Mainstream Media giant struggles to adapt to changing public sentiment. The Ron Paul Revolution is endearing to millions of liberty-minded individuals that are fed up with the authoritarian/fascist neoconservative movement. News Corp's Fox News will decline in viewership as their cacophony of neocon stooges continue to spout the tiring rhetoric of fearmongering war propaganda.





This decline in Fox News market share would have likely been a slow descent were it not for Fox's decision to exclude Ron Paul from an upcoming New Hampshire forum. Fergus Cullen of the NH GOP said the decision to exclude Ron Paul was Fox's, and the NH GOP wants all candidates included. Fox based their decision to exclude Ron Paul based on poll numbers, even though the polls show Ron Paul leading Fred Thompson who was invited to attend. Fox's decision to exclude is also curious as Ron Paul's 19.5 million in 4th quarter fundraising is unrivaled on the GOP side and in league with Hillary Clinton.





Fox is having a hard time justifying their decision to exclude Ron Paul from the debates, and it is helping many to see through Fox's so-called "Fair and Balanced" smokescreen for what is really a propaganda mouthpiece for the neoconservative movement. Fox is also being exposed for Rupert Murdoch and Roger Ailes support for Hillary Clinton.





Fox's decision to ally itself firmly with the pro-war neocons is a double-edged sword. Its viewership is directly correlated with support for the Iraq war and fear of islamofascism. This was a boon for Fox in the build up to the Iraq war and post-911 environment of fear. However, as more and more Americans become opposed to the war and see it as a mistake, this will hurt viewership and ultimately advertising revenue for the network, since it is unlikely to change course with respect to its programming.
