Because Rupert Murdock made his fortune with tabloids, I had envisioned Fox News as beign the tabloidization of the news, because it is that to soem extent. However, I never felt that was quite right, because on Fox you never hear things like "Woman claims to have Elvis' alien ybrid baby that resembles Bigfoot". Then, it finally ocurred tome that Fox News in actually like the national Review (a conservative opinion magazine), which is weighted a great deal more with opinion than facts, and some of their writers are also, like on Fox, not above just making stuff up the only requirements being that it fits the right wing rhetoric, and sounds like some people would believe it.
