Are there ppl that still take fox seriously? Fox has been a joke of a news organization for many years. We live in an era where everything is about making the most money possible and "news" is one of the best examples of this. If organizations gave the news straightforward they would not make money. However if they create news and controversy ppl are more likely to watch, thus better ratings and greater profits. Fox preys on ppls fear and ignorance, which creates more fear and ignorance. It's a great business model and they are very good at it.
