although this arrangement unquestionably aids Republicans in winning elections and votes in Congress, it is not without its downsides. One is that Fox now exercises such powerful control over the GOP that it has become the party’s kingmaker in presidential primaries.56 Indeed, during the 2012 election cycle, a number of aspirants for the Republican nomination had been paid Fox commentators, including Newt Gingrich, Rick Santorum, Sarah Palin and Mike Huckabee. And woe to the Republican who runs afoul of Fox’s top brass or ignores their advice, as Mitt Romney did on one occasion in 2012. Fox is now so important in GOP primaries that candidates must put aside pressing campaign concerns when summoned to a Fox interview, where any error is magnified within the Republican bubble.
….
Another problem is that Republican voters get so much of their news from Fox, which cheerleads whatever their candidates are doing or saying, that they suffer from wishful thinking and fail to see that they may not be doing as well as they imagine, or that their ideas are not connecting
outside the narrow party base.
Bartlett’s conclusion is that the same attributes that make Fox a strong cable network are harming the Republican Party.
There is little doubt that the Republican Party is influenced by two interests. The corporations and conservative billionaires who fund their campaigns and Fox News. A Republican candidate can be made or broken by Fox News, but the network also pushes Republicans to an unelectable right-wing position in presidential elections.
Viewers have been brainwashed by a combination of misinformation and constant confirmation of their own biases. Fox News doesn’t “report” reality. The result is that millions of Fox News Republicans expect their candidates to carry out what they see on television, which has led to a party of non-reality based voters supporting delusional candidates.
The impact is felt on a broken legislative process where for one party there is no middle and opposing the President at all costs has become a path to political victory.
The conclusion is unmistakable. Fox News has not only broken journalism. The conservative news network is also destroying the Republican Party.

New Study Finds That Fox News Is Brainwashing Viewers And Hurting The Republican Party
Yep, a little objectivity is needed to show the rightwing their error in thinking.

Well if you knew anything about Fox you would know that they are the number one "news" station in the ratings.I don't get it. Why does it matter if I answer your question?Too many. It's frightening how many people could be so dumb.How many people watch Fox News ?

You seem willing to tout an article (a bad one at that) that claims Fox is bad for the GOP.
That means you must have some handle on the reach they have.
Or maybe you don't...and you just post articles like this because you are to lazy to do your own research and thinking.

How many people watch Fox News ?
Former George W. Bush speechwriter David Frum perhaps put the complicated, double
-edged relationship between Fox and the GOP best when he said, “Republicans originally thought that
Fox worked for us and now we're discovering we work for Fox. And this balance here has been
completely reversed. The thing that sustains a strong Fox network is the thing that undermines a
strong Republican party.”
********************
This is from the summary of the article...in other words the section that is supposed to show the conclusion and bring it all together.
Frum, another disaffected Fox person, is simply stating his opinion. That isn't worth crapp.
That's just describing a poorly written article that makes virtually no argument at all.
BTW: I don't watch Fox News.
You do know that those numbers change all the time right? It wouldn't matter what the current numbers are if the network is still at the top of the ratings now would it?Well if you knew anything about Fox you would know that they are the number one "news" station in the ratings.I don't get it.

How many people....pure and simple ?
Ok now you're just making numbers up.So here we have another thread by one of the more prominent board spammers.
Fox gets to...maybe 3 million people who are republican (at most). That is about six percent of the GOP who voted in the last national election.
Billy knows it.....
Bartlett knows it...you won't find this number in his report either.
The whole thing is a sham.
