Aside from the fact that Fox News isn't all that right-wing anyway (more accurately described as slightly right of center), why should it matter at all what cable television company is used?
Point is, automagically deeming a news channel to be propaganda simply because you disagree with the slant of their politics, does not change the information presented in that channel, and it's a pretty silly method of argument. For instance, when Fox News reported on that BP oil spill last year, does that mean that the BP spill didn't actually happen because Fox News reported on it?
