Default How Faux News helped Obama to Victory and destroy the GOP
An open letter to Roger Ailes, President of Faux News, in yesterday's WaPo. Interesting reading for anyone who's interested in Faux News' future in the forthcoming Obama-era mediascape, not to mention how the GOP might be able to climb out of the hole it's dug for itself over the last few years.
During the campaign just completed, you guys focused on Barack Obama's allegedly Muslim and alien roots and socialist ideology; meanwhile, in the real world, unemployment rose, foreclosures soared and Wall Street went flooey. Over the past eight years, you beat drums for such causes as state intervention in the Terri Schiavo case. You demonized undocumented immigrants (okay, CNN's Lou Dobbs gave you a run for your money on that one). You fed the Republican base with a steady diet of bile -- and now that bilious base is the biggest impediment to the Republicans' repositioning themselves so that they can win elections again.

Socialist ideology is exactly what accounts for the rising unemployment, the rampant foreclosures and Wall Street going "flooey." The illegal immigrant problem has had its negative effect as well.

The Republicans lost the election because their candidate, John McCain is a socialist. The Republicans, over the last eight years, and especially over the last four years, completely lost their bearings and set their conservative principles aside. They became supporters of big government and were tossed out for doing so.

The author of that article can be assured that the Republicans ARE "repositioning" themselves, but the new positioning will not be to the author of that article's liking, I'm sure.
