If you want to educate / convince people, use the whole sentence from a Fox article "according to a new report from the Congressional Budget Office, the Bush era tax cuts...". That way you're citing the CBO, not Fox. Whether or not they are right to do so, people do in fact trust primary sources more than they trust Fox. Fox is a great place to find information, just read what their source is. A lot of times the source Obama himself. They can dismiss Fox as being against Obama, but when he implicates himself in his own words they are nearly forced to see the truth.
