If this isn?t a reason to love Twitter, I don?t know what is.? You can get the gist of a Fox ?News? interview without the agony and fury of having to watch it.
These are tweets from ABC News reporter Matt Negrin about Neil Cavuto, ?the most important journalist in business news,? interviewing Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker today.
(Image via screenshot of Fox News commercial.)
Scott Walker is facing a recall election tomorrow so Fox is donating hundreds of thousands of dollars of dollars in-kind campaign contributions to the Walker campaign via hours and hours of television coverage. ?Poor guy.
Fox, being ?fair and balanced? and all, is highlighting poor crybaby Walker?s alleged trials and tribulations at the hands of mean Democrats and God awful unions.
The situation is so dire, and Fox?s concern for Walker is so strong, Fox is pulling out all the stops.? It seems to me what with Europe melting down, China faltering and all the attendant ramifications of that, ?the most important journalist in business news? would have actual business news to cover, but no.? Fox?s focus is winning the election for Walker (and Romney and every Republican in between) so all that silly business stuff will just have to wait until November 7.
Anyway, here?s an outline of the riveting interview:
Get the set-up?? Poor baby Walker is a martar in the fight against those spoiled brat union workers, as in teachers, and he?s doing this for you people!
Cavuto gives Walker an opening to talk about how everything in Wisconsin will be wonderful (morning in America) if only the mean people would let go of their hate and try to understand how much he loves everyone.
What?? I thought Fox was a hard news outlet. Neil Cavuto is sharing his thoughts?? Sounds more like a talk show host.? Nah.? They wouldn?t let the most important business news guy in the world do that.? Would they?
That?s par for the course.? When we were working on Outfoxed during the 2004 campaign you wouldn?t believe the difference in how Fox portrayed Bush versus Kerry.? Bush was always shown in a very presidential light (always had a suit on, always in very dignified settings) while Kerry was shown in situations where he was sloppily dressed or in short video blurbs when he was caught giggling or something.
Yep.? If you were looking for actual content that would be the highlight of the interview.? But if you were a Fox regular and could read between the lines, you got a whole lot out of it.
