Super-blogger Johnny Dollar has yet another must-read post. In mock-news fashion, he "announces" that Fox News has selected Bill O'Reilly and Sean Hannity to anchor its election night coverage. An interesting scoop, but there's a catch: It's not true, as Johnny $ acknowledges almost immediately.
What is true, as Johnny notes, is that MSNBC's election coverage will be co-anchored by Chris Matthews and Keith Olbermann. Now Matthews and Olbermann are different people, with different worldviews, but they both agree on one thing, and that's Bush-bashing, and it's a safe bet that Bush-bashing will be a major component of Tuesday night's coverage. That's commentary, not news. And viewers--if there are any--should be advised that they are going to be spun by experts.
As said here first on The Cable Game, MSNBC now stands for "Mostly Seeking to Nail Bush Constantly."
