Did anyone check out Fox's coverage of Ashley Todd tonight?
I was just wondering how they covered it. My guess is "very briefly, very quickly" but it would be nice if I'm wrong...

2. Watched oreilly to see the mock debate he was doing with Dr. Lamont Hill
O'reilly was skeptical last night about the woman's veracity and tonight he called her a pinhead.

PS - the Mock Debate was very good. Love Dr. Hill.

4. I tuned in specifically to see if they would cover it...they did a pretty good job.
It was between six and seven PM.

9. Sorry, I don't know their newscasters, but he basically just reported
the facts with no flare.

7. Really? What did they say?
Any reference to the "end of McCain's campaign" as promised on their blog?

8. Do you think they know their campaign is over?
I bet they do. And this is a Hail Mary pass. If it floats with all lies and just the finger pointing, it still wouldn't turn anything. But that's what a Hail Mary pass is anyways.

11. They've been running on empty for a while now.
The campaign is over but they have to trug on. I'm waiting for RNC to dump McCain like they dumped other members of the RNC like Bachmann.

10. I didn't see it. But I figure I understand Fox by now.
When it comes to this kind of coverage they definitely do a good job. This is in general. They were also the ones to say, before a lot of other people, that Obama won his three debates handily and for each debate. So don't put things past FauxNews.

The thing is that Fox has three issues. Hannity, who's the worst of the lot and he's really the main problem. Then you have Greta van something..she's another joker that started off well when she was on CNN I believe, but then became a complete mess when on Fox----now she's just a liar. Then you have O'reilly. To tell you the truth, I won't deny that Oreilly has some misguided race issues, of the three he's the most intelligent.

I get the feeling he does what he does for ratings. He's definitely a devoted sensationalist than truth theorist, even though he knows what the truth is. The rest have meme's they follow and say some outrageous things at times, but overall they cover hot topic news fairly well.

Every fuckin one spent less then 60 seconds on the story and moved on fast. WE ALL KNOW if the story turned out true fox would have been on this 24/7 (rev Jeremiah wright) type coverage right up to election day.

Damn I hate Fox news
