....authors of a soon-to-be-published study in the Quarterly Journal of Economics suggest so. They claim, using empirical data, that Fox News's overt conservative-Republican bias actually influenced people to vote for the Republican Party in 2000, and to turn out in greater numbers to do so. They call it "The Fox News Effect."

Horse manure. The "Fox News Effect" has barely scratched the surface in beginning to undo the damage done by decades of liberal bias from the socialist Democrat press and network newsrooms. In fact, "the Fox News effect" can basically be summed up as "finally telling the truth about the Democrat agenda to turn America into a French-style, secular socialist welfare state."

Aside from a few America-hating, capitalism-hating socialist goofballs, Americans don't like that agenda. And so they stopped voting for Democrats. Surprise, surprise.

Or how about this? For decades, the Democrats worked with the tacit aid of the MSM to help to hold together the crumbling New Deal coalition. The problem is that neither side understood that by taking the extreme liberal view (now labeled "middle of the road" by MSM types), that they totally alienated their more conservative base.
