"The presidential contenders can hardly afford to challenge the Murdoch powerhouse. Many of the Republican candidates have worked as commentators for Fox in the past, and if they hope to do the same in the future, they have to play Fox's game. But in doing so, they are also disqualifying themselves for the country's highest office."

Bret cut Krauthammer off tonight as Charles was going into Romney mode attacking either Santorum or Gingrich.

Fox News has long been seen as the American right's staunchest defender. But this election year has seen the channel demolish the campaigns of several Republican frontrunners. But what is good for ratings may not be good for US conservatives.
Fox News has done Conservatives no favors this election. A lot of us are done with Fox News. For me it was the celebrity smut they were masquerading as news, but it was not helped by them shilling for Romney or pushing the homosexual agenda to our children with the Fox network.
Fox News will not be watched in my household ever again.

Faux News-Romney is dead to me. They started losing me when they were the network of “dead blondes and white Broncos”, with Greta van Gasbag and Gerry Rivers as their leading muckrakers. Even COL North won’t talk to them anymore.

Ailes and Murdoch put the hammer down on even the mention of the term
natural born Citizen by the hired help.
They are no friends to our Constitution.

My dad used to tell me that nobody could ever take away my integrity. He said to lose it, I had to give it away.... and once gone, I could never get it back.
I’ve kept my integrity, Faux news gave theirs away.
FOX news has lost ALL credibility with me and they will NEVER get it back.

I just changed the channel when Karl Rove came on Hannity. I’m sick and tired of that blowhard.

As best I can tell, there is only one journalist working at Fox News and that would be Greta. All the rest are news readers and clueless pontificators. Megan Kelly could develop into a real journalist. She's got good instincts and is plenty smart.
Fox business is way better at news but I hear fox management is getting pissed that Fox Business does a better job of covering the news than Fox news does so I imagine Fox business will soon suck at news too.
What I find disturbing is that none of these "news" organizations does any investigative reporting. Greta trys, I will give her credit for that. But the rest do zip, zero, nadda. All they do is react to what is on the wire. None dig in and get "the rest of the story" which 9 times out of 10 is where the real news is.

This is actually quite a good article and worth reading in its entirety at the link.
The quote by Rush is accurate and the part about the channel going after Newt is accurate.
The writer states that Ailes is now worried the channel has gone too far, and who's going to be left standing? He's so worried, in fact, that he's trying to find another worthy candidate... General Petraus...lol. Too late, idiot.
