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.

O’Reilly is a narcissist who lives in his own world where the rest of world doesn’t.

Chris Christie may as well wallow in that Hurricane mud, because that’s his name from now on. ‘MUD’!

Yes the Debbie Downers like O’Reilly seemed to be giving O’Bamas winning anaylisis BASED ON EXIT POLL. Of course we know about Exit Polls.

Clear headed Rove gave very incouraging info on Virgina and Ohio based on stats, Trippy wasn’t disagreeing with him much.

O'Reilly's an idiot. Don't you know that yet?

Other than that, I don't hear the same negativity you claim. These people are just trying to fill time when there are only 3,000 votes tabulated yet.

Calm down.

I had to walk out of the room, the election just started and Fox acts like its all over. Think I’m just gonna sit and read the Bible for a while.

Don’t be fooled. FOX is nearly as left as the rest of the media.

They’re probably unhappy that Obama is losing.

BOR’s bottom lip seemed to be quivering

None the less, I tend to agree with his view of what Americans have become: They want “things” (from others than themselves, sadly) and brown and feminine.

He said the white majority is history. Statistically, that will certainly be true in a few years.

People BOR and my age recall what America was - and that explains our quivering bottom lips.

That was Bill O Reilly at his best. He called it exactly right. He will get some flack for that little segment because it was not politically correct at all. This country is not the same as it was 20 years ago. What passes for the "American public" these days are far more dependent and want free stuff. There just aren't enough productive, self reliant Americans left.

Were the demographics and voting patterns the same in 1980 as they are today, Reagan probably couldn't get elected. It's that bad.

BTW the media is more to be pointed at than he.

Nice to hear Meagan Kelly point out that none of these are firm numbers yet.

We shouldn’t lose sight of the fact that they’re watching their ratings numbers at the same time they’re watching the races. They need a cliffhanger for the ratings it brings.

2% of Broward county showing Obama.

HOWEVER, from what I saw of ‘early voting’ (I drive around all day in Broward) was about 90% black voting for early voting. Supposedly to prevent disenfranchisement on election day.

Keep up hope folks.

Join date has everything to do with doom and gloom vanities posted on election night.

Read along and post in threads about your concerns. Quit wasting bandwidth with inane vanities.

Yes, other than Steve Doocy, I think Fox play acts to get our viewership.

No one cares what is in a concession speech, only that it was a concession.

Ted Baxter was sounding like it was over. But Karl Rove was on after BOR and was very positive for Romney. Looking at the tally right now its looking good. Romney is getting the percentage of independents he needs in Ohio. Fla is even with the Panhandle still voting. Virginia is light red and so is North Carolina. Romney is looking good right now at 7:44 CST.

Well I won’t watch the MSM including Fox, They are morons for the most part and don’t intend to waste energy on their inanities. I am following FR, hill buzz and the Morris twitter stream. Listening to the 3-2-1973 Grateful Dead concert, great show.

O’Reilly has no expertise in anything. Like all famous blowhards he spends all his time talking. He probably hasn’t set aside a ten minute stretch to think and reevaluate in a decade, and goes off habit or instinct. If it’s instinct he yells. Since he’s a superficial thinker to begin with he’s glacially boring and utterly predictable.

Hannity is the same, obviously, only more the party hack to O’Reilly’s defender of das volk. Rush probably hasn’t done much thinking in 20 years, the “show prep” probably means about as much as what I get from scanning FR, Drudge, or something. But at least he’s funny.
