It's all about ratings now. Nothing more. You can't have ratings without a horserace. So, just fabricate one. FOX is no better in this regard than any of the other MSM.

Absolutely right.

I think Kerry will be conceding tomorrow night. Almost every poll except the "who would you vote for today" poll has Bush with a comfortable margin. That doesn't get ratings, though.

Really? Do you really think if Fox reported what you believe to be "the truth" that it would cost them viewers? (I don't.)

Instead, I would think Fox would be happy to be the only media outlet to have polled and reported a coming victory for Dubya, if that's what their polling says. Then again, perhaps they're reluctant to report Dubya having any kind of a lead, for fear that it could cause needed votes to decide to stay home.

I guess we'll find out.
