Is Fox News bad for the GOP?

 One of the bloggers over at DailyKos makes the case “that Fox News is demonstrably harmful to the Republican Party. In fact, it may be the worst thing to happen to Republicans in decades.”

 He says the idiocies peddled by Fox inevitably hurt the GOP brand:

With the Fox network unabashedly promoting the most ridiculous rumors, myths, and nightmares of the rightist fringe, moderate and independent Americans will grow ever more suspicious of the Fox/GOP agenda. Most Americans do not believe that Sonia Sotomayor is a racist; or that FEMA is constructing concentration camps; or that we are on a march toward socialism, communism, fascism, or whatever the right is peddling this week. Most Americans do not believe that Barack Obama is a Muslim, a reptilian alien, or the anti-Christ. In short, most Americans think that the loopy yarns spun by Fox News are fables told by madmen - and believed by even madder men and women who wallow in their doomsday utopia.

Ezra Klein is a bright young man, and I’m inclined to agree with his PREDICTION that health-care reform will be enacted, no matter all the controversy.
