Well, some believe that.  Others believe that the purpose is to inform 
the public.

The problem with Fox is that they blur the line between fact and opinion, 
which results in stories being "reported" on opinion shows that push a 
conservative agenda.  They do apparently have serious news shows (that 
some on the left even say do a good job reporting the news rather than 
opining about the news), but I haven't had the patience to wait for that 
2 hour segment during the 24 hour day - always had more important things 
to do.
