There are a lot of bars that have fox news running on the tv, but I rarely ever see anyone actually watching it and they usually have the sound turned down, so people can pay attention to the sportscast on one of the other TVs hanging from the wall.
I saw a video on youtube not long ago, of a group home of alzheimers' patients. They kept fox news on as a default, even though most of their patients would just stare at the screen and not absorb a single word being said. Maybe most people don't really actually watch it. Maybe it's popular because it's "shiny."
