Ailes created Fox with its asshole opinionators to be pro-Repug, pro-business, pro-inflammation of the old white men, racists, xenphobes, but they have gotten a lot worse when that dirty, too-smart, cool, Muslim terrorist knitter got into the WH.
As the oligarchy/Capital CRUSHED Labor since St Ronnie was elected, even back in the '70s, their victims were poor, rural, low-ed, low-wage, futureless, desperate, pissed off in the extreme, and Fox always exploited that. Hate, misogynism, vengeance (let's go hurt someone, Trash was elected to hurt people), xenophobia, racism, white male Macho Man toxic masculinity, LGBT hate, are what drives Repugs/Fox/right-wing-hate-media strategy.
