White House Fox Bashing and Afghanistan Elections
Rather good panel discussion on the issues. I especially note Charles
Krauthammer's comments, including:
"Look, the great thing of Fox News is it broke the monopoly of the liberal media. That's the reason why it is so wildly successful.
I once said years ago that the genius of Roger Ailes and Rupert Murdoch is to have discovered a niche of American broadcasting audience in news, namely, half of the American people.
And the other consequence is that it angers the Obama administration, which is used to, particularly after last year, wall to wall adulation.
I mean, this is almost comical if you look at the lineup. On the one hand, in the tank are NBC, ABC, CBS, NPR, PBS, CNN and MSNBC. Some of these like MSNBC are so in the tank they need scuba gear. Some of them occasionally emerge for a breath of air, but only occasionally.
And FOX stands up and refuses to bend a knee, and that's what they can't stand."
