If FOX, the cable leader, is so insignficant, then I suppose the rest of the media is completely insignficant. But we all know that isnt the case. But tonight is a "Fox doesnt matter" night. For something so insignificant, liberals out here spend an aweful lot of time trying to bash FOX.

I don't think Fox is as much of a problem as most liberals do. Yes, Fox explicitly lies to its audience to make them feel better about believing in a conservative ideology, but this audience is seeking out these kinds of lies, and would seek them out from an alternative source if they didn't exist (such as AM radio). The only danger that Fox news really plays is when the viewers of Fox start repeating the lies to the non-viewers of Fox, nobody tries to debunk them because they think the lies are so ridiculous that no one would actually believe them, and rumors and such get started.
