The GOP long-branded itself as the opposition party. Likewise, Fox branded itself as opposition news. Damn the liberalist elite agenda! Damn the majority in Congress! (later) Damn Obama!
Roles are reversed.
The GOP is now deficit spending like crazy, tossing gobs of money at donor problems that don't fix anything, worrying more about special interests than any real fixes. Likewise, Fox is no longer opposition news, they're propaganda spreaders. Which means CNN is now in that opposition role.
