FOX NEWS: MOST POWERFUL NEWS NETWORK IN THE WORLD

Regardless of the recent attacks on Fox News by WH critics and the Left, the Fox News Network continues to bulldoze through the competition and dominate the ratings. Never before have more people turned to Fox News for their daily dose of political news & opinion. Despite the best efforts of the WH to silence and soften the oft times critical tone at Fox News, the network continues to flourish and stand alone as a behemoth amongst the news industry.

This is not by happenstance, The right leaning network appeals to a broad swath of viewers. Conservatives & Moderates as well as Liberals all tune in.

A Gallup poll released today, backs this up. 40 percent of Americans consider themselves Conservative, 36 percent Moderate and only 20 percent as Liberal. Within this same poll, 45% of Americans feel there is too much regulation of business & industry. 42% of the people polled feel that labor unions should have less influence.

These political attitudes are in direct correlation with a lot of the issues that Fox News covers and reports on , while the other networks simply refuse to do so.

This explains a big part of the reason that many of the Liberal owned newspapers have been going bankrupt and losing subscribers by the day. People have become frustrated and grown weary of the inability of the mainstream media to report the facts. Opting instead in many instances to simply sugarcoat negative news concerning this WH. And why not? The President has traded countless interviews and appearances on these networks in return for favorable coverage. David LettermanDavid Letterman, Jay LenoJay Leno and 60 Minutes have become sort of the home away from home for Mr. Barack ObamaBarack Obama.

The one place this WH has not been able to get their arms around has been Fox News. Despite making the top 5 on the White House's enemy list, Fox News has not altered or softened any of it's coverage of the President or the White House.

In an unprecedented move, and one that went against the grain, the pool of regular news channels, (ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN) that covers the White House, recently backed Fox News and threatened to all walk out if Fox News was excluded from the pool. A message that resonated loud and clear and sent a warning to any future attempts by the WH to try and isolate and demonize any other news outlet.

Perhaps emboldened by the tactics of Hugo ChavezHugo Chavez in Venezuela and Cristina KirchnerCristina Kirchner in Argentina, who have both waged thier own wars on the free press and have shut down countless tv stations, this WH is using similiar tactics to control the message.

Take President Cristina Kirchner of Argentina for example. She blames the recent loss of her Wing of the Peronist Party on bad press coverage. The Clarin media company who was once a staunch supporter of Kirchner, has now become her critic amidsts the cries of the populace who blame a faling economy on her policies. Sound familiar?

Kirchner has unsuccesfully tried to intimidate the news organization by raiding it's headquarters and forcing thru new legislation to create audiovisual boards to regulate content.

In her recent WSJ article, Mary O'Grady reports:

These laws also grants the executive control over all licensing of the radio spectrum and reserves at least two-thirds of it for state-owned and nongovernmental broadcasters approved by the executive. There is concern that Mrs. Kirchner is now preparing to take over the most important domestic supplier of newsprint and to begin using import licensing to control access to foreign supplies.

If this scenario sounds all too familiar, you now know why the WH wants to destroy the most powerful and influential news network in the world.

It is the same reason every other government has done it. They want to silence their critics in times of unrest from the populace. They want to make sure that their abuse of power remains unchecked. They fear the impact that Tea Partiers and Town Hall Protestors have on others when dissent is reported. Much like in the US, the people in Argentina became weary and afraid of the "Enemys List" the president kept and used to gather intelligence information from.

It is happening real time in Argentina and Venezuela. Don't think for a minute that it can't happen here. As long as Fox News remains the most powerful and biggest news channel in the world, you can rest assured that this WH will do it's very best to see to it that they become Fair and Balanced Only to them.
