Stop Beating a Dead Fox
The conservative news channel’s only real power is in riling up liberals, who by this point should know better.

The most interesting news about Fox News is that for some years now it has been damaging the right far more than the left. As a pair of political analysts wrote at Reuters last year, “When the mainstream media reigned supreme, between 1952 and 1988, Republicans won seven out of the ten presidential elections,” but since 1992, when “conservative media began to flourish” (first with Rush Limbaugh’s ascendancy, then with Fox), Democrats have won the popular vote five out of six times. You’d think they’d be well advised to leave Fox News to its own devices so that it can continue to shoot its own party in the foot.

Start thinking outside the "Fox." The more you do, the greater you'll perceive how ineffective, indeed impotent, that programming is becoming. It's a distraction, certainly, and it can in limited scenarios create extraordinary chaos, but it's a dying power and unless rejuvenated with a far more vital dynamic (a possibility akin to the Republican Party re-envisioning itself), it will continue to fade away.
