Fair & Balanced (Vanity)
FOX Network

Posted on 11/03/2008 4:06:02 PM PST by BornToBeAmerican

Brit Hume just indicated on FOX that FOX spent close to $150,000 more interviewing and traveling with Obama than McCain.

So I ask in all fairness? Who do you think they are in bed with?

Much of that is because of the long dem primary I’m sure.

In relation, they where closer to balanced than any other network. Also, a lot of things where left out, such as the value of travel not charged, how often local affiliate’s air was used (thus travel not needed), Fox’s ‘roving reporter’ bus versus flying, etc. The cost of flights for each candidate (one candidate doing 5 star trips versus another taking 2 star trips), etc... Just that number doesn’t give us enough information...

Also, what percent is 150K difference of the total in relation to other networks.

No wonder Brit is retiring. It’s also why I don’t watch Fox anymore, not even tomorrow night.

I also have been very disappointed in FOX during this election season. Maybe it’s true that we need to keep our friends close, but our enemies even closer.

FOX, with the exception of Hannity & Greta, have been kissing Obama’s butt for a while now.

FOX SUX.

McCain and Palin campaigned together an awful lot. Biden and Obama campaigned separately. You’ve got to spend the money to see Biden. You just never know when he is going to uncork a gem!

Faux News merely wants to remain in the good graces of The One (piss be upon him), because they simply must have access after January ‘09.

The only media we remotely have in our court is Fox and all conservatives want to do is trash them.

How about trying to bring them back on board? It’s a lot easier than chucking them and re-inventing the wheel.

People talk about how the GOP is the “stupid” party...sometimes I think conservatives are just plain stupid themselves.

Me neither. Actually, I hate to say it - but CNN gives far better election coverage than FOX.

I saw it too. Their explanation was that they followed zero through the primaries and that's why they spent more on him.

Overall their assessment left me very depressed. They give McCain almost no chance.

The trip to Germany had to cost a bundle too. Plus, most of the people running the McCain campaign have run real business and know how to keep costs down. Unlike Barry and Co.

From: Aesop

ONE hot summer’s day a Fox was strolling through an orchard till he came to a bunch of Grapes just ripening on a vine which had been trained over a lofty branch. “Just the things to quench my thirst,” quoth he. Drawing back a few paces, he took a run and a jump, and just missed the bunch. Turning round again with a One, Two, Three, he jumped up, but with no greater success. Again and again he tried after the tempting morsel, but at last had to give it up, and walked away with his nose in the air, saying: “I am sure they are sour.”

BTW - I noticed you registered about 2 months ago. You wouldn’t be a “seminar caller” would you?

I’m the last person to rail on newbies, but this election season I got to wonder...

They don’t want to be on the outside looking in if B. Hussein wins.
