quote

...some conservatives asking whether (fox) news channel has become extreme , whether, angering , agitating base, may making harder, rather easier, republicans win elections.

david frum, prominent conservative pundit , former speechwriter george w. bush, led charge last month when lambasted republicans’ handling of health-care reform. in piece health-care vote titled “waterloo,” frum wrote, "we followed radical voices in party , movement, , led abject , irreversible defeat. there leaders knew better, have liked deal. trapped. conservative talkers on fox , talk radio had whipped republican voting base such frenzy deal-making rendered impossible…by mobilizing them hysterical accusations , pseudo-information, overheated talk has made impossible representatives represent , elected leaders lead." on nightline, frum noted, "republicans thought fox worked us, , we're discovering work fox…the thing sustains strong fox network thing undermines strong republican party."

the full newsweek article worth read. 1 thing quibble contention of people bruce bartlett okay network wear politics on sleeve. maybe...but not degree fox does, , not while pretending "news" channel , calling fair , balanced.

yet it's interesting point: tail wagging dog. hadn't thought of way, more think it, more makes sense. fox reaches millions of minds every night. (nauseating thought, know.) john boehner doesn't. it's possible fox, limbaugh , rest of right wing media have more influence on setting conservative agenda republican party now.

 

the republicans reaping have sowed. divisive politics come bite in ass.
