Administration Contempt for Us, the Truth

The Baltimore Sun writes about the dominance of Fox News on election night earlier in the month. You will remember Fox kicked the backside of every other outlet (i.e., ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, MSNBC), not once but repeatedly and with vigor. A possible cause they describe:
Fox was a far better watchdog on the Obama White House than any other TV news organization. It took the heat and the blowback from an administration that showed an enmity for the press not seen on Pennsylvania Avenue since the dark days of Richard Nixon, but it stayed the course. And now with viewers seeing the contempt this administration had for them and the truth, they respect what Fox did the last six years.
Or maybe the liberals who normally watch the other outlets knew their side was going to lose and didn't choose to watch the unfolding debacle.
