Fox News exposure linked to Republican gains in elections over two decades

The article from MSN, citing a study by the National Bureau of Economic Research, discusses how exposure to Fox News has influenced Republican voting patterns over the past two decades. The research indicates that since 2000, when Fox News became widely available, there has been a noticeable shift in voter behavior, with areas that had greater access to Fox News showing increased support for Republican candidates. This trend was particularly pronounced in the 2000 and 2004 presidential elections, where Fox News' presence was linked to a significant boost in Republican vote share. The study suggests that Fox News not only mobilized existing Republican voters but also swayed undecided or less politically engaged viewers towards Republican candidates. However, the influence of Fox News has evolved; while its impact was substantial in earlier elections, its effect has moderated in more recent years, possibly due to changes in media consumption habits and the proliferation of alternative conservative media outlets.
