For me the other story of the evening was the media round up. I was channel flipping through most of the coverage. While there are many reasons not to watch FOX, I decided to watch a couple of their segments. The one that stuck out for me was their lame attempt to create news by putting one of their guys "on the ground" and in the middle of a small protest.
As their guy got ignored and yelled at (for being the FOX News hack that he is) the people in the studio tried their best to portray the "developments" as an indicator of chaos and danger ... what a joke. The guy went out of his way to stick himself in the middle of what ultimately was a fringe group's parade. Still, one of the studio bubble heads went so far as to express concern for his safety in such an environment.
Their subsequent "analysis" of the evening's events was equally laughable. Bill Kristol, whose claims about George Bush and the war in Iraq are equaled only by the Titanic's claims to unsinkability, was especially loathesome. There's a reason kids like him get beat up on the play ground.
At the end of the day Team FOX exhibits all the traits and characteristics of - and would have been perfectly at home at - Joseph Goebbels' Ministry of Public Enlightenment and Propaganda.
