Or at least that’s what these Fox News personalities have said publicly. It’s common to say that conservatives distrust the media, but conservative viewers trust Fox about as much as Democrats trust CNN. More factual coverage would not strengthen Fox News’s bond with its viewers; it would likely drive them elsewhere. But Fox News understands that its success depends on maintaining a fantasy world, rather than doing anything to disturb it. What makes Fox News unique is not that it is conservative, but that its on-air personalities understand that telling lies is their job.
