No one has to send this message viral: Fox News is ‘repositioning’ itself 13 months before the 2012 presidential election.
Fox CEO Roger Ailes calls it a “course correction” quietly adopted at Fox over the last year.
Only the timing makes Fox going central a Brutus blow because it’s been a direction that’s been coming for some time.
According to Howard Kurtz, “First, Ailes dialed back the Tea Party talk. Now he’s turning the GOP race into a political X-Factor—and steering the election agenda one more time.” (The Daily Beast, Sept. 25, 2011).
