I don't usually bother with TV at all, but my wife seems to want to get her news from Fox for reasons beyond me. We have a home theater system, and invited our neighbors over tonight to watch the election returns on Fox with us.
We were appalled by the process through which the Fox morons cheerfully dismissed state after state before the facts were even in, a pattern epitomized when some babe strutted in smarmy fashion down to their "Decision Room" to humor Carl Rove's contention that Ohio had been called far too prematurely for Obama.
It was an amazingly amateurish, overly glitzy production throughout, and one where every single Fox News person seemed more than glad, titillated in fact, that Obama had won. I found it disgusting beyond words.
I left Fox long ago, but I think my wife finally saw the light tonight. We're done with the. May they rot in whatever hell they go to.
Whoraldo — haha!
How does anyone stand to watch FOX with all of those awful LCD screens flickering in the background?
I’ve continued paying for the most basic cable service for emergency purposes, but I think I am going to cancel it altogether.
Fox network is not the problem, the deliberately undereducated socialist/ Mussolini model fascist indoctrinated American people are the problem .
Combined with a Republican party leadership who enjoy/willing to put up with the taste of DNC donkey dick so long as they get to enjoy the perks & prestige of high office are the problem.
I stayed on FR.
The Democrats control the Electoral college with the Latino/Black/Feminist/Union vote
The Democrats will win the House in 2014.
Same here..I said to my mother earlier that it doesn’t affect them one wit that Obama won. They have their jobs regardless and big money, they have no idea what hell the little people have been living in.
That f'n magnificent bastard Rove pushed for what he wanted. And now he's trying to explain what went wrong.
I'm just guessing here, but I doubt any of it will lay at this feet. And I'll also bet it is laid at ours.
The RNC leadership needs to resign. We need to reorganize from the bottom up. States that haven't gotten it straight for decades, need to have their leadership stand down too. If the RNC wants to exist at all, it needs to get ready for a big triple helping of humble pie. Otherwise, it will wind up with ten million registered voters, and find itself unable to compete. Oh that's right, it can't right now for the White House.
The Karl Rove charade was one of the most embarrassing things I have ever seen in professional news and television. It was a tantrum being thrown by a loser. A loser whose SUPER PAC just blew $250 million on another loser.
We need a TeaParty Party, that will reflect true conservative vales.
The GOP is now dead, like the Whigs, who couldn't win national elctions.
As long as the Tea Party is in tune with the full gamete of Conservative ideals, I could go that way.
I don’t honestly think it’s ready. Of course the RNC isn’t either, so we’re pretty much screwed right now anyhow.
I’ve been done with them for over four years. Their idea of fair and balanced is Liberals like Rivero Beckell and Moderates like O’Really. No thanks. I’m certainly sick and darn tired of seeing Rove’s face as well. I turn on FOX when breaking news is happening and usually at that have to go elsewhere.

I cannot beleive what I am reading, I thought Fox was our official voice so to speak.
Was i watching the same coverage? Megan wasn’t bubb;ly at OBama winning she is always like that.
The only person that pees me of is Greg whatsit from the Five. He is an unfunny try-hard.
OK. What better source did you find?
I have already stopped watching them, our only hope now is his BC issue
My thoughts exactly! Other than my adult children and my grandchildren, I just don’t give a you-know-what anymore. Therefore, I’m just going to hunker down and try to live out my remaining days as best I can. This is not the America I’ve loved for almost 60 years and I doubt it will ever return in my lifetime. The idiots who voted for the SCOAMF have no clue what they’ve thrown away and as such do not deserve to live in the awesome America that died yesterday.
I don’t understand. They have many people checking the stats, checking the numbers and modeling the data. Just because we don’t like what the numbers show doesn’t mean they’re wrong. Did they call it for Obama and it was actually for Romney? no. Rove, bless his heart, had a breakdown last night. The numbers are what they are and all the foot stomping wasn’t going to change that. No person turned around and went home after Fox or any news outlet called a race prematurely.
Look, I distrust the media more than most people and have for a long time but we can keep our heads in the sand or just deal with the reality we’ve been handed.
Sadly Fox and the likes of Rush, Hannity are just outlets for conservatives to get news and vent their frustrations. Don’t get me wrong I enjoy Rush and Sean’s entertainment but just listening to and venting through conservative talk shows doesn’t cut it. We need to communicate directly with the electorate at the grass roots level via organizations like the Tea Party because the so-called conservative media like Fox falls short and is ineffective. And of course the liberal media is the main source of their brainwashing and needs to be bypassed. Hopefully it’s not too late.
In my estimation it is too late. We are destined to become a socialist country (or worse) and there is nothing I can do about it.
I am no longer going to spend my remaining days caring (I'm knocking on 60's door). I am just going to attempt to enjoy my family and friends for whatever time the Good Lord allows me to remain on this mortal coil. My hope and belief is the next life will be better.
