The Reason Why FOXNEWS "Stars" Fail Any And Everywhere Else Is Simple
They have a unique and ready made audience over at FOXNEWS.
The FOXNEWS audience has been trained like Pavlovian dogs to accept everything that the network spits out.
That's why one day, you can be totally anti-Russia and talking about how Obama is so weak to the Russians and the next day be totally pro-Russia, because the Republican President sent the message that that is what they must do.
The entity known as FOXNEWS is a direct arm of the Republican Party. That's what Roger Ailes envisioned decades ago, even before creating or being a part of the network. He knew what he set out to got it done.
Rightwing talk radio is the audio version of FOXNEWS. That's why you can have Rush Limbaugh playing on two or three different radio stations in the same tiny geographic area. It's not competition, it's the rightwing money organizations, who have bought all the few remaining radio conglomerates and are paying to push out their corporate and rightwing agenda.
FOXNEWS is just the TV version of rightwing talk radio.
All Republicans, all the time.
They pepper in a few token "libruls" to beat on and make fun of, so they can PRETEND to be "Fair & Balanced". Speaking of which, the new leadership has shunned that motto, in an attempt to take the network in a slightly different direction, but it's too late, the damage has been done.
FOXNEWS is the propaganda arm of the Republican Party.
That's also why any two-bit rightwinger with a fledgling show can move to that network and raise to the top, but never, ever, ever the other way around. See Glenn Beck, Tucker Carlson, and now Gret Van Susteran for examples.
That's not talent, that's loyalty. FOXNEWS has trained their audience that every other entity is basically "fake news." Hence even the fledgling rightwing media network can only go so far and no further, because the powers that be set it up that way.
