Who needs a government? Let's just let Faux News run the Country !

I'm really starting to wonder if it's all worth it. Working for the party to get our candidates elected. Wouldn't it be more effective if we used that time and money to buy and establish our own "News" network ?
At least we'd get something done !

1. Who says they're not?

they seem to consistently control -- frame -- the debate, which effectively puts them in control of the collective babble, er dialog.

2. They come damn close already

every morning I know what was on Faux the day before just from listening to people's conversations. Nearly every business has their TVs tuned to Faux at the gym I go to the TVs are all tuned to Faux. We have an area where each machine has its own TV set and 90% of the people will be watching Faux or ESPN. You have your people that are brainwashed by Faux then the ones that know nothing outside of sports.

3. They already are

They tell republicans and some Democrats what to think. And apparently now they determine who is on a president's cabinet.

4. Amen.
