Personally I don't watch Fox News, although I sometimes watch FBN. Actually I barely watch any television at all. I am an older white guy so I can't speak for the Black experience. But why shouldn't they watch Fox news (versus, say, all the other equally lame cable 24-hour news channels?) Just curious. You probably know something I don't.
