Newsmax ^ | Sunday, 15 Dec 2013 10:32 PM | Sandy Fitzgerald

The liberal media watchdog group backed by billionaire George Soros says its “war” on Fox News is over, claiming it has neutralized the right-leaning network and no longer sees it as a threat.

“It’s not just that it’s over, but it was very successful,” Media Matters Executive Vice President Angelo Carusone bragged late this week to The Huffington Post.

“To a large extent, we won,” he said. …

Furthermore, Media Antimatters cites as proof of victory that more people get their news from the internet...??!?

Uh, that's not a VICTORY, boyz. That's a LOSS, because your leftist propaganda machine no longer has a choke-out lock on the news.

Only liberals think Fox is conservative. Only gay men think Megyn Kelly is not a hottie. Leftie but hottie

The funniest thing in these threads are the little pigeon-chest-puffed guys running around saying, “I don’t watch Fox anymore.” As if somehow that makes them more Conservative.

I have listened to the Media Matters program on satellite radio. It sounds like a collection of snarky kids that still live in their parent’s basement.

I don’t understand why people say “FOX” when they mean “Fox News Channel”. The FOX broadcast network has always been leftist with show like GLEE.

That’s just the way I see it too. Faux has been neutered as far as being conservative.

Exactly. Pushing sexual deviancy, parading GOPers and calling them “conservative”, devoting precious time to celebrity news, etc.

I quit them a few years back. The only reason I am subjected to any of FAUX News is that the husband DVRs some of the programs. He watches less than he used to, but he has not yet awakened to the fact that they are a bunch of lefties.

Not sure what he means. I just checked the latest ratings for Dec 12:

I know nothing about the size of the viewership, but he won in terms of the extreme leftward drift the network has taken.

And if its viewership has increased, thereby increasing the number of people FOX reaches with the propaganda, that smells like victory to me.

The addicts can’t tell yet, and hence their viewership hasn’t dwindled.

Well, what’s worse is the current FOX leftward slant is propagandizing a larger audience, teaching them to be good little Republicrats.

I don’t know what the “blasé” is.

I tried watching “Red Eye”, but I was not amused, and I did not appreciate the vulgar language. Gutfeld, although he gets in a good one here and there, is annoying, IMO.

This would be akin to the New York Giants saying they “defeated” the Seattle Seahawks yesterday because by games end, the Seahawks stopped scoring.

What they mean is that they can steal elections regardless of what Fox reports.

Fox just appears to be the least liberal of all the networks, that doesn't make it conservative by default.
I find fox to be to squishy and moderate, doesn't matter though, TV news as it is currently is becoming obsolete.

Haven’t watched it in a long time,
but from reports of others,
it sounds like they fell for the intimidation of the left
and stopped countering the 90% of the rest of the media.

They’re still “righter” than that 90%,
but gradually more ineffective in countering leftist propaganda.

It used to be the background noise for me on weekends. Now, I turn on cooking contests and how stuff is made.

Yes, we love to watch all of the TV shows about Alaska and others.

Apparently, they think they’re winning if all of the other networks combined have more viewers than FOX.
