You mention Fox News and people knowing when they're manipulated and I struggle to see how that squares with the current reality of Fox News being the most popular news network and rising populism that very much relies on manipulation.

People want to be manipulated in this case and Fox is just delivering their enemy of choice.

I don't believe people explicitly (or maybe knowingly) want to be manipulated, though.
