I noticed the big change in FoxNews almost immediately after the 2010 midterm elections. Before then, they were covering live tea-party events, they had more grassroots-oriented issues, they even had Greta down on the border discussing the invasion of illegals.
But by the beginning of 2011, it seemed like the GOP-establishment types totally took over... Karl Rove became omnipresent, the tea-party was dropped like a hot rock, Palin suddenly started getting really shabby treatment by all the talking-heads, and the whole border/amnesty issue disappeared entirely. FoxNews became totally “beltway” centric. I guessed it was all a sort of a deliberate paving-the-way for a Romney run.
All this frankly drove away this long-time viewer. FoxNews used to practically be the ‘default’ position on my tv-set, going back to its inception. Nowadays, I hardly ever watch the channel. Maybe 30-minutes per month, at most.
When did Ailes have that lunch with Soros? Around the same time?
That's why we need "The Blaze." Do you know that Beck has offered to buy several existing cable networks, including Al Jazeera, but no one will sell to him?
What does that tell you?
