“So why is the MSM (including Fox) acting as though it’s in the bag?”
Because the left wing media—and YES, FOX is included—is simply reporting whatever it is told by its friends in the democrat party. And the DC left figures calling it a done deal will become a self fulfilling prophecy.
Fox is especially acting like it’s in the bag. They are intolerable today. Had to turn them off.
I agree!! Remember, this is the same BS the media pulled in 2008..remember, “Dont bother voting, Obama has this thing in the bag” perhaps if more people had come out to vote McCain would have won..the media(And yes your right about Fox, the last few days I have noticed their giddyness over Obama) is promoting the Obama agenda, if they had the votes they would have voted yesterday
I think the situation with the news is that, first of all, they’ve never been good at handling fluid situations. Second, the rat vote comes mostly from the rats, and the rats are taking full advantage of the media spotlight on their every word. The pubs don’t really have a lot to say except providing their ongoing observations, revelations and critique of the bill. Third, everyone’s waiting for this to resolve and there’s not much to report so the news stations, including Fox, are reporting every tidbit the rats throw at them. What we’re really experiencing is more like a void or absence of substantive news while we wait.
The rats are the main media focus right now and really aren’t using the situation to their best advantage when you really think about what they could be doing - selling their bill to the public. zero’s approval is down to 43% and he’s overexposed. Nazi comes off like a prissy little zombie, and Reid is nowhere to be found. Hoyer’s been keeping a real low profile, so they all seem to be hunkered down and not communicating with the media that much even though the media is hanging on any and every word they can dig up.
So I wouldn’t be ina hurry to blame Fox.
