If you someday want to have a discussion where I need to " supply arguments that show that and how Fox's general sentiments/tictacs/arguments are applicable to Christianity at large", that could be kind of fun but it's not necessary here.
This is where you start from:
- Fox is a news organization
- Fox drives a hardcore conservative agenda
- Fox drives a hardcore christian agenda
- Fox is a part of western christianity
- Fox employs a certain tactic
This is where you want to go:
- Western Christianity employs a certain tactic.
You don't get from start to finish until you show: "The tactic that Fox uses is representative of what Christianity does."
