Even folks who aren't usually enthralled with Fox News gave that operation points for the debate of Republican candidates it staged the other night. The questions were not all softballs calculated to allow Obama-bashing. One or two of them even drew boos from a live audience that didn't seem to want to see its candidates challenged in any way.
Rush Limbaugh was irate the next morning that it wasn't all set-ups to slam the President and that the candidates actually criticized each other. Sarah Palin said much the same thing. I don't think Ms. Palin believes (or believes in admitting) that there's any such thing as fair press coverage that doesn't totally support and advance your causes and worldview.
We're in for an interesting election…when Fox News is being accused of treachery for only spinning most, not all, of the news the way the Limbaughs and Palins of the world demand.
