The Fox News coverage last night was outstanding. It was very positive, up-beat, and easy to follow. On the election night thread here, even many from the left on this forum agreed. In fact, of the more than 300 posts, I don't recall anyone having anything negative to say about Fox at all.
They had Bret Baird (Special Report anchor) and Megan Kelly (who did an excellent job) hosting the show, along with Carl Cameron manning the election maps. They also had a 4 person panel to analyze the races and discuss the results, which consisted of former Dean campaign manager Joe Trippi and Juan Williams from the left, and Karl Rove and Brit Hume representing the right. That my friends is what you call "Fair and Balanced" coverage.
They also pulled off a news first, by bringing in and interviewing at the same time, the only two women ever to appear on a presidential ticket... Geraldine Ferro and Sarah Palin. It was a pretty cool segment and the first time those 2 women have ever appeared on-stage together.
I'd give their coverage a solid "A".
