Based on the concept that the Foxnews channel gets significantly higher rating than CNN (O'Reilly gets almost 3 times more viewers than any CNN program), I fear that the slanted, one sided opinions of this station are taken as fact by a few too many people.
When FNC was added to Canadian sat tv, I watched it for a couple of days. It was right at the start of the Katrina stuff, and I couldn't believe how much they were covering up, sweeping under the rug, and how hard they were working to discredit any democrat involved in the process.
My favorite piece of amusement is this: The O'Reilly factor is a real pumper on terms like "fair and unbiased", "the no spin xzone" or whatever - and then the first thing that they have at the start of the show is called "talking points". How can you be a "no spin zone" when you are specifying up front what your spin will be on the stories, and which stories merit discussion and which don't?
Mr Snow joining the Whitehouse just moves the link between FNC and the WhiteHouse from "somewhat obvious" to "holy fuck".
