| − | '''Fox Derangement Syndrome''' is a political term referring to the acute onset of paranoia and the loss of rationality in otherwise normal people in reaction to the news, opinion shows, and very existence of the [[Fox News Channel]]. An early example of FDS occured on the December 1, 2003 broadcast of ''Hardball with Chris Matthews'', in which [[liberal]] [[Democratic Party|Democrat]] political commentator [[Chris Matthews]] asked liberal Democrat politican [[Howard Dean]], "Would you break up Fox?". To which Dean replied, "On ideological grounds, absolutely yes."<ref>http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/3607157/</ref>
