The article comments on Fox News Channel. Fox is obviously filling a niche. Since it started in 1996, ratings have soared, climbing more than 200 percent in the last quarter of 2000 from the same period the year before. During the fourth quarter of 2000 it started turning a profit, a year ahead of schedule. And in December, its ratings beat CNN in prime time, even though CNN reaches about 22 million more homes. Fox started in 1996, when anti-Clinton sentiment burned bright. The U.S. President George W. Bush Administration offers ample targets for left-wing fire.
