There was no crying on Fox News last night...
I think it's so odd that some bash Fox for being in the tank for the Republican party yet they never watch the coverage.
My guy didn't win last night and that really stinks, and after Fox News announced FIRST that Obama had won, they gave him all sorts of praise and adulation...and that praise came not from a Democratic strategist, it came from just about every person on their expert panel, including Karl Rove...I didn't like hearing it, but it didn't sound the least bit rehearsed or insincere...
And even though at the time I couldn't stand hearing about it, it was very touching to say the least to hear the thoughts of Juan Williams about the significance of Obama being the first African American President. He didn't gloat, but rather gave a very emotional description of what it meant to him...
That's what irritates me the most about Fox News bashers...they watch Hannity and think that's what the network is all about, when really there is quite a bit of balance on the network. It leans to the right to be certain, but it's not in the tank...
Juan Williams is a prime example of the type of analyst that Fox has. Juan took a lot of heat earlier in the election cycle as not being 'black' because he was a commentator on Fox News by some commentator on CNN or MSNBC. Although I often disagree with Juan Williams on his perspectives, I find him to be a refreshing liberal voice. He firmly believes in liberal principles, but he's willing to admit when a liberal is full of crap. That's what I expect of a news channel. Everyone has a bias, there is no way around that, but at least when a candidate or a party makes a statement or has a policy that is full of crap, call them on it...
Yes, I will continue to be a Fox News fan long into the future, because when the race was called last night, the commentary from the 'other side' wasn't gloating, it was introspective and sincere...
Enough of that...where's my Fox News HD?!
Very well said!:
