Reply #169: If FOX goes down, then Centrist Democrats have one less party to blame for their failures. [View All]

Centrist DEMs count on FOX news.

Whenever they are "forced" or "fooled" into caving to the GOP, they can always say:

"We had to do it or Fox would have attacked us."

or

"Us DEMS had to say there were WMDs, b/c Fox had everyone believing they exist. We must pretend to agree or we will not get re-elected."

"We had to take that position b/c everyone believes FOX's framing- we cant fight them on this."

"We had to fire Shirley Sherrod, b/c FOX news has everyone thinking she is racist, even tough we know she is not."

etc, etc.

Obama will not go after FOX b/c he needs them to be his bad cop.

If anything, he will give FOX a front row at his pressers, just like he did the day after FOX was busted showing edited and faked video tapes of Obama admin member Shirley Sherrod, at a NAACP function, falsely making her out to be a "reverse racist."

As a result, Obama fired Shirley Sherrod, then REWARDED FOX the very next day -not with threats of an investigation-but with a front row seat at his press conference!

If FOX is not around, it's one less excuse centrists have for being "forced" or "fooled" into adopting conservative positons.
