Foxnews is the #1 cable channel, but it's audience is a small minority of the population. Many other folks get news that is biased.

Does Foxnews have a conservative slant? Absolutely. Is it the mirror-image of MSNBC? Not even close. CNN leans further to the left than Foxnews leans to the right.

Foxnews isn't a far-right station (though it has hosts like Hannity who are). Foxnews just appears so far-right, because when everyone else is 100 miles to the left, center-right appears far to the right.
How do they say, if you eat your own #^&#^&#^&#^& long enough you'll think it's ice cream?
