The U.S. Department of Homeland Security recently labeled anyone opposed to big government a contributor to “right wing extremism.” After reading Geoff Skelley’s column (“Obama Tea Party, 4/16/2009), I do not think it is too far-flung to assume that Skelley would agree. As a conservative and a viewer of the Fox News Channel, I will concede that Mr. Skelley is entitled to his opinion that Fox News caters to an extreme right-wing audience. However, I must firmly take issue with Mr. Skelley regarding his assertion that “the wing-nut appeals of many Fox News contributors are unattractive to the great majority of Americans.” I would point Mr. Skelley to the cable news ratings for tax day, in which the six most-watched cable news shows all aired on the Fox News Channel. That day, Fox had more viewers than the other three cable news channels combined. In fact, Fox has been the most watched cable news channel for the past 87 months. For such an unattractive handful of people, those wing nuts certainly do draw a large crowd.
