Former New York Times columnist Frank Rich wrote a long attack piece on Fox News for New York magazine theorizing that the Left pays too much attention to “waning” Fox News and gives them too much cachet by opposing them fiercely. It's called "Stop Beating a Dead Fox."
Fox never succeeds on its own. Liberals have the power to make it succeed:
In truth, Fox News has been defeated on the media battlefield—and on the political battlefield as well. Even the 73-year-old wizard of Fox, Roger Ailes, now in full Lear-raging-on-the-heath mode as -portrayed in my colleague Gabriel -Sherman’s definitive new biography, The Loudest Voice in the Room, seems to sense the waning of his power. The only people who seem not to know or accept Fox’s decline, besides its own audience, are -liberals, including Barack Obama, whose White House mounted a short-lived, pointless freeze-out of Fox News in 2009, and who convinced himself that the network has shaved five points off his approval rating.

Frank Rich is an idiot and a liar, like 99.99 percent of all libtards.
Frank Rich has spent his entire pathetic life as a left wing propagandist. He is an enemy of the American people.
I beg to differ, it's better than the alphabet channels, but being discerning is also important, that's why we FReep.
The Horse Manure is getting deep.
Spoke w a New Yorker last week She said when she says she watches Fox News people screech at her. What are you insane!?
She told me she says, ‘how else am I going to know anything? She said no one knows ANYTHING about Benghazi. NONE of the News outlets say d about it.
There, I fixed your typo...
WOW could have fooled me..if being “Dead” means having the highest rated Cable News station out of everyone in existence today then that is pretty damn awesome..Liberalism, not just a mental illness, but a true defect
and this is why you shouldn’t ever believe anything a liberal says. ever.
She said she has a big heart for the diplomats, said she had to spend a ton if time in the embassy when she went to get her daughter in a foreign adoption
I want people even ted Cruz to start referring to them as, as in Argo, our diplomats
They, I am sorry, are in an exalted position They were embassy people
The ME people know it, and are treating the situation as such. We left our embassy people to die in country.
It’s just not the same as Americans. Like tourists
Well fox covers the important stuff. Well have to take it as it is for now
Fox never succeeds on its own. Liberals have the power to make it succeed:
So arrogant.
I think Karl in Ohio was just making a Yogi Berra joke.
If Rich wants to discourage people from attacking Fox, fine. But the attackers are still at it. When I was in Oregon there were little bookmark-type takeaways at a cash register preaching about how evil Fox was. The demonization continues apace. Real down-and-outers spouting in Starbux after the SOTU about how wicked the Tea Party was. No substantial criticism, of course—just angry shakes of the head and muttering.
I watch it with the rest of the nobodys
Frank Rich’s head explodes no matter what subject he bothers to talk about.
Only libs think Fox News is far right.
