Obama did. McCain had him on the defense but he did not stick him on anything really. McCain looked very uncomfortable. Obama looked Presidential.

Even Fox says so.

That conversation between Obama and Joe the plumber was actually pretty neat.  Very relaxed and respectable even though they disagreed.

Good god. Do you just not get subtlety? You know, like how there isn't just 'black' and 'white', 'good' and 'bad', 'wrong' and 'right', but how all these things are all finely-graded, grey-scale, spectra?

The point about fox isn't that it's pro-republican-party, or anti-democratic-party, it's just that it's biased. News should be independent. But this is something Rupert Murdock doesn't understand.

FNC's propaganda puts it out way out on a limb. Combined, MSNBC and CNN have made 798 references to ACORN or Ayers. Remember, that's both networks, combined.

Put another way, FNC has mentioned ACORN or Ayers 50% more often than both of its competitors put together.

I do.. if I didn't I'd come up with some silly notion that he was being anti fox because he said the obvious. Irony

Did you not get the sarcasm? I was saying exactly what you are suggesting I'm not doing "It's not all black or white".

Too bad they left out ABC, NBC, and CBS in their stats...I mean, since they're talking about FNC's competitors and all.

That's not to say they don't have a point about the focus of the morning show on FNC. Which is not a news broadcast, btw. No more than the Today program on NBC is news.

ABC, NBC, and CBS were left out because they aren't specifically billed as "news channels".  How often would ACORN be mentioned on re-runs of Desperate Housewives?  In each of the above "News" is one of the "N"s in the station designators.

Anyways, I'll start whining - Why does MSNBC concern itself with the middle class and economy, showing a clear bias towards these things?  It royally sucks, nobody wants to hear about that!

Fox News is shooting themselves in the foot and not even following their own market research.  Hence why MSNBC over-took them in ratings last night.  Funny.

I mis-read the blogger's quote. I thought it was referring specifically to the Sunday morning talking head shows, which all channels mentioned broadcast.

At least MSNBC has sidelined Olbermouth and Matthews. Olbermouth makes O'Reilly look calm, composed, and non-partisan.
