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

Let's not forget that Fox (we well as other news outlets) have a lot of viewers who don't watch live TV, but catch their videos on various social media platforms. Facebook and X/Twitter are probably two of the more important channels.

Those social media platforms with their algorithms do a lot to reinforce whatever news sources you are watching.

It would be interesting to see how effective these algorithms are based on income and education strata. My hypothesis is that they are more effective on those with less education and/or lower incomes. Ultimately, education teaches you how to think about the world around you, and to rationally question sources of information.
