I'm curious where Ms. Turner gets the data to support her contention that the Fox audience is "ideologically rigid." Had she fully read the nicely done Politico article, she would have discovered that Pew Research in 2008 found that 39 percent of Fox's audience are Democrats.

Playing the role of token rational person only serves to encourage the Fox liars (pardon the redundancy) and give the channel an unwarranted semblance of actual journalism.
No surprise, really.
