Whither FOX NEWS?
Okay FNC has an agenda to promote, but they also have to pay the bills, which means delivering an audience for advertisers. Are they going to become the "Loyal Opposition" to President Obama, or keep playing up to the "angry" 27%?

1. Well, if Glenn Beck interviewing Sarah Palin is any indication -
they will keep playing the angry 27%. At least for now.

2. That 27% is optimistic
More like between 13% and 22%

3. Murdoch isn't stupid
He knows how to read the public mood. I don't see them abandoning their conservative ways but Murdoch has softened his hard conservative stance in recent years. His latest wife (decades younger than he is) is a liberal and has had a lot to do with his re-thinking. Remember Hillary has made friends with him. It should be very illuminating to say the least at any changes Fox News makes in the next four years. I don't see him alienating that core audience but I think he might be reading the tea leaves to see how he can suck out a few bucks from us libs.

4. I was in my car a few minutes ago and flipping channels.
I heard Hannity say he was afraid the economy would improve on it's own and Obama will get credit for it. You know that will me the right wing mantra. :dem:

5. I turned to Hannity briefly tonight
And he was his typically peevish, obnoxious self. Greg Craig has helped terrorists! Just like Eric Holder! The inauguration is costing 18 brazillion dollars! Obama is going to cost us too much money! And it's all going to poor people!

You know the schtick

And, for the record, the 3 minutes I caught of O'Reilly was the same. He had two conservative women on, who proceeded to offer several different reasons that President Elect Obama is so vacuous. Fair and balanced.
