Why is it that almost single handedly, Fox News along with three, or four Conservative talk shows can be such a drag on the administration and cause people to bail (I would print a list, but it is not done yet I don't think)?

Fox cable news is not free, yet it out performs all of the other shows on cable, and free TV, sometimes two, or three times all the others combined.

One thing I can deduce is that more people watch, and listen to Fox and Conservative Talk Radio than is given credit for. And why should I be surprised; the answer to the other side to compete is to shut Fox News and Talk Radio down. Yes, that is their method to compete in the arena of ideas.

I recall hearing Glenn Beck during the campaign of '08, and he once talked about the pendulum effect. He warned people to be careful, not to run to the side of Mr. Obama because of the pendulum effect where the pendulum swings to one side, and if it swings hard one way, it will swing harder the other way eventually. I think what we are witnessing now is a sign of troubles ahead for the Democrats, and Republicans I suppose... eventually, in a cycle.

Hmm, you made a statement and concurred with yourself....

Could you give proof to show why you agreed?
