Fox: Fair, balanced and very very blue
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Boy, those folks on Fox look glum. No, glum doesn’t do Bill Kristol’s face justice.
They look like their favorite dog died. It’s a funeral there. All that’s left is to throw dirt on the coffin. Barack takes New Mexico, Minnesota, Wisconsin.
You can read the electoral map on Brit Hume’s face. It’s blue.

LOL Jay.
Who will be the first to call it for Obama?
MSNBC?
Chuck Todd is the credible man.

What is the purpose of this comment? Gloating? Is this responsible journalism? This is the New America, people divided against each other mocking their defeats. How bad will it be 20 years from now?

Spoken like a true Democrat, always looking for the negative. Why are you even watching Fox News. All your drive-by media buddies are on ABC, NBC, and CBS. Get over yourself Jay.

Let’s wait until the lead is insurmountable.
It’s disgraceful the way they cheer lead for the GOP. They showed Bill Ayers going to vote this morning.
They were talking on CNBC today about the Obama rally. But we all know there is much more at work than that.

Your liberal media drivel is not unexpected. The media has been biased and has reported unfairly during this whole process. If Obama does end up winning, it shows the sad state of the intelligence of the majority of the American public. It shows they can be manipulated and swayed by the liberal media and that they will accept someone’s outright lies, which is what Obama has been doing - lying to the American public. If he does win, the blood of thousands of unborn babies will be on the conscience of those who voted him in.

Hard to feel bad for Fox. Such a mouthpiece for the GOP. They should be forced to watch the results all night! I may try to watch The View tomorrow. Hasselbeck should be screeching up a storm! I am going to enjoy all this!

Jay B,
I would be surprised if you could find any evidence to support your conclusion. These guys on Fox look like they always do and they’re covering things pretty straight up. As a journalist, or rather someone who plays one on a blog, you should be more concerned with the cheer leading at MSNBC. They’re the ones killing your profession.

After the last eight years of “in your face” republicanism, I think more broad-minded journalists should be allowed a few pokes to the hard-core righties. Poke away, Jay!

Jay, Gee, thanks for modeling this new, inclusive America that Obama has promised us, where we are all supposed to get along. Face it, it’s not in your make-up (just like it’s not in Obama’s). Well, hope America doesn’t get buyer’s remorse.

No, a couple of them look pretty gay. If that’s the way they always look, then what a pathetic sight to watch, day in and day out, S. Vannity is such a pretty boy too!

Fox News = Hoax News
I liken Hoax News to the Cartoon Network, in fact, I just insulted the latter! They tried to hijack the election and they stumbled badly. If Hoax News don’t change their cartoonish ways they will go the way of the dodo bird.

Then we must give credit to W for the blood of all the thousands of unborn babies aborted the last 8 years. That’s just giving credit where credit is due of course.

Robards,
The only reason I don’t think Jay B has a point about Kristol is because Kristol almost always looks glum and you’re 100% right about Hume. One of the last true professional newsmen, but sadly he’s retiring.

Bush has been the most pro-life President we have ever had. Obama has clearly stated his views on abortion and he is one of the most pro-abortion politicians out there.

Ok, this is creepy. I don’t know who this other T letter person is. I thought I was the only one whom would have thought of such a clever name.
We have to remember, it is not over yet.
True, the tears, sniff. I want to pick the song I will be doing a dance to later, in the street.
The numbers at the polls this election were amazing. Maybe, America is speaking with her big girl voice. No longer a whisper, form a select few.
No matter the outcome, I am proud and yet,humbled to have shared this moment in history.

So you say. That’s a sad thing isn’t it. Not one aborted baby saved in 8 years and thousands of Iraqi and Afghan citizens “collaterally” damaged. Try again loser. I’m sorry I didn’t hear the news “W” had Rowe v. Wade reversed. I don’t meditate to Fox News much.
