Newsmax ^ | Sunday, 15 Dec 2013 10:32 PM | Sandy Fitzgerald

The liberal media watchdog group backed by billionaire George Soros says its “war” on Fox News is over, claiming it has neutralized the right-leaning network and no longer sees it as a threat.

“It’s not just that it’s over, but it was very successful,” Media Matters Executive Vice President Angelo Carusone bragged late this week to The Huffington Post.

“To a large extent, we won,” he said. …

My favorite Yogi, (and he was one of my favorite ballplayers also), back in the day story goes like this. Yogi to his wife: “What did you do today? Wife: “I went to see Doctor Zhivago”. Yogi: “What in the hell is wrong with ya now”?.......

It’s not that Fox News isn’t popular, it that it is not very conservative.

Fox News continues to win in the ratings. MzNBC is getting killed.

Wishful thinking is not a strategy!

They may be right. Here's why:

Like CONgress and the Odinga Administration, the NEW audience--the audience that COUNTS--is the illegal crowd. The hundred million or so expected to just waltz in and put the final nail in the coffin for this country.

They are going to infiltrate foreign language radio and TV and internet (as if there were any doubts to their alligance ) and cater to the new class designed to make our votes, our money, and our voices, irrelevant.

Yes, with liberals coming from CNN like Howard Kurtz and Whore-Aldo, I seldom watch FOX.

I think what they wanted to do was to fracture the GOPe, the conservative movement, and the conservative media alliance.

And to some degree they have increased the infighting by using their Marxists tricks.

Yeah, sounds like libs are taking a lesson in the definition of victory from RINO's. Republicans need to learn to fight like liberals, more like
"The greatest pleasure is to vanquish your enemies and chase them before you, to rob them of their wealth and see those dear to them bathed in tears, to ride their horses and clasp to your bosom their wives and daughters." -- Temujin
Victory isn't complete till you crap down what's left of the guy's neck and what used to be his house is now a public toilet.

MSNBC is losing. They had to can Baldwin and Bashir and now Ed Schultz is under fire for taking union money.

Thus the false offensive on FOX.

“... claiming it has neutralized the right-leaning network and no longer sees it as a threat.”

That’s too rich. So that pretty much means anyone who disagrees with them(Liberals) is a threat. In other words if you don’t lie, cheat, steal, distort, ridicule, threaten, terrorize or silence... your a right-leaning threat that needs to be eliminated.

What a bunch of Commie scumbags Soros and his lackeys are. Like a playground full of 2-year-olds.

That’s just the way I see it too. Faux has been neutered as far as being conservative.

The addicts can't tell yet, and hence their viewership hasn't dwindled.

>> MSNBC is losing.

Which means Comcast is losing to FOX.

I agree. Soros is probably cutting off their allowance.

I did watch alJIZZera TV. Wasted 5 seconds of my life. The moment I switched it on, there they were, interviewing Jimmah Carter. Watching Randy Orton beat up John Cena on the WWE pay-per-view would’ve been more intellectually enlightening.

It used to be the background noise for me on weekends. Now, I turn on cooking contests and how stuff is made.

My favorite Yogi ...

As reported by Whitey Ford:

Yogi is standing next to Whitey Ford on the field during an Old Timers Game at Yankee Stadium. The announcer asks the crowd to note the names of recently departed, past Yankees, that were being prominently displayed on the electronic scoreboard.

Yogi turns to Whitey and said: "I hope I never get to see my name up there."

Megyn Kelly has taken over Hannity's slot and seen ratings grow. But she prides herself on her middle-of-the-road political take, telling NBC's Jay Leno recently that she not a "conservative operative."

“I’m a straight news anchor, I’m not one of the opinion hosts at Fox,” Kelly said.

Frankly, that's all I've ever sought.

I cannot get that at ABCBCNBCPBS.
