vicious a beast 翻译

刚看到这样一段文字：

President Obama is hitting the airwaves in a big way this Sunday: he is appearing on almost all of the big Sunday political talk-shows, on ABC, CBS, CNN, NBC and Univision (the biggest Spanish language channel in the States).

Only Fox is left out, presumably because the administration thinks it is too vicious a beast.

请问it is too vicious a beast应该怎么理解?
不用全文翻译，只需要讲讲这个句子即可。

Answer 1

vicious beast是一个较为常用的表达方式，一般用来形容肉食哺乳动物，如狼、狗、狐狸等，表示它们凶残的本性。

这里是个比喻，意思说Fox这家媒体过于不道德，尤其对于媒体来讲就是缺乏职业道德，也就不适合总统在Fox露面。

a vicious beast用too来修饰时，把冠词a放在形容词后面，写成too vicious a beast。
