And yet with all Faux’s giddy excitement and willingness to influence voters while the election was still underway in NH…they were wrong yet again. Its predictable that breaking some rule is written off quickly because they really don’t have a consequence big enough to go after this fraudulent cable “news” network in the first place…so once again they let shit like this slide, and the news business takes another dump on itself not backing up its own standards. What a waste.

Fox news …breaking the rules,pshaw can it be? this all makes me want to go to sleep. Goodnight, I need the rest to handle tomorrow’s gloating.

If they broke the rules, BURN THEM!

Fox screws up and Democrats reap the benefit. Indicating that Republicans were winning had to have affected Republican voters urgency to get to the voting booth.

Right?
