Fox News dropped its Tea Party coverage 'like a hot rock' after the Nov. 2010 elections, became 'Karl Rove Central'

3/24/13, "Why Tea Partiers are boycotting Fox News," Daily Beast, David Freedlander (links to Free Republic post of this article)

Fox News dropped Tea Party support and coverage 'like a hot rock' after Nov. 2010 elections and became a GOP establishment fortress dedicated to preventing good conservative candidates from gaining traction. Fox News isn't going to change so boycotts won't help. A commenter says:

"Fox was really doing a decent job in covering the tea parties, border issues, grassroots concerns, etc.,... right up until right after the 2010 midterms. Then something happened. It dropped all that like a hot rock. It became entirely beltway-centric, and nothing much more than a mouthpiece for the GOP-Establishment crowd. Karl Rove Central.” No more tea party acknowledgement. The treatment of Palin turned sour (didn’t air her key speeches while CNN and MSNBC did; spotlighted only the most negative polls, etc). It was all a very, very noticeable change.
I stopped watching at that point. Used to have FoxNews on all the time, like it were the default position on my tv-set. Nowadays, I might catch 30-minutes of it per month, at most.

Rush Limbaugh after Nov. 2010 elections says GOP's first priority is defeating conservatives, not beating democrats:
.
11/4/10, "Ruling Class GOP Declare War on Country Class Conservatives," RushLimbaugh.com

"The ruling class of the Republican Party doesn't want conservatives having any kind of a foothold, any success or any leadership in the party. ...(item half way down page)....So it appears to me they're (GOP) perfectly happy being in the minority if it means not supporting conservatives. (2/3 down page).

Apparently the establishment Republicans will fight harder and more viciously to stop conservatives than to stop Obama and the left. "...(2/3 down page).
