Fox is a reaction to the predominantly left leaning media... simple as that. I choose to think that the popularity of the station is indicative of the fact that the general population isn't quite as ignorant as politions would like them to be and therefore choose to balance off all the little helpings of left with a big helping of right.
I didn't realise that other nations would act in such a way, but if it's true, the fact that such an "abomination" would not be allowed in other nations is nothing more than a limit on personal freedom in those nations, sad really.
I personally think they're at least honest... they don't even try to hide their partisanship behind an illusion of neutrality like the rest of the media (US and Abroad).
In order for me to get a balanced view of an event I find I have to read at least 4 sources... foxnews.com is usually one along with cnn.com, bbc.com, and drudge. I no longer have cable (too much of a waste of money for me to bear) so all my news comes online. When I DID have cable the only news source that I'd classify as unbiased was CSpan.
