They had Karl Rove on air fighting with the network for calling Ohio -- even though ever other network had already called Ohio.

Think about that. Rove is not just a partisan. This is the sumbitch who financed the whole damn election. How can Faux even have him on as a "panelist", and how can they allow him to say he knows better than the network's professional staff -- when obviously he did not?

Comedy or satire? Hard to know what that was. It was surreal.

you know, i'd vote, but i'm far more impressed with the election coverage on the forum here. it lets instant news from many different sources — not just one network — appear and update instantly. if i had to give my pick, i might go with fox simply because they were entertaining. when the infighting started with the cameras following, i nearly cried with laughter.

i almost imagine that they are going to get yelled at by their bosses for not "being persuasive enough" to give romney the win. maybe no coffee and donuts in the production staffing room for the next four years or something. they were angry! can you imagine if donald trump was given an audience on national television as opposed to being on twitter during his little fit?

oh, gosh, i'd pay to see that.
