Fox News is an interesting network in the sense that it is hard to figure out if some of its decision makers are pro-right wing or anti-left wing. It's not the same thing, either.
For example, it seems sometimes that Fox News is more interested in launching attack after attack on President Obama and other Democrats more so then it is in trying to make the case for Republican presidential candidates like (are you ready for this?) Mitt Romney and Newt Gingrich. Don't get me wrong, Fox News will work to carry the mail for Romney and Gingrich (or other contenders) when necessary for rehabilitation purposes.
But, for the most part, it seems Fox News has a mission to attack those on the left and that has been no more evident than with President Obama.
Still, is this helping or hurting the right wing?

Stunning, yet an unsurprising among of cognitive dissonance on your part.
I apologize Sandy - I had forgotten all about you and your blog. It took a link from another blog to remind me.
Seriously bro - take all that you say about Fox News and they try hard. Harder than you ever thought was possible to take this line of thinking and then apply it to the new "corporate media sponsored" and I quote "Black Blogs" - The Grio, The Root, etc.
You see while Fox News is also a "corporate media" these other sources represent themselves as BLACK. Yet after many decades of "Speaking Truth To Power" as a "Black Rite Of Passage" - these Obama Fist Bump Black Press Operatives - for example - when they see Libya invaded, Pakistan been bombed with drones and the US Navy SEALS shooting 12 Somalians to save 3 White folks - they are seen CHEERING for Obama's "Strength" in leading the American Imperialist Military machine.
Are you sure that you and these others are not as ideologically bigoted as Fox News is?
With 50 years of investments of our EQUAL BLACK BALLOTS - could you justify another round of investment in VOTING as a means of salvation for the Black community?
Clearly there is some other gateway because this ain't working.
So-called "black blogs" as you joyfully label are straightforward about their agenda. I can respect that honesty (whether I agree or disagree with the content). Fox News is dishonest about its obvious right-wing agenda/lean.
