Fox does appear to be swallowing the GOP.
Really wish a competing center of power on the Right would develop.
.@kausmickey
Two centers of Power and $$ on the Right are Fox and talk radio. But talk radio is declining.
.@kausmickey
Somewhat surprised FNC hasn’t been able to takeover talk radio the way ESPN has taken over local sports radio.
.@kausmickey
Most US cities (esp. small/med cities) the dominant sports radio is the local ESPN affiliate. Mix of local/national talent.
.@kausmickey I think FNC deliberately chose to avoid the controversy of local talk radio. For the same reason they purged Beck. Advertiser $

It’s interesting what terrible ratings the FoxNews B-Team Pundits get at FoxBiz in prime time. Nobody’s watching.

You can monetize right-wing fame with a softball guest-spot on Fox pimping your book better than a thousand genius blog posts.
