This was an interesting read and is not a slam on Fox's overtly biased skew to right. Instead, discusses how they draw the base audience and not only shield the Republican party from the broader dialogue but how its agenda driven programming minimizes their influence in the news cycle.

QUOTE
But in retrospect, some of what Fox was publishing was actually – in journalistic terms – solid material. Setting aside the crazy conspiracy theories, it was clear that concerns had been raised about security at the embassy compound. There were legitimate questions to be asked about the nature of the military response once the attack was under way. But these weren’t being asked – to any significant degree – by other media outlets. And they weren’t being asked – in part – because the story was being driven by Fox.

I really don't care if any of this is embraced or ridiculed. It sure seems the Republican party is the emperor Fox news is their tailor.

Just think how rosey the picture would be by listening to MSNBC, CBS, NBC, ABC. They would be telling us we were walking on streets of gold, and had more money than what we needed! At least FOX tells us the truth, were going to the bottom  under BIMBO? Our money will be worthless like the German money was in 1939. :thumbsup:

Heavily Armed Karl Rove Spotted At Top Of Electoral College Clock Tower

WASHINGTON—Sources confirmed this afternoon that a heavily armed Karl Rove has positioned himself atop the Electoral College clock tower and is planning to pick off at least 50 electors with a high-precision sniper rifle.

Wearing a black tactical ammunition vest with multiple submachine-gun magazine pouches, a holster containing an extra semiautomatic handgun, and several M67 grenades clipped to the chest, Rove reportedly walked up 27 floors to the top of the clock tower, which overlooks the Electoral College’s main quad area and offers the Republican strategist a perfect vantage point to assassinate electors as they exit the Swing State Dining Hall and the Twelfth Amendment Science Building.

Law enforcement officials said Rove appears to be primarily targeting Electoral College attendees from Ohio and Florida.

“Mr. Rove is armed, extremely dangerous, and, we believe, mentally ill,” said lead FBI agent Peter Coburn, adding that his team is working with Electoral College Campus Security to move the institution’s 538 enrolled electors out of harm’s way. “Several witnesses who saw Mr. Rove begin his ascent to the top of the clock tower said he looked stone-faced and was muttering something about making good on his promises to Republican super PAC donors everywhere and to Jesus Christ almighty.”

“We are currently unable to get inside the clock tower because Mr. Rove has destroyed several flights of stairs with plastic explosives,” Coburn added. “Either way, we are urging all Electoral College attendees to stay inside the Red and Blue Dormitory until further notice.”

According to FBI representatives, evidence of Rove’s assassination plot was discovered inside the Fox pundit’s off-campus studio apartment. Amidst old newspapers, weeks-old pizza boxes, and rats, agents said they found an Electoral College yearbook in which multiple faces had been crossed out with red X’s.
In addition, officials discovered several composition notebooks filled with Rove’s psychotic musings, including his 2004 plans to seize control of the entire country, and a passage in which he graphically describes how he wants to slit Electoral College president Nate Silver’s throat and then bathe in his blood while staring at his naked body in the bathroom mirror.

One notebook, sources confirmed, was just page after page of the words “Hamilton County” written over and over again.

“You don’t call a state with 991 votes between the candidates,” Rove wrote. “You don’t do that. You never do that. And if you do, I’m not the one who’s crazy. You’re the one who’s crazy. You are the one who must be stopped. You are part of the liberal conspiracy trying to take hold of this nation. And I will be the one to murder you and the children you wanted to abort. I will be the one who stops the madness. I will rain bullets and hellfire on your heads. Say goodbye.”

As the standoff continued, FBI agents said they were having difficulty getting through to Rove—a 2000 Electoral College graduate and basketball standout—and told reporters that special reinforcements needed to be brought in.

“Karl, come down from there,” said former president George W. Bush, shouting into a bullhorn. “I love you. And I know you love me. I would be devastated if I lost you, so don’t do something stupid. We just have to come to terms with the fact that the Republican Party needs to change dramatically in order to win these general elections. We have to be more inclusive. We can’t tell women how to live their lives, and we have to be more gay-friendly ”

At press time, Rove detonated one of his grenades, destroying the clock tower and sending his dismembered body parts cascading to the ground.
...just kidding, Onion!

What’s killing the Republicans is their disassociation with the electorate, their catering to a small group of unelected propagandists Rush, Beck, Hannity to name a few. their outlandish tripe borders hate speech.
Why is Grover Norquist the emperor of the GOP who elected him, starve the beast is his brainchild !
Government intervention from the bedroom to the death bed to their phony religious values, attacking workers and unions and undying love of war and the military industrial complex.
The Republican Party what a paradox, I could really get onboard with the conservatives if they could dump that nut job platform.

I seriously don't care if any of you wing-nuts agree with the author or not. Play your violin while Rome burns. :violin:

If everything the "biased liberal" media reported and their "biased liberal polls" were so far removed from reality as FoxEntertainmentNews fed you then we would have a new President.

Wait...by chance did Fox report the unbiased fair and balanced election results of a Romney win by landslide?

In addition to the liberal media and there socialist agenda, there is clearly a problem with the overly biased liberal electorate with an agenda of their own. I give props to the network for covering the eyes of  their sheep from the wolves feeding on their flock.

Maybe if they can find even more hard-core religious conservative zealots to run for the 2014 round we'll see progress in politics with a single party majority in the House and Senate too.

:clap:

That has to be one of the most accurate assessments of the Republican Party that I've seen in a good long while. They've long since abandoned the philosophy of personal responsibility, in favor of all-out greed.

Karl Roves sister?
Arizona woman runs down husband with car for not voting

PHOENIX (Reuters) - An Arizona woman, in despair at the re-election of Democratic President Barack Obama, ran down her husband with the family car in suburban Phoenix on Saturday because he failed to vote in the election, police said on Monday.

Holly Solomon, 28, was arrested after running over husband Daniel Solomon following a wild chase that left him pinned underneath the vehicle.

Daniel Solomon, 36, was in critical condition at a local hospital, but is expected to survive, Gilbert police spokesman Sergeant Jesse Sanger said.

Police said Daniel Solomon told them his wife became angry over his "lack of voter participation" in last Tuesday's presidential election and believed her family would face hardship as a result of Obama winning another term.
