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.
