Let's say, hypothetically, someone was to make a disparaging statement about Fox News and conclude as a news outlet it is way outside of mainstream political thought. Well, then the follow-up appropriate question could be where does that put Fox News' competitors who get just a fraction of the cable news juggernaut's ratings?
Michael Wolff, a contributing editor and columnist Vanity Fair and CNBC regular, told MSNBC's "Hardball" host Chris Matthews on his Oct. 26 program the White House strategy was to marginalize Fox News the same way conservatives once did to liberals, making "liberal" a word with negative connotations. However, he also made the bizarre conclusion that Fox News, which dominates cable news on a regular basis, is "not very popular."

My mother is just as crazy as your mother-in-law.
Mine goes as far left to say that Sean Hannity and Glenn Beck are both pathological liars.
It just makes me shake my head in complete shock and disbelief to hear her say that.
How could Nixon have won? I don’t know anybody who voted for him.
They never stray very far from that, it seems.
Whad I say? Foot messages?
I guess you can’t trust the spell checker every time.
I thought maybe you were talking about some kind of pedophilia?
Well a deaf amputee with no arms has to communicate somehow....

Wolff would be funny if he was not so dangerous. Any disinterested person would acknowledge that Wolff is wrong when he says Fox News is “not very popular.” He is not only wrong but is either being deceptive or is out of touch with reality. I believe it is the latter. The problem is that there are tens of thousands of these people and they are running our country. When someone cannot distinguish between reality and fantasy they are usually described as insane. When the insane are in charge of a great power expect serious problems. The economy is at stake, lives are at stake, in fact our entire civilization is at risk. I nominate Michael Wolf for the prestigious Mohammed Saeed al-Sahhaf Award (also known as the Baghdad Bob Award).
However, he also made the bizarre conclusion that Fox News, which dominates cable news on a regular basis, is “not very popular.”
Wolff is best described as a “drive by” commentator but imagine FOX NEWS not very popular? When they do become “popular” they will not only kick the ass of all their competition but make them “evaporate”? Can’t wait……
The thought gives me “a little feeling” up my leg.
When they're running the country we call them "Democrats".
