Victory party at Fox News  (Video)

Who else was cheerleading for the Republican victory last night? To find out, Washington Post columnist Dana Milbank watched Fox News's coverage of the 2010 elections for 18 straight hours. (Anup Kaphle/The Washington Post)

Post editorial writer Jonathan Capehart shared some tough love to the final four contestants after the video challenge. Who should advance to the finals? Cast your vote at www.washingtonpost.com/pundit.

 

Dana Milbank has a cute dog! :)

Here is the part that is astounding:

On Fox News, Election 2010 is cause for cheer

Wednesday, November 3, 2010

EXCERPT:

This cheerleading on the final day of the 2010 election cycle was to be expected. Murdoch and News Corp. took the unusual step of donating $1.25 million to the Republican Governors Association and another $1 million to the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, which led the effort to defeat Democrats. According to a report by the liberal watchdog Media Matters, no fewer than 30 Fox News personalities have endorsed, done fundraisers, or campaigned for Republican candidates or groups in more than 600 cases across 47 states.

=======================

Now, I'd call that MEDIA CORRUPTION!  We are missing a big opportunity to hold FOX News accountable if we dont call them on this.  If we dont do that now, we will not have a chance one day when they will do this to someone we want to elect to the WH.

FOX has been no less biased than the other news outlets - though they continue to refer to FOX News as "Fair and Balanced." Greta's show would be the exception, as she does seem to try to present both sides.

O'Reliiy, Hannity, Beck, and Huckaby are so right wing I find them impossible to watch.

Ditto.

I was also making an observation about the amount of donations these supposedly unbiased media have made toward some candidates.   I think that is media corruption and needs to be called so.  I didnt agree with KO donating to anyone.. not any of the other media people doing so.
