A Fox in the Clown Car? 0

Der Spiegel wonders whether Fox News is willing to sacrifice Republican aspirants to the ratings wars. The publication observes that, as soon as someone grabs the front runner flag, Fox tries to capture the flag. A snippet:

Fox News needs sensationalism to maintain its ratings, which is why the Republican candidates cannot expect preferential treatment this year. Because hatred of Obama and the left has become old news, Fox has turned its focus to transforming the Republican primaries into a circus — fueled by Ailes, the Republicans’ shadow leader, who at times wields his power like a dictator.

It’s an interesting read. Follow the link for the rest.

Finally, this is website is a hobby. It's a hobby in which I am deeply invested, about which I care deeply, and which has enabled me to learn a lot about computers and computing, but it is still ultimately an avocation, not a vocation; it is certainly not a money-making enterprise (unless you click the "Donate" button--go ahead, you can be the first!).
