Maddow: ‘Fox News Is The Uncontested Gatekeeper’ For All GOP Politicians
Rachel Maddow tonight discussed the fact that all of the likely Republican presidential candidates either previously worked at Fox News Channel or are well aware that they will have to appear there often in order to win the Republican nomination. In other words, Maddow declared that “Fox News is the uncontested gatekeeper for Republican politics and Republican politicians.”
Maddow documented the rise and fall of Ralph Reed and the Christian Coalition, which served as the kingmaker of Republican politicians in 1996. Today the power and influence of the Christian Coalition has been replaced by that of Fox News, according to Maddow, and it seems her thesis is that since Reed fell from grace, so might Fox? Regardless, her opening commentary about Newt Gingrich and how all he seems to be good at is making various ongoing announcements was a simple and effective clean shot.
