One of the best conservative-hosted talk shows is Tim Conway Jr's show on KFI. Last night while driving home (OK, while driving to a bar), I caught a bit of his election coverage. One comment he made that stuck out was that FoxNews was tracking Obama much farther ahead than the other cable networks, and he couldn't imagine why. But if I wanted to get out the ditto-heads on the West Coast, I'd make it appear Obama was doing better than he was in an attempt to increase GOP turnout. Now I didn't watch any of the coverage, preferring instead to watch Anne Hathoway in IMAX --I mean, "The Dark Knight Rises" in IMAX -- so I don't know if Conway's assertions are true. But if so, wouldn't/shouldn't there be a way to call out FoxNews for their attempts to manipulate an election?
