The Fox News Channel (FNC) is the New GOP

Here is an absolutely fantastic, must-read piece from Andrew Sullivan about how the Fox News Channel is the new GOP.
Money quote:
Forget the RNC, Michael Steele or John Boehner. Ignore Romney.The new RNC is FNC. Roger Ailes is creating a new political entity that could redefine the right in America for a generation, and if it gets to power, will make the two terms of George W. Bush look like a golden era. No one in the GOP can stop this. Because Ailes now has their entire base in his hands. What he frames they will believe.

This is terrifying. The confluence of money and power in the media will be a tough act to beat. However, I think grassroots organizers can hand them their asses – as long as said organizers don’t lay down and do as they’re told by their local Dem party leaders.
