Um, yeah most people (edit: most people outside America) know Faux News is a load of rubbish. Yet another organisation created by Republicans and sympathisers to push their agenda and spread propaganda.
Seriously, it's amazing how much propaganda the Rethuglicans churn out. It's disturbing not least of all because half of it is designed to cater to the religious nutjobs.
I mean they pretty much created the entire ideas of the 'liberal media elite' and 'media conspiracy' themselves and pushed it onto their followers so that they had a base with which to drill the idea into for the next for decades. The irony is that the most biased major news site is actually Fox, and what they claim is 'liberal media bias' is what we call 'checking the facts', 'listening to both sides', or simply 'telling the truth'.
There's a good analysis of it here: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/mark-green/em7-days-in-americaem-lak_b_138025.html
