4. The administration has been shutting them out.
They have basically left them alone. Fox just keeps getting more outrageous.

If their memes didn't slip so easily into the MSM where a lot of people get their news, then I would say leave them be. However as I said, the MSM have become enablers and give credence to what they say.

It goes from being just RW crazy talk to being considered somewhat plausible. The MSM doesn't pay much attention to people who point out their foolishness. The only people who get their attention seems to be the WH.

I would continue this for a while longer, and allow Anita Dunn to be the point. It will establish that the WH won't stand down for every rumor that comes down the pike. I wouldn't engage them on every point because that would require 24/7 work. I would concentrate on the most outlandish and largest points.

I don't think it will take that long to keep that bright line around Fox that will make people remember they are very partisan. It will stick in minds very soon.
