"Wannabe king maker Roger Ailes is facing an open revolt.
More and more despondent conservatives are expressing alarm over the unfolding Republican primary season and what they see as the party's dwindling chances of defeating President Obama in November.
Spooked at the general elections prospects facing front-runners Mitt Romney and Newt Gingrich (especially Gingrich), members of the so-called Republican establishment seem to want to reboot the election season and try their nominating luck again.
Sorry, it's too late.
If the current state of concern transforms into a larger, enveloping blame game, Fox News chairman Ailes ought be a looming target.
True, conservatives in recent years have shown virtually no interest in critiquing, let alone trying to reign in Ailes' empire.
Still, it's becoming increasingly clear that Fox's programing and the radical, fear-based agenda it's setting for Republicans is now doing lasting damage to the Grand Old Party.
That's because Fox News isn't simply offering a rightward take on the day's events, or innocently providing Republican-friendly commentary, of course.
It's leading an exhausting day-in, day-out attack campaign against Obama, Democrats, and all their liberal allies.(Real or imagined)
It's relentless, paranoid crusade falls well outside the mainstream of American politics, which is why the Republican primary season,
so proudly sponsored by Fox News, is shaping up to be such an embarrassment.
Make no mistake, king-maker Ailes has made sure his channel's profoundly un-serious stamp permeates this year's GOP contest.
For more and more spooked Republicans though, it's a stamp of failure and looming defeat."
