    Will Fox News face any backlash for what they tried to do?

    I'm not sure how many noticed.. but Fox tried to do what they did in 2000 last night. After every network (including them) called Ohio for Obama pushing him over 270.. Karl Rove and the cronies tried to pull the call back (just like they did in 2000 with florida).... they spent a good 30 minutes spinning so hard they almost fell over dizzy.. but it was pretty blatant and pretty disgusting.

    Today they are calling Obama a communist and attacking the validity of the election. Will there be a backlash?

    I don't think so, if people are intelligent it will just be ignored

    Your "respcted journalist" Chris Matthews last night was questioning the validity of the election at 8:30 PM.
    He said the Florida election was being run like a 3rd world country and then said "No offense to 3rd world countries"

    THAT is disgusting. People grasping at straws HOPING the other guy win. Not so much.

    Personally I find fox news a waste of time and too bias for my taste

    But nothing will happen - an old refun of Flying Nun is more entertaining

    I actually enjoyed watching faux news during the past two elections. It's kind of like looking at a funeral for a serial killer.

    Probably not. What Rove and friends didn't realize is that even if Obama lost both Florida and Ohio, the electoral votes would still go his way.

    What Rove was doing was trying to point out that it was way too early to call the states a win. He knew romney was going to lose but thought it was ridiculous (which I did too) to call it so early...

    Seemed to me that fox was the most with it of all the news stations on election night. Other than the Ohio thing they where ahead of everyone on their calls. Maybe you should be worried about CNN getting backlash from their garbage coverage the whole night.

    They called Ohio with 70% of the vote in...they called wisconsin with 8% of the vote with with romney leading barry by a couple points...
