I have not allowed Fox in my house for more than two decades now. Having all but cut the cable several years ago, that isn't an issue. I can stream CNN/MSNBC when I want to, but I don't have access to Fox except videos posted online.

I agree in educating Kids about why the station is not news and why you will not use your hard-earned money to support them. That shouldn't make it a forbidden "desire," rather it should teach kids the importance of evaluating how and where they get their information and the importance of spending money wisely.
