I only had one eye watching FNC last night (the other was working on balancing my check book, a far more daunting task) but I noticed some strange numbers soon. However, after really looking at it, and thinking about it, the reason (I believe) was because they were calling races based on exit polling, while presenting the actually tallies at the same time. Sometimes this meant someone who was going to win the state got the little check mark and delegates... while their numbers were lower than an opponents. All in all, a bit confusing if you ask me. Elmo... I didn't notice any bias, and am not a Romney fan (actually, I don't have a horse in the race yet). I'm always a little leery when someone says something so bold as what this guy said, but gives no evidence. What makes him think there was bias? Tone? Stories reported? The guests? Something said in an interview? Sometimes I think projection allows people (especially critics) the ability to see what they want to see... not what's actually there. But hey, I don't need to tell you this! You could find bias in a bowl of alphabet soup... so I'm sure you know all about projection.

Also Fox had McCain at single digits in Alabama for several hours before showing more accurate totals later on. Any insight on this?

Especially the following comment: <b>Fox's ill-disguised pro-Romney bias was equally grotesque</b> How can he say such a thing about the "Fair and Balanced" channel? I liked the Newsday article.

How can he say such a thing about the “Fair and Balanced” channel?
