We've been making the point for quite some time that Fox News is little more than a propaganda machine for Republican and conservative causes, and that it played a key role in helping Republicans do well in the midterm elections. So we're pleased to see one right-winger that agrees with us.

You may remember Larry Klayman as the former head of Judicial Watch, which made its name by filing numerous lawsuits against the Clinton administration, fueled by millions in donations from conservative moneybags Richard Mellon Scaife. Klayman has a new organization called Freedom Watch USA (not to be confused with the Fox Business show of the same name hosted by Andrew Napolitano) and a column at the right-wing WorldNetDaily.

Klayman used his November 5 WND column to thank Fox News for helping Republicans take the House, as well as taking credit for nudging the channel in a right-wing direction:

Lets give credit where credit is due! Without the strong advocacy of Fox News (and of course WorldNetDaily.com), orchestrated by its chief, Roger Ailes -- the former Republican ad man that helped elect President Ronald Reagan -- we would not now have a strong tea party, and we would not have removed Nancy Pelosi and her fellow socialists from control of the U.S. House of Representatives.

While Fox News' evening programming has been criticized by jealous leftist cable competitors as primarily right-wing propaganda and not “news,” the nightly lineup was never meant to be “fair and balanced.” And, more importantly, who cares! It is the lone strong voice on television that takes on the rest of the ultra-libs on MSNBC and CNN. And, the fact President Obama, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, Keith Obermann, Chris Matthews, Rachel Maddow and the rest of the ultra-left hate Fox News only speaks more highly of it. In Washington, D.C., and elsewhere, you define yourself by your enemies. If I had not been so hated and feared by the Clintons and other corrupt politicians, judges, lawyers and political consultants like James Carville and Karl Rove, for instance, I would not have been doing my job. In fact, I would have been disappointed in myself!

Indeed, people like me, Matt Drudge, Ann Coulter and Joseph Farah helped Roger and his minions build the market for Fox News during the Clinton years with our newsworthy lawsuits, cutting-edge reports, books and related television appearances on the network. So we can take a little credit for its early success. And today, after many years of building on the springboard we provided, Fox News' viewership outstrips all of the other cable networks combined, and its revenues are huge and expanding -- even during the ongoing and seemingly never-ending economic “depression.”

Klayman goes on to encourage Fox to keep up the activism: “I call upon Glenn Beck and Fox News to keep the pressure on, to not go soft, but instead treat the establishment Republicans for what they are: as much of the problem as the leftist Democrats.”

Thanks, Larry, for making our point for us.
