The reason many are not protesting such contemptuous treatment from the media here in the US, FOX in particular, is because they don't understand that they are being treated with contempt.

They have been persuaded to believe that the media (FOX in particular) is protecting them from the leftist, Ivory Tower "intellectual elite", who are working to undermine their way of life as well as the very fabric of this nation and society. This is, of course, a tried and true method with which the real ruling elite have controlled and contained the masses for a very long time.
