WTF? FOX whores call debate for Kerry; MSNBC for Bush
Is MSNBC worse than FOX now? Tweety and Buchanan went crazy for Cheney and Bush this week for their debate performances and many of FOX's talking heads call it for Edwards and Kerry.

1. My observation about fox is...
... that to not appear biased they give the debates to Kerry but the reasons that they give it is that Bush is not on his A-game. It is always "Bush didn't come across with how great of a plan he has" or "Bush didn't make the point the Kerry IS a flip flopper" It is never because Kerry makes clear, great points, it is always Bush's debate to lose.

4. Well, whatever their justifications, it's still weird that they call Kerry
Although they are fighting for their integrity at this point.

10. This is part of their plan ...

Just listen to Hannity to get the gamplan. They're now deliberately spinning Bush as a man who's good "one-to-one" and telling us we're "shallow" for expecting good public speaking skills from a statesmen.

See we're all simple, shallow people who cannot grasp that Bush is a great mind locked behind an oversized tongue. Poor speaking and communication skills is actually a sign of a great leader. So is good listening skills. A good leader just does stuff and doesn't look back. They also don't bother measuring their own results and any possible outcome only reinforces their original argument!!!

Hannity and Ollie North were in a circle jerk over this the other night. North was also lying his ass off saying that all the troops in Iraq were gung-ho for the war effort.

5. If it wasn't for Buchanan, I don't think that Tweety
would be quite so enthusiastic. Howard has been pissing me off, though. The overall impression I'm getting from MSNBC is "draw," -- or too soon to tell -- they did say they thought that Bush might lose the "spin" war in the next 48 hours.

7. Did you see who was on the MSNBC panel??
The Bush lawyer, two more Republicans, Pat Buchanan.

And Ron Reagan. That's it.

9. Everyone knows Fix is conservative so they have the luxury
of acknowledging that Kerry won the debate. MSNBC is utterly lacking an identity, so they have to go around with their finger in the wind, making prognostications--which are always wrong, if you look at today's Daily Howler--about whatever seems most fortuitous at a given moment.

The truth is, MSNBC hates John Kerry because all of the lies conservatives say about his flip flops are true for them.

11. Faux is trying to stir up the GOP base.
I think its part of their GOTV effort.
