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

So other than Rove losing his mind and desperately/dishonestly trying to turn the election into something it isn't just so people won't turn him off when it's over they were decent?

Not really sure what they "tried to do" other than cover the election and not call OH as early as the other networks.

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...

Yeah it always amazes me that after 2000 these news channels still break their neck to be the first one to call a state. I think it is pretty ridiculous.

I was watching and all that was happened was Rove saying that based on the counties that where left he wasn't ready to call it. Meanwhile on CNN it was still a 167-167 race.

And you do have the freedom of the the remote as well...and the freedom of the mouse click.

No. Rove lost his head doing everything to avoid calling a Rep loss. He was even asked by that blonde idiot ( can't remember her name) if he was just making up math to make himself feel better as a Republican. Doesn't get more obvious than that. And since it's the same play that stole the election in 2000, it's not hard to make a connection.
