LOL - on any given day Fox New is a ratings juggernaut or they are totally feckless.... all depending on the argument at the moment
Fact of the matter is that a lot of people in this country watch Fox News (as right wingers on this board insist all the time) and they absolutely shape public perception on a topic.
I'll go you one further. There are a lot of people in this country that ONLY watch Fox News
If they didn't see it on Fox News then it didn't happen
The fact also is they are a big part of the RIGGED MEDIA that you mentioned before
A lot of people do watch Fox News. Mostly old people. It's one company, all the rest are left leaning. NBC, ABC, CBS, CNN, MSNBC, you name it. Literally everyone else.
Democrats have a stranglehold on the education system and the media. News, television, movies, print media. Tech companies like Facebook and Twitter are all serious leftist. Everyting is loaded with leftist laking points. To argue otherwise is absurd.
Republicans own talk radio and they have some voices on Youtube but the powers that be are censoring and banning them out of existence.
