Fox News: LOL.

Fox News asks a random group of Pennsylvanians who they will vote for.

The room is split according to the reporter.

One look at the scene tells us otherwise.

Here is my anecdotal evidence that Obama will win PA. Take that, Phil!

You're too late, someone already attacked Phil using this today (in the polling board).

[Moooooo]

The one old guy in the back raised his hand for McCain.  His wife gave him a whack and corrected his vote.

Yeah, I saw that. Hilarious.

If only she goes into the booth with him...

And casts two votes, too, like she tried to do here.

And it made no sense using it against me. Then again, the poster cleared up that it wasn't really an attack against me. He was just sarcastically saying that it backed up everything that I'm saying.

[Bacon King]

Is that the room laughing at the reporter as he announces it to be "split"?

[Likely Voter]

why didn't fox just find a more GOP friendly area to stage this? Bad advance work on their part

[Ronnie]

LOL

It's really funny that people were laughing in the background as he was saying "it's split".

[TheresNoMoney]

I love this video.

Yes.

[True Federalist (진정한 연방 주의자)]

It's not as if he said it would be split evenly.  He just said that it would be split, just like the vote in DC will be split between Obama and McCain.

That woman is an FF.

Well it looked like an old, white, (possibly) rural area. I guess they figured that Mac would have a decent showing there. Oops!

Maybe Fox News isn't as biased as liberals think it is.

"The room is split between Obama and McCain"

Did you watch the video?

They saw a room full of old, white, working-class voters in Scranton. They assumed they knew how they were voting.

Is that Brian Wilson a respected "journalist" or just some known McCain supporter doing some tv stuff? It sucks to sense a certain bias in a journalist, let alone bend the facts like this one. Even if I fully agree with a journalist, it just makes me cringe to see them give their opinions so openly.

[Klippa]

Okay. I'm in Australia, and I really don't know how US media organisations work, but do any of you consider it at all possible that Fox might endorse Obama before the election?
A few months before the Australian federal election last year the thing that told me that the Labor Party had a real chance of beating the Coalition government (despite their large majority) was that Rupert Murdoch spoke publicly, failing to talk up John Howard and in fact damning him with faint praise.
Early this year Murdoch spoke publicly, expressing an interest in Obama and praising at least some aspects of his candidacy.
Murdoch is very powerful and highly opinionated (and self-serving), but he is also a pragmatist and usually seems to pick the winners. He might well endorse Obama as the exciting, best-prepared candidate, the one who the country needs to lead us into the future. What's the chance of Fox (or any part of the organisation) following his lead?

He's not just a "journalist" he's the Fox News vice president and Washington DC bureau chief.

Murdoch and Fox News have become different beasts entirely. Murdoch has endorsed Labor in the past, but what he has created in the States is a hard-core right-wing organization.

This happened in the UK. The biggest selling UK paper (by a mile - read by 1 in 4 adults every day) , the Murdoch-owned tabloid The Sun is traditionally a Tory supporter. In 1992 Labour should have won the election comfortably but they came out with a classic front page headline "Will the last person to leave Britain turn out the lights" accompanying a photo of Neil Kinnock's head as a lightbulb. The next days headline? "It was the Sun wot won it". But in 1997 they switched support to Labour, and of course Blair won in a landslide. They've switched back in the last couple of years.

But Fox? Hannity? O'Reilly?? can't really see it. Would be a damn good story though

true: Murdoch is a businessman: he saw there was a niche for a right-wing Cable TV station and he filled it.

and I really don't think Fox News will go from "terrorist fist jab" to "Obama 4 President!" If they did, they would kill themselves with their viewer base.
