"The real impact of Fox News is not so much its ability to change peoples' minds," Turcotte says, "but to increase the mobilization effect, to convince and embolden the conservative base to show up at the polls and vote Republican

I agree with that. FOX News is doing to the TV public what Rush Limbaugh did ten years ago- It is letting normal, conservative people that their views are not out of the mainstream. And, yes, that emboldens them to vote.
