But it's also true that the audience MSNBC is going after is younger
than Fox's audience, and is used to getting its information from far
more different sources.  The Fox audience, as has been revealed in
survey after survey, is distrustful of pretty much all other media
outlets.[1]  Both audiences tend to prefer sources that confirm their
biases rather than challenging them.
