Not exactly....
Look at broadcast "news" overall, cable as well as broadcast. Doesn't matter if you watch Fox or anything else. ALL of it is embarrassingly bad. Much of the print media is not much better. People tune in for viewpoint validation and entertainment. A majority of them get their "news" from Facebook, Twitter and late night comics.
The news junkies are probably less than 15 percent of the adult population. And I use the term "news junkie" very loosely.
