'Cable news is a notch above just being on the Internet'
(AZCENTRAL) — As a white, male, middle-aged conservative talk radio host from Virginia, John Fredericks is something close to the Platonic ideal of a Fox News fan.
And until last year, he was one. But then Fox’s treatment of the Republican primary race — the presentation of Karl Rove as a political analyst despite his having “thrown in for Romney” and Sean Hannity’s clear ties to the Republican establishment — began to grate on him. So he changed the channel.

don't agree with this analysis at all. there have been some changes that i really don't like either, but to go to cnn; now that's a stretch... no thanks
Anyone who can't tell that Faux News is shilling post for the extreme radical Evangelical Social Big Government Conservatives didn't turn their brain of with the TV.

Fox has turned a 180 since Glen Beck left, and for that I quit watching. Their rudder is no longer in the water.
