Fox is fake opposition to the mainstream media, in the same way that establishment Republicans are a fake opposition to liberalism. They're a false flag operation, creating the illusion of dissent and opposition with empty rhetoric while doing nothing of substance in action. If anyone doubts this, just look at Boehner and McConnell's voting record, or the way in which Fox marginalizes candidates to the right of Bush or Romney.
