Who is being deceived? Not you, not me, who? It is obvious that Fox News is different than CNN, MSNBC, ABC, NBC and CBS. Fox News does not trick people into watching. People watch and they come back because they find the way Fox News presents the news is new and refreshing. From the article in the OP:
Quote:
“When I first got there back in the day, and I don’t know how they indoctrinate people now, but back in the day when they were “training” you, as it were, they would say, ‘Here’s how we’re different.’ They’d say if there is an execution of a condemned man at midnight and there are all the live truck outside the prison and all the lives shots. CNN would go, ‘Yes, tonight John Jackson, 25 of Mississippi, is going to die by lethal injection for the murder of two girls.’ MSNBC would say the same thing.
“We would come out and say, ‘Tonight, John Jackson who kidnapped an innocent two year old, raped her, sawed her head off and threw it in the school yard, is going to get the punishment that a jury of his peers thought he should get.’ And they say that’s the way we do it here.

The above is subtle, but I like it. My sympathy is aligned with the victims of crime not criminals.
On a broader view have you folks noticed a pattern, success is often equated to deceit in the minds of some. The thinking seems to be - the only way X can be as successful as they are is because they deceive people. Deception and long-term success are not correlated.
