Sharp-Toothed Fox News Team Has Gloomy Night
By Rebecca Dana
.... ...During the break, Messrs. Hume and Kristol—plus three other Fox All-Stars—bantered about the flimsiness of exit-poll data, which they all agreed is heavily biased toward Democrats.
“It’s a bunch of 24-year-old graduate students and retirees,” said Mr. Kristol, off-camera. “Who else has time to stand outside a polling place all day long?”
“Wearing peace buttons,” added The Weekly Standard’s Fred Barnes.
“They’re taking actual data that may be inaccurate and then they’re guessing at it,” said Mr. Hume.
“One thing is for sure,” said Mr. Kristol. “It’s not middle-class women out there.” ....
In the broadcast match-up, Mr. Hume was rooting for Mr. Gibson, his old colleague from ABC News, who stood to benefit Tuesday night from many years of experience and from the hefty lead-in of Dancing with the Stars, which draws a weekly audience of 20 million viewers.
Mr. Gibson, Mr. Hume said, is the best anchor working today. “I’m not that good an anchor anyway,” he said. “I think Charlie’s more fluid, more natural. His sweetness comes through. I have sweetness, but it’s too well concealed.”
