If the pendulum swing back to the left and the Dems control both
Houses and win the Presidency, will Faux News go out of business?

3. Never happen
In fact their market share may go up.

4. Unfortunately, I think not
If anything, it will invigorate them. They'll have a nice bowl full of "fresh meat" to get thmselves worked up over. If you think they're vicious now, what until (one can only hope) the good guys take over.

7. It would mean Democrats bringing decent bills to the floor for a
vote. FUX news would have a Field day lying about the content of the bills. Fox news would get rich, but WE WOULD HAVE THE POWER!

5. No but Rupert Murdock should go to Gitmo ...
along with the rest of the Bush cabal and the media whores that have been lying for them. Treason and murder are serious crimes and we should prosecute the whole bunch, perpetrators, conspirators and abettors.

8. No it would be popular with the righties
but it would be discredited by a larger portion of the population. Some casual watchers would wake up and permanently turn off. But they will still have a niche market.

9. if the MSM pulls its head out and starts reporting real news
then Fox will be left out in right field looking shrill, stupid, and underinformed (which they already are), but the feeding frenzy will be the MSM mocking their competitor.

I think it would definitely lead to some changes at Fox, without a doubt.

10. Their Ratings Will Spike
The White House echo chamber will be out of business so they'll need a place like Fox to continue feeding the shit storm. One the Democrats allow PBS to return to journalistic independence, the righties will have nowhere else to turn.
