The core issue is that a lot of people have no interest in getting themselves better informed. So they choose to take in anything that is bite size and easy to digest. Fox News offers them that: world events with all the nuance and grey areas sliced out and poured over with a big dose of populist rhetoric. People don't have to watch it, there is an on-off button and a channel switch on your TV, plus a world of alternative news sources across traditional media and the internet. Fox News panders to intellectual laziness, it did not create it.
