"You're right. I should be eternally glad for Fox giving Harris' announcement minimal coverage. It was too much to hope that they'd get it right."

Sarcasm is not your forte is it? So tell me what did you think of the coverage CNN and MSNBC gave to Katherine Harris's announcement?!?!?!

I'm sure they'll cover that story later on in the week when they've got their liberal talking heads lined up to take snipes at her unchallenged. But I guess what makes them so much better than Fox. . .

Fox didn't get it right. They weren't accurate. And, because of that, they did a disservice to Katherine Harris.

They started to cover Harris' speech--she was talking about a bill she'd passed and was very proud of--but Fox cut back to their MJ coverage. Then the anchor came back on and said, "Katherine Harris IS running for the Senate" and cut back to her (this surprised me, because I had read about an hour before this in a couple Florida papers on-line that she ISN'T running). As the applause was dying she said, "but not this year." Then they cut back to MJ coverage, with a short statement that corrected their error. The coverage totalled about 45 seconds, and they weren't accurate. It would have been better and and certainly much more accurate if they'd covered Harris on tape delay (Brit Hume showed the complete sentence on his show).
