I think you are missing my point. I haven't watched Fox News in two decades. I am not arguing whether they are good or bad.
What I am saying is that the political discourse in this country had to have been broken down for Fox News to even exist. People don't feel disenfranchised for no reason and a lot of folks do.
When I see people blame entities or the other side for big problems I see a symptom of what I feel is a larger problem. We don't want to take responsibility for our own faults anymore. I can blame the liberal media, I can blame Fox News, I can blame the libs or the cons, just as long as I can pretend my poop doesn't stink.
