You're mostly correct but not exactly. Fox news is merely the only center-right leaning network when it comes to commentary, so by contrast to the rest of the media they look like right wing extremists. When practically every other mainstream media source is aligned with the left there's not much room for dissenting voices. The tendency on the left a label everyone who disagrees with them as a racist, misogynist, Xenophobic, or some other phobia that they have yet to come up with makes normal people tune them out. I agree with the need to find common ground, but when you have two political philosophies that are so divergent, two worldviews that are so diametrically opposed, and the media that props up one side and perpetually diminishes the other there's bound to be conflict and division. The division and hysteria that the media is fostering has the potential to turn into a powder keg of something much much worse.
