Levin: Republicans are using Fox News to ‘defeat’ conservatives

Once upon a time...there existed an alternative news network that appealed to principle, as well as a fair and balanced approach. Now, it just appeals to another political party...a misguided one at that...
Mediaite: Levin said that he doesn’t really see Fox as “conservative media” anymore but rather as “Republican media.”

The host began by remarking on just how much one can find Karl Rove on Fox’s air, saying he’s “like a bad rash, the guy never goes away.” Later, he gave his listeners a lesson about “entrenched Republicans who actually like big government, they just want to run it.”

He referred to “conservatives” as the “outsiders” who push the party in the right direction. Levin said that now, the Republican Party is actually using Fox News to try to “defeat” conservatives, “and it’s really quite remarkable.”

“I don’t see a big conservative media other than a handful of us on talk radio,” Levin said, “and a handful of columnists and a handful of websites on the internet.”

“I see a Republican media,” he said, referring to bigger establishment sources like Fox News that are “preaching accommodation, and surrender and moderation as conservatism.”
As much as I despise what the Democratic statists are doing to this magnificent country, the neo-statists are perhaps more revolting in their nonstop effort to go along by constantly attacking and silencing the very conservatives that make up their core base (or at least, once upon a time, not so long ago did). And if Mark and a handful of others don't call out the avenues that seem to promote the wrong side of this internecine fight, then who will?
