And I know Fox News isn't new, but in the 2000s if definitely became more powerful and reached more homes. My question is, what does this say for the future? I'm convinced Kerry wins if there were no fox news, just as I'm convinced Obama would have a huge lead right now w/o Fox News. I think it's going to get harder to compete as long as they're an arm of the GOP.
