It is a great business model. It follows through on their target audience. After Family Guy, The Simpsons, King of the Hill, and American Idol, viewers can tune in to Sean Hannity, where only real Americans go. If they are not yet convinced that the radicals have taken over, they can go on over to Bill O'Reilly and get No Spin. Their female anchors are hot for the most part, if you like em blonde and all that goes with that. Their adverstisers have to love them, and that is what it is all about with television. Go Fox News!!
"How can anyone who loves our country support the Republicans now? Barry Goldwater, William F. Buckley and Ronald Reagan defined the modern conservatism that used to be what the Republican Party I belonged to was about. Today no actual conservative can be a Republican. Reagan would despise today's wholly negative Republican Party. And can you picture the gentlemanly and always polite Ronald Reagan, endorsing a radio hate-jock slob who crudely mocked a man with Parkinson's and who now says he wants an American president to fail?!" And this is what Fox News fails to understand. Hence their continued support of Rush Limbaugh.
Well, those Jews seem to know what their audience wants. They have great country music bumps on Hannity
I disagree, they very well know what they are doing. Just as the RNC knew what it got when it went after Sarah Palin.
Conservatism is out of vogue for awhile. Thinking cycles between "govt is the answer" and "capitalism is the answer". The thing is that when you go towards govt sometimes the result is horrific.
Conservatism is reduced to the party of angry white males, rednecks, and the general white lower classes. However, there so many of them and they are so credulous that cannot blame Fox for catering to this group. The most widely read newspaper in America is the National Enquirer you know.
Conservatism is reduced the to tax payers who support the 45% of the non-conservatives non-tax payers. It is the Conservatives that are the tax base for Obama. We are backing his socialist take over. Your welcome!
Conservatism is a fake concept. It is also intellectually bankrupt. You cannot have small government and a big oversized military. What does a somebody in a million dollar home and country club membership have in common with a NASCAR watching, pick up driving, moonshine drinking, confederate belt wearing redneck somewhere in alabama? The answer is nothing. So the republican party serves its primary constituency of rich white men by supporting tax cuts(especially estate taxes) and "throws a bone" to red necks by promoting rabid nationalism, keeping women and minorities down, and supporting the 2nd amendment.
Fox is far more "conservative" than CNN is "liberal." CNN actually makes an attempt at balance. The Fox swiftboat always tips over on one side.
