With all due respect, I believe you are a little bit out of touch with the "working-class" and the many ways pervasive media got a media-master like Trump elected.

Fox News Channel has approximately 1.5 million daily viewers. For comparison, approximately 20 million viewers watch the "big three" network news.

Very few Americans actually watch Fox News. It is a giant among cable news, but very few Americans watch cable news. Very few Americans watch televised news at all, to any great extent.

It's influential and important, of course. Its audience surely overrepresents the hardcore politically active folks within the GOP base, and it can serve as an imprimatur and thought leader and political gatekeeper within the party. But not it's not pervasive.

Trump's skill wasn't in getting Fox News to cover him favorably (they would have supported any Republican candidate). It was in getting all the other media to cover him constantly.
