Your hypotheticals are always pretty silly.
there are some people that don't realize FOX exists to offer a right-wing altenative to left-wing news. They think FOX sits in the middle. It's hard to discuss anything with them, when they begin in such a place. It's like arguing with a kid about whether or not santa likes poor kids... the kid cannot accept the truth about santa, so everything built upon it, every debate, is flawed by definition.
FOX being the 'most trusted' - voted upon by those who watch it. What does that mean? It means cnn and msnbc viewers have a more critical eye on what the TV tells them, and those who watch FOX just nod along and agree with everything. I mean, think of how many repubs COMPLETELY ABANDONED their position on amnesty in 5 minutes, because, well, FOX said so. THink of how many repubs COMPLETELY ABANDONED their position on impeachment in 5 minutes, because, well, FOX said so.
Most trusting viewers. That's what FOX has. They'll abandon positions (like closing the border) they've held for 50 years, in five minutes, because Rush limbaugh, a man who admits carrying water in the past, tells them to. MOST TRUSTING - not most trusted. Hope this helps.
