The Fox Effect [updated]

*
Here's a timely example of The Fox Effect. It's about 30 seconds into a Glenn Beck segment:

"It's no longer dis... un... uh... respectable to be antisemitic on The Left."

Triple play! Some nobody on Fox immediately found a way to connect today's Nazi-inspired terrorism at the Holocaust Museum to the Palestinian people and American liberals while obscuring the fact that the suspect in custody for the shooting is an extreme right-winger with a history and a following. You know, just like Glenn Beck.

Yes, let's call it The Fox Effect. Even Shepard Smith knows it.

Update: as Martha Gellhorn's Ghost implies in the comments, The Fox Effect, like Mephistophiles, is known by many names. And it looks like she came up with a valid alternate coinage.

I have a better name for it

Let's not call it "The Obama Effect." The correct name for it is "The Fox Effect."
