I don't think that is the case. Rating and polls show that FOX is the most trusted source for news amongst ALL Americans. This leads me to believe it's the fact that people get to hear both sides of an issue. Which to me, no matter my philosophical leanings is very important. I have had very strong opinions in the past and been swayed by information or arguments contrary to those beliefs. If I'm watching/reading/listening to the news I want to hear both sides.



It is only because the other networks all tilt so far left that Fox News seems "right wing extreme" to liberals by comparison.
