    Absolutely.

    FOX News is the Rush Limbaugh of cable news networks. FOX thrives not
    because of its thorough or unbiased journalism, but rather because it fills
    a market niche left empty by the generally liberal media. Unfortunately it's
    an over-reaction designed to grab market share.

    FOX is a purely commercial phenomenon. The laws of economics suggest that
    even-keeled cable news networks will emerge and take share from FOX.
