"How Fox News Opened America"
We all have to admit that if there wasn't a desire to have an alternative to the obviously biased mainstream media, the Fox News channel could never be successful.
The fact that they have so many viewers certainly is the proof of the pudding...

The New York Post prints Charles Krauthammer's recently made comments about Fox News' imoact on America.:
"In that respect, there should be a special award for Fox News. Fox has done a great service to the American polity -- single-handedly breaking up the intellectual and ideological monopoly that for decades exerted hegemony (to use a favorite lefty cliché) over the broadcast media.
I said some years ago that the genius of Rupert Murdoch and Roger Ailes was to have discovered a niche market in American broadcasting -- half the American people. The reason Fox News has thrived and grown is because it offers a vibrant and honest alternative to those who could not abide yet another day of the news delivered to them beneath layer after layer of often undisguised liberalism.
What Fox did is not just create a venue for alternative opinion. It created an alternate reality."
