I've heard a lot about FOX News, but the thing I've heard the msot about them, is that they aren't part of mainstream media, and frequently criticize CNN and MSNBC for being part of it.
I've heard Sarah Palin remark that she won't let mainstream media block her message, and various negative references about mainstream media, but at the same time, she is a correspondent on FOX, and I haven't heard her say anything negative towards them.
So, this begs the question, is FOX part of the mainstream media they detest or not?
By the numbers, FOX has more viewers than any other news channel out there. They feature news, or "entertainment" like Glenn Beck, almost the entire day. They take a political bias like MSNBC.
By the definition from Wikipedia, which is "those media disseminated via the largest distribution channels."
I think without a doubt, FOX News is part of the "lamestream media" Palin among others detests.
EDIT: Is it possible for a Mod to make the poll public?
