a niche and that niche has been incredibly successful. Most of the MSM in the U.S. is Left/Democrat-leaning. That's just the way it is. But many Americans were starving for some alternative Conservative-leaning Media. And Murdoch delivered it via Fox News. They have become THE alternative to Liberal MSM.
Murdoch above all,is a brilliant businessman. And his politics are surprisingly not what most Democrats think they are. Fox News is not as Conservative as most think either. They are moreso a Neocon/Socialist-leaning Network now. They now represent the politics of a Michael Bloomberg. And Bloomberg is not a Conservative. They may be less Left than CNN & NBC but that's not hard to accomplish. That's my take on Fox News anyway. God Bless and have a great day.
Your post is on the head: Fox News is actually centrist, and just as Left as it is Right.
