6. Confirmation bias strikes again.
We believe Fox viewers are idiots and we look for confirmation that this is true. So we don't recognize that a piece about the idiocy of Fox viewers is satire.

It has been established as a matter of fact that Fox viewers are less well-informed than people who listen to NPR, for example. Who needs satire?
