This reminds me of that famous New Yorker cover which shows the Unites States as seen from 9th Avenue in New York. Jones’ perspective on Fox is clearly personal. Still, the lack of perspective in this statement is stunning. Fox News, as successful as it is, only rarely beat the broadcasts news of ABC, NBC, and CBS. It also faces news rivals at CNN, MSNBC, PBS, Al Jazeera, BBC, RT, NPR–all of which are left of center, far-left in several cases. And that’s not to mention the printed news giants such as the NY Times, Washington Post, etc.
But while Jones’ view of the world doesn’t reflect reality, it does provide some insight how he and progressives see the world. In Jones’ view, Fox News is as powerful as the entire government of the United States.
