Tag Archives: why is Fox not mainstream media

Uncommon sense

J.D., otherwise known as the Mouth of the Brazos (which is a river in Texas for those who don’t Google), has a good question which leads me to an uncomfortable conclusion.

The background: Fox News is, by all accounts, the No. 1 electronic news source, and they cover all of the Democrat scandals all the time. Thus J.D.’s question:

“If they are the most widely watched by the huge measures everyone claims, how are they then not the ‘main stream media?’ And with this many folks knowing what is ‘really’ happening, why the [%#&] isn’t something more effective being done?”

My uncomfortable conclusion: The majority have increasingly little influence in this supposedly free, democratic country.

If we’re missing something here, what is it?
