I had just finished watching “Jon Stewart’s round-up video of Fox News election coverage since the debate” in Joe Windish’s “Palin report Due Today,” when our lame duck president came on the networks to make another non-news, non-encouraging and “non-sensical” address on the mess he has gotten our country in. (By the way, the Dow tanked another 80 points or so while Bush was talking—it has now “stabilized” at around 8,300).
When Bush felt that he had done enough additional damage and went back into his mansion without answering a reporter’s question, I decided to check out Fox News. And, lo and behold, after the “great” Cavuto lamented for a few minutes, Fox went right back to an “Acorn” report, immediately followed by a report and video of an angry man at a McCain rally yesterday begging McCain to “take it to Obama.” The other networks were still trying to make sense of the president’s address and of the economic crisis we are in.
You betcha, Fox is fair and balanced, and really cares about the real issues facing Americans.
