Super Tuesday represented another strong TV news day for the cable news networks — but one of the broadcast networks could also claim some honors.
Some viewers, including conservative activists, are upset over a strategy that has been under way at the news network for some time — a “course correction,” as Fox chief Roger Ailes put it last fall — with the network distancing itself from the tea party cheerleading that characterized the first two years of President Obama’s presidency. Lately, Fox has increasingly promoted its straight-news talent in the press and conducted some of the toughest interviews and debates of the Republican primary season. Just last week, it hired the openly gay liberal activist Sally Kohn as a contributor.
Fox News Channel continued its dominance, with an average viewership that exceeded CNN and MSNBC combined in primetime and for the entire day. Fox typically had 1.87 million viewers in primetime this year. The top 13 programs in cable news all aired on Fox.
Friday marked the 15th anniversary of the Fox News Channel, and after 10 years as the most watched network in cable news, what’s left? Having beat the original cable news channel, CNN, at its bread and butter of breaking news, Roger Ailes and his boys are going after Diane Sawyer, Brian Williams and Scott Pelley. “To be honest, we’re looking up to try to get to CBS or one of the networks at 6:30 during my timeslot,” Bret Baier, host of Fox’s Special Report, says.

The scandal rocking Rupert Murdoch’s media empire — as well as the highest circles of British politics and law enforcement — has been a major story in the U.S. news media for two weeks. But how has Murdoch’s cable news channel here covered the story?
For seven years Fox News has pushed back against the daily scrutiny and criticism leveled at it by Media Matters, the liberal watchdog group. But after David Brock, the group’s founder, said in March that his group’s new strategy amounted to a “war on Fox,” Fox ratcheted up its response. In the past 10 days, the news channel has run more than 30 segments calling for the nonprofit group to be stripped of its tax-exempt status.
Alarming messages reporting the assassination of President Obama remained online for 10 hours, prompting Secret Service concern.
Republican media strategist Roger Ailes launched Fox News Channel in 1996, ostensibly as a “fair and balanced” counterpoint to what he regarded as the liberal establishment media. But according to a remarkable document buried deep within the Richard Nixon Presidential Library, the intellectual forerunner for Fox News was a nakedly partisan 1970 plot by Ailes and other Nixon aides to circumvent the “prejudices of network news” and deliver “pro-administration” stories to heartland television viewers.

How Ailes Built The Fox News Fear Factory
During his days as an overt political consultant, Roger Ailes reshaped Republican politics for the era of network television. Now, as chairman of Fox News, he has reshaped a television network as a force for Republican politics.
The circus Roger Ailes created at Fox News made his network $900 million last year. But it may have lost him something more important: the next election.
The National Association of Broadcasters and Fox News Channel are among those arguing that TV news should be exempt from video description rules the FCC is looking to establish, according to FCC filings.
