Gene Lyons: Keep driving it home

"LITTLE ROCK — If President Obama’s recent face to-face meeting with congressional Republicans had been a prizefight, they’d have stopped it: Obama by TKO.

It was such a mismatch that FOX News, unofficial network of the GOP, basically conceded defeat by cutting away 20 minutes before it ended. Other networks showed it all."

I forget exactly whee I saw it, but on Keith or Rachel, which I watch every night, somebody said the reason FOX cut off Obama before he concluded his smack down of the bumper sticker Republicans is because what he was doing destroyed the entire narrative Fox News is based on. To have run it in it's entirety would be sending a message to Fox viewers that they have been fed a steady diet of BULLSHIT from Fox ALL THESE YEARS!

I think the damage had already been done by the time they bailed. Which makes what they did even more obvious, doesn't it?

2. C-Span aired the face-to-face

segment day and night for a few days. I'm sure most of the Fox viewers saw what the fix didn't want them to see. I hear the Fox talking points from callers all the time. I think they view C-Span alot because when they call in nobody challenges them on some of their ridiculous claims. I don't think any of the Fixed news crowd view MSNBC since it's so gosh darn liberal and it will boost the ratings.
