Or at least when it's lying repeatedly and deliberately. Fox News shouldn't have an audience (this is not a statement about conservatism, it's a statement about Fox News).
But if you're confirming people's biases, particularly regarding some "other" being the enemy (this week it's muslims in NYC), then the truth is going to take a back seat to that warm feeling of self-righteousness.

It's curious that you only mentioned Fox. Many of my progressive friends think that the NYT and ABC, CBS, and NBC shouldn't have audiences either, for pretty much the same reason.
