Chris: Don't say you weren't warned. FOX is sounding the alarm that there might be multiple states embroiled in 2000-like recounts again this year.

Chris: FOX blames Democrats for current financial crisis, misleads on Obama support from failed Fannie and Freddie.

Melanie: Fox hired former
Hillary Clinton communications director Howard Wolfson
almost immediately after she suspended her campaign. And is it any
wonder? He is totally ineffective at kicking butt on behalf of
Democrats. He's embarrassing. But his inability to get the job done is
precisely why Fox hired him.
Melanie: You've got to read Neil Cavuto's take on the upcoming Biden/Palin debate. Words can't describe...

Ellen: Karl Rove and Sean Hannity spun Sarah Palin's disastrous interviews by saying - get this: she was over-prepared.

Deborah: Bill O'Reilly continued his blatant McCain campaign initiative,
The Obama Chronicles this week.

Deborah: FOX News promoted a story this week about a an 11 year old boy forced, by his father, to wear a handwritten T-shirt to school with the message "Barack Obama Terrorist's Friend" resulting in the child's suspension and the father's pride. It wasn't clear exactly how FOX News felt about the the 5th grader's plight.

Outrageous Quote: Last week's vote went to Neil Cavuto for his sympathy for the nation's wealthiest:
"Now, this notion though, and it's been a steady
theme on the part of the Democratic ticket...to say that the rich have
not done their fair share, not that, you know, the upper 2, 3 or 4, 5%
are that rich these days..." Aaaww. Vote in this week's poll at
