One would think that it would (indeed should) have an impact on the viewers of Fox News. Unfortunately, though, I think a lot of people watch Fox because it's what they want to hear, so I'm not sure it will have an impact.
Everyone chooses their media because it gives them what they want to hear, Fox News is no different from MSNBC in that arena. MSNBC viewers want to hear what Maddow tells them, you can't deny that. The one and only problem is that Fox News has a LOT more people making the choice to watch them and that infuriates the left.

People on the Right watch Fox exclusively while people on the Left, like myself, will skip around and watch all the news sources---including Fox---for balance.
No Faux News won't be damaged...You have to realize who their audience is. Every rational, stable person with any common sense can already see what partisan garbage the network spews.
Their core audience are the brain-dead, extreme right-wing talk-radio sheeple...There's nothing in this world that would shake those people's rabid faith in the Faux News/talk-radio propaganda machine...even if Baby Jesus told them Faux News is garbage!

No, I can deny that because I actually want to be educated when I watch news. I admit that I sometimes watch Fox News or MSNBC, but it's because I'm interested in seeing just how blatantly biased they can become while still being somewhat believable to, say, my next door neighbor. There is an alarming absence of substantive news in the U.S. Try watching BBC, CBC, PBS, C-SPAN, or even Al Jazeera. It's very matter-of-fact reporting, but you might actually learn something by watching it.
But one of the biggest fallacies I keep reading about and hearing is the notion that we need multiple perspectives, which presumes that there is going to be an outrageous level of bias among individual news outlets and that individual viewers should be left to decide what is fair and balanced. This flawed notion proposes that individuals triangulate between the various sources of factual distortion to come up with their own version of truth...which is bunk.
News should be reported factually and followed up with deeper analysis, but without editorializing. It's nonsense to suggest that there are always two sides to every story.

I'm on the right, far right to be exact and I don't watch Fox News at all, all of my fellow right wing friends don't watch Fox News and never listen to Rush. Once again, you watch and listen to what you want to hear just like a good little liberal.
The question now becomes; who else's phones did Fox News hack?
I know you lefties have a reading comprehension problem. Read your own post. FBI investigating allegations, And you state "who else did". Show us your great intelligence as how you jump from Alleged to who else did.
Hate is such a wasteful use of time.
