Megyn Kelly and Bill O have decided they don't want to be George Wallaces of 2013, good on them.
Either that or Roger Ailes has woken up and smelled the coffee.

When conservatives help push gay marraige to the forefront of topicality, it's usually to get the media off the scent of something else.
What's going on?

they didn't push it to the front, it's at the SCOTUS, they had no choice but to discuss.

"And as a conservative, I will tell you DOMA reeks of big government," Deaton said. "It treads on individual rights, it treads on the rights of families and for my state of New Hampshire and eight other great states, it disrespects our states, and it tells us our legal marriages are less than fully equal."

Faux, except for ranters like Hannity and, perhaps, Faux and Fiends, is at war with the tea baggers. After promoting the baggers in 2010, Roger Ailes, shortly after the election, realized the threat to the Republican Party and began the process of delegitimization of them. No more Hannity tours, fewer baggers on screen. Ailes' efforts are working ever so slowly.

In the months and weeks before the election, the Fox News site whipped itself up into an almost unbelievable frenzy over the spector of Obama's reelection. No criticism was too insignificant, no dire prediction was too outlandish, and no conspiracy theory was too ridiculous to go unreported, often in banner headlines.
But soon after the election, the site became remarkably less sensationalistic. Why? Either the entire organization suddenly saw the errors of its' ways and vowed to live up to the highest standards of American journalism, or they simply decided to keep doing what they've always done in the past: follow the money.

It's more than the money. Roger Ailes, who started it (along with the Rush Limbaugh show) was a Nixon operative in the old days.
