Could the anchors on Fox News be any less enthusiastic?

Is Brit Hume going to shoot himself on the air? Jesus it's like someone kicked their collective dog.

Theyre a conservative station reporting a liberal win? So what? Is this school yard gloating? :confused:

Congrats Obama on a well run campaign :) Good luck!

I've actually been watching Fox News for a good part of the night to get the "right"
side's view. Heh looks pretty somber... I can't wait to see the crazy Hannity, O'Reilly,
etc tommorow... This is reality entertainment right there y'all.

I hope there is some way Murdock, Rush, Hannity etc and cabal are forced off air.

It's the venomous nature of FoxNews during this election cycle and pretty much in general which makes it somewhat humorous. Yeah... a bit school yard like but c'mon...there's liberal news stations that are heavily biased to the left but FoxNews is pretty BLATENT in their views and only the most blind partisans can't see that. And the nonsense of calling themselves fair and balanced...good grief...

As long as they force CNN and the network anchors off too. Deal?

Shepard seemed pretty emotional (in a positive way) about it, don't know what you all saw (Note, not a Fox news viewer but the local station was simulcasting it).

The funny part is that you all are tuning into them and earning ad revenue ;) That's all the business is about anyways.

Tell you what Dave: If you throw Olbernut in there, it's a deal.

One can only hope now that the Obamassiah is elected, that Olberwacko is not needed any longer...just the mere flash of The Idiocy that is his program as I fly by it channel surfing is cause for mental anguish...

Wait, I can delete channels with U-Verse...nevermind Dave, no deal, I just fixed the problem here myself... :)

Fox news simply balances out our bipolar media. with the combined liberal forces of BBC, CNN, and MSNBC, I'd say it's fair and balanced.

I would agree...however the methods and tactics used
by FoxNews just seem a bit dirtier than the "other" guys as well as very tabloid journalism
like. I remember watching O'Reilly on Inside Edition as a youth... guess he sticks to the
"entertainment" type journalism and is making quite a fortune. You don't see the lefty
stations with angry white men frothing at the mouth on such a regular basis like you see
on FoxNews. The right deserves a voice for sure but FoxNews just seems a bit low class in their overall delivery.

edit: my agreement is that each side needs their outlet to balance out the voices.

So what's it like to live in your angry universe?

They should be happy. It's much easier to be the critic, and for the next four years they will be the most criticizing network.

i can't find a single person that respects fox news. im willing to bet the majority of viewers are actual liberal critics, that's a fair assumption, right?

less conspicuous media, like BBC and MSNBC relish over the fact that Fox takes the majority of criticism, leaving their outlets flawless and attractive. im more scared of the subtle biases than the theatrics of fox news.

so the liberal leaning media is responsible for fox's incompetence at hiding their bias? If you want to play dirty, at least be good at it.

I enjoy watching "the panel" on FNC. Sometimes it's good to hear the other pov. I can't stomach Hannity, though. O'Reilly is alright.

Only watched about 1 minute of Fox, but I thought I heard the Anchor taking potshots at the people in the crowd in front of the Whitehouse. Anyone else hear it?

I dont understand the hatered for bias...conservatism, like it or hate it, has a large following. Why shouldnt there be a news station catering to it? I dont get it...

Bias colours News. News is supposed to inform, bias misinforms.
