When voters were asked “Whose news coverage do you trust the most?” Fox News beat out all other television news organizations – on network and cable.
That's why questions that ask "most trusted" are tailor-made for FOX to crow about. When a liberal or centrist names CNN their "most trusted" network, their answer likely doesn't imply some visceral distrust of CBS or ABC. When a conservative names their "most trusted" network, the answer is functionally equivalent to "only."
tldr: libs split their votes cons don't

Interesting take.
I think you have a point.

Basically.
FOX just piggybacked off what Limbaugh had successfully done for years on the radio. Rush basically made the entire conservative media empire possible by carving out a niche on talk radio that exploded.
In order to make that happen, Rush first convinced his listeners that the mainstream media (I think he coined the term) leans left and couldn't be trusted.
I listened to Rush routinely during the Clinton years, especially at the height of the Hillarycare debate. That was his golden age. FOX News was born not too long after. They got rolling strong with the Lewinsky scandal.
I listen to very little talk radio or FOX News these days. Just pimping their wares to sell more product.
