24 January 2012 - Fox News

< yesterday -- tomorrow >

reporter: This is off the record, so you don’t have to worry about acting crazy.
Republican: Whew!
reporter: Analysts are saying that Fox News is giving the election to Obama. Republicans have to spout the idiotic Fox party line or go uncovered, and voters can recognize idiocy.
Republican: It’s true.
reporter: Does that make you question your opposition to trust busting? Do you now favor limits on media concentration?
Republican: No, free markets all the way.
reporter: Why is that?
Republican: Fox News has grown powerful enough to make sure that the Republican candidates are good TV, but not enough to control the final election.
reporter: That’s exactly what’s messing you up.
Republican: It’s a work in progress. We just need to wait one or two more election cycles.
