Fox's Coverage of the Election - Vanity

Posted on 11/06/2012 5:15:36 PM PST by HawkHogan

Why do the talking heads on Fox sound so negative and dejected. O'Reilly sounded like he was ready to concede the election to Obama based on Hurricane Sandy. I don't understand the negativity.

Also, Juan Williams needs to go to MSNBC.

Too much useless yapping going on now.

We in TN did our part. VA looking promising.

Big mistake featuring the gasbag OReilly. All he's got is rehashed banalities from other commentators. He has no expertise in electoral politics and shouldn't try.

Then why did Romney mention that he did not prepare a concession speech?

the numbers show what the numbers show. They can only report what they show. We can have our feelings but the numbers are what they are and just because every objective measure has shown Obama to be a complete and abject failure, it doesn’t mean he won’t be able to pull this out. At some point, we need to accept it, whatever it is.

it doesn’t matter does it. I don’t make things up talk in conjecture or even post often because of my job. I spoke to a friend and posted what i’v heard. Take it how you want, but watch Ohio go blue...It sucks and it’s the damn stupid auto bullcrap.

The Blaze has great coverage, and is far more upbeat.

Yeah, their coverage has all the cheer of a graveyard. It’s like they’re already in ‘obit’ mode for Romney’s campaign ...

Agree. So early, and they're going negative on R&R. Not encouraging ... but I'm optimistic and if R&R win FOX needs to apologize profusely to the Republican voters watching.

How can they NOT know? They have been covering elections for how long?

I am just so blown away that a president who essentially said in his first month in office that if he didn’t fix the economy in 3 years, it was going to be a one-term proposition... Economy still in the tank. Unemployment still up (both official numbers and the REAL numbers).

A president who has thrown the war on terror out the door - making buddy-buddy with AlQaeda and their affiliates the Muslim Brotherhood. Directly supporting those who we were at war with just a few years ago...

The Marxists that Senator McCarthy tried to flush out and was alienated for pursuing have won.

I think those Obama wins were pretty much givens, but was hoping MD would flip.

“What insider is that??”

He signed up before the 2002 election (about a week).

His insider is likely his own mind.

Bloviating Bill is just ticked off at the Romney campaign for not coming on his show.....because the world revolves around this egomaniac. I agree that the coverage is dismal and totally down beat. We are switching to local channels for coverage.

News legs including FOXNews pay for the exit polls, so the talking heads are required to pimp them as a condition of employment, even if they know the exits are wrong.

I am not buying the Sandy/Christie issue. I just don’t see voters making up or changing their mind on last weeks Hurricane or Christie’s actions.

They aren’t keeping me! I put it on and they were talking like o was going to win and I just changed it to DIY, something kind of mindless to take the stress off.

Everything called for Obama so far was expected.
