This video, produced by Robert Greenwald and Brave New Films, exposes what Fox News devotees have known for years: Fox consistently runs the sexual content it purports to despise:
Greenwald and Brave New Films use the video to call for a la carte cable—they don’t want viewers to have to pay for the “smut” that frequently graces Fox’s stories. I’m hesitant to label anything “smut” in hopes that it’ll be censored, but the film also effectively highlights Fox News’s hypocrisy. If sexual television content is so bad for America, and the liberal media is responsible for hyper-sexualizing America, why does Fox run so much gratuitous, unnecessary, irrelevant sexual content?

But they were right.
This sort of 'ooh, but isn't that scandalous' stuff is what the average Fox viewer gets off on. It's a mingling of sex and power and condemnation and judgment.
They watch, oh do they want to watch, but they feel like they shouldn't want to watch - so they want the host to tell them what a bad girl, what a dirty slut the girl is... while they still watch.
