Shuster: ‘The Republican Party works for Fox News’ (NOT The Other Way Around)

[kpete]

Shuster told CNN’s Howard Kurtz on Sunday that it only makes sense because “Mitt Romney is the Republican establishment candidate and… Fox News is the Republican establishment.”

“It used to be that Fox News worked for the Republican Party,” the Current TV correspondent observed. “Now the Republican Party works for Fox News.”

“Fox News is convinced that Mitt Romney has a better chance at beating Barack Obama than Rick Santorum or Newt Gingrich,” he added. “So, they decided, ‘Look, Mitt Romney is going to be the guy and we think he’s the one to make it the best competitive election.’ And I think, therefore, the coverage naturally becomes more pro-Mitt Romney.”

1. They played that on CNN?!

So, FOX is so obviously a propaganda channel that even CNN says so out loud? Wow. I have missed a lot in the past couple of years of not watching CNN.

2. Openly Stating The Obvious Ratifies The Sincere Suspicion Held By Many For Years

The agenda is no longer meant to be spoken of in code words and catch phrases.

This open admission by the establishment media is one reason that Rush is no longer needed.

His brainwashing has done the job.

3. Originally named GOP TV

When first pitched to Republican election teams. Since it's all they do or have ever done it is now obvious. Have they ever credited or praised Obama?...Ever?
