Why would the government shut down Fox? Basically your question is why would the democrats shut down Fox since the republicans are the main benefitiary of FOX?
Its pretty simple, they wont. Democrats also benefit from FOX
a) Because it helps increase the divide in the Republican party by supporting the Tea party who are a two edged sword for the Republicans
b) Because it helps Democratic support base become more intrenched, since Fox is everything even moderate or swing democrats/voters despise.
I dont see why the democrats should shutdown it. They will not openly support it ofcourse but shutting it down would be a big no-no for them. Fox makes it a lot easier for democrats to win Presidential/Congress races although its a propaganda machine for the republicans, atleast right now. If Fox manages to kill off most of the Chamber of commerce-non tea party-moderate republicans then fox would be worth shutting down for the dems, which is really unlikely.
I do not think that any nation is hopeless to change; however, I think that some nations do require a lot more effort than others to become changed. - Verv
