Barack Obama joined with his wife and daughters to vote for himself (presumably) in this historic election this morning, and Fox News was there — seemingly against their will, as they narrated the segment complaining and whining about how they “weren’t even planning to show Obama today” but because they had to fill air time and McCain wasn’t around, they had to give positive attention to Obama as he (presumably) enjoyed the moment of showing his young daughters how to vote:

The woman was particularly annoying with her hopes that McCain and Palin watch this and do the same thing so they can give them “equal time.” Guess what Fox News, it was 7:50 am, so John McCain wasn’t up yet. Literally. He gets up at 9. And let’s call this what it is: a Fox News temper tantrum about being forced to cover what has been for every other network a symbolic and uncontroversial news event. Whiny. Babies.

  1. Ah yes, they said what I’ve been thinking for years: volunteer poll workers are the backbone of this county (huh?).

  2. “You hear the cheer and you see the handshake, and you think ‘Eugh, maybe…’”
    That’s totally how to choose who to vote for. Ugh. Great Job, Fox News.

    You know that part in Watchmen where they take all of those artists and intellectuals and ship them off to an island? Can’t we do that with the Fox News crew? Granted, it’d turn into a Lord of the Flies scenario after that, but who cares!

    CONSULTING OTHERS? how is showing his daughters how to vote ‘consulting others’. WTF fox? why do they think this should only take 20 seconds? even if you’re voting straight ticket it takes at least as long as this stupid segment. who are these commentators? because i see a splitscreen of obama/biden that means i’m going to vote for them? if you think voters are that stupid, fox, then you deserve to have them all be persuaded to vote for obama.

    I can’t believe the petty commentary on this video. FOX News management’s supports of these reporters comments, regardless to their support of the rival presidential candidate, is uncanny and ensures I won’t use them as a news source. Additionally, if I looked at FOX channel programs, I think this would cure that. Thanks for causing me to take a stand on an otherwise non issue.
