Results Are In And Many Agree: Fox News Offered More Balanced Election Coverage Than MSNBC

Ya think?!

Fox News graphics sucked. A busy mess.

MSNBC had election coverage? I thought they were doing some undercover report on the lack of antipsychotic medications at a local mental hospital.

[Citizen of the Savage Nation]

Agreed. Nice to see Brit back but frankly I thought coverage was superior in 00-06.

FOX was AWFUL!! The graphics AND Megan! They needed to have some political might like CNN had....even MSNBC was better and easier to look at!! Carl Cameron was a joke too.

[Wee-Weed Up]

I switched over to MSNBC once and all they were talking about was the few races that Democrats were projected to win in. I got bored because I was looking for NATIONAL coverage, so I switched back to Fox.

And they needed Michael Barone to help explain and decipher results as they came in. I didn’t see him at all until after 1 am my time.

MSNBC’s main lineup, on the other hand, was basically its center-to-left lineup of nightly hosts: Chris Matthews, Keith Olbermann, Rachel Maddow and Lawrence O’Donnell.

Now out of that group, who exactly is center? What a joke.

MSNBC’s election coverage was led by a panel comprised mostly of its opinionated prime-time hosts (Keith Olbermann, Chris Matthews, Rachel Maddow and Lawrence O’Donnell, along with frequent contributor Eugene Robinson)...

There were actually a few times when Lawrence O'Donnell and Chris Matthews were so unhinged that, in comparison, Keith Olbermann showed fleeting moments of rationality. I caught several instances of him rolling his eyes when O'Donnell and Matthews had really gone off the rails.

Of course after those atypical occasions of momentary decorum, the reprehensible Olbermann bounced back to his more comfortable role of a screaming banshee for the left.

“FOX was AWFUL!!”

So it wasn’t just me...

[BenKenobi]

I loved the fox coverage. They even had Geraldine Ferraro out there! C’mon you can’t say that’s a classy move.

[BigSkyFreeper]

I liked it. Course my feed of Fox News is true HD and not the letterbox on the SD feed.

[Ann Archy]

No kidding....Michael Barone knows EVERYTHING about politics!! Megan knows NOTHING! It was embarrassing!!!

[MamaB]

I went to MSNBC but I had to change the station. They were laughing like maniacs. I wondered what drug they were on.

[Ann Archy]

CNN was good coverage.

[truthandlife]

I thought Kelly was not great at all. She definitely was not ready for “prime time” for some reason. The graphics were awful. I actually thought MSNBC had the best production (meaning graphics, music and feel). The commentary was awful for MSNBC with awful Leftist hacks.

[BunnySlippers]

CNN had Roland Martin and David Gergan. No, thanks. I switched back to Fox.

[My Favorite Headache]

MSNBC was and is an absolute juvenile snob laden arrogant nest filled bunch of assholes. Their display last night was beyond pathetic. I actually found myself enjoying CNN’s coverage a great deal all night and morning. That is until Anderson Cooper needed to get the convo on gay rights having a set back going.

If you look at the center between two butt cheeks you might be able to say they resemble that.
