I believe talk radio is a far bigger influence than Fox News. Daily Primetime audience for Fox is typically between 2 and 3 million (usually at the lower end). Meanwhile, just the top 5 conservative talk radio shows combine for over 53 million listeners each week (I know there will be overlap in there - but Sean Hannity alone consistently reaches 5 to 7 times as many people daily on his radio show as he does on his Fox News show)

Program Weekly listeners (in millions)

The Sean Hannity Show 14.5
The Mark Levin Show 12
The Glenn Beck Program 10
The Dan Bongino Show 8.75
The Mike Gallagher Show 8.5

Killing Fox news would be great but unless something is done to address conservative talk radio, the propaganda will still reach huge numbers of Americans.
