Why is FOX News always the top result in Google News?

Every time I type in a query in google news FOX comes up first. Case in point, I typed in "Coleman" to see the latest and the first fucking thing is a Hannity article. They must be paying for that.

1. Is it free to most basic cable packages? Seems it is on everywhere in public

I know lots of people where I live who get FAUX, but not MSNBC on their TVs. If FAUX is basic, and other news has to be added on, a lot of the masses will rely on what they are familiar with, and it is no accident that would be FAUX.

2. Google should change their algorithm...

...to favor our progressive charges. They are on our side; after all, they held off the Google Bomb until Barack got into office. I think that it's possible to control the search parameters in this regard to prevent the corporatists from maintaining their stranglehold on information technology.
