Gosh, I must have missed the last few "documentary films" put out by FOX NEWS.
While it's true that Faux News presents itself as "Fair and Balanced", nobody believes that any more than they believe Pro Wrestling is real. Even most hardcore conservatives will admit to the obvious slant Fox puts on their news.

Face it, in every single country in the world, a majority of the populace don't really care about politics and purely base their opinions on what little they read in the paper or see on tv. And when they're suddenly goaded into having an opinion, they stick with what little they know or are easily impressionable by whatever the next charismatic moron tells them to be the truth. Call me cynical or whatever (I know I am), but the media influence should
never be underestimated, however silly its output may look to people who *do* take the trouble of staying well-informed.
