'The political agenda of Fox News, to take the most important example, is
hardly obscure. Roger Ailes, the network's chairman, has been advising the
Bush administration. Fox's Brit Hume even claimed credit for the midterm
election. "It was because of our coverage that it happened," he told Don Imus.
"People watch us and take their electoral cues from us. No one should doubt
the influence of Fox News in these matters." (This remark may have been tongue
in cheek, but imagine the reaction if the Democrats had won and Dan Rather,
even jokingly, had later claimed credit.)'
