Why is FOX running "Polls: Voters Doubt Palin’s Qualifications While Obama Expands Lead" as its election lead?

Question

http://elections.foxnews.com/2008/08/30/polls-voters-doubt-palins-qualifications-while-obama-expands-lead/

WHY wouldn't they try and spin it a bit more positive for the delusional amongst the Republicans?

Answer 1

If Fox isn't bigging up its own team and slamming the other team, they're scaring people. This tactic is the latter.

Edit: Exactly, Steve. They've become masters of the fear tactic in the last 7 or 8 years. If they get a sense that complacency is setting in (and by that I mean RATINGS complacency, mostly) they'll put the fears into people. Once that';s done it's a simple case of challenging them with 'So are you going to take this...or fight? The endocrinally-challenged will always puff up and froth patriotism.

Answer 2

No way to put lipstick on that pig.

I don't me Palin. She's cute.  

Answer 3

Because contrary to what the delusional Liberals will tell you, FOX news really IS fair and balanced. They simply APPEAR biased when the rest of the networks are leaning left with their coverage, and FOX is not.  

Answer 4

this is far from over...remember even senator Biden said Obama is NOT qualified!

Because their paid pollsters won't lie for them right now.

Answer 8

Shows Fox is objective.

Quite unlike your blind, obedient robots like CNN, NBC

Answer 9

Because they actually are fair and balanced, despite the liberal myths about them.

Answer 10

They are fair and balanced, unlike MSNBC. Why, when you see evidence of how fair they are, do you still come here and make insulting and derogatory remarks?

Answer 11

maybe i dont know their not as biased as you think

not saying they arent just saying not nearly as much as the clowns at nbc or cnn

Answer 12

It's the truth! Obama for President! If you want a coutry in 10 to 20 years you had better start thinking of voting for Obama!!!!!!! He is our only solution to our many problems the Bush (Republican) administation has caused!

Answer 13

Maybe they're finally living up to their moniker: "We Report. You Decide."  

Answer 14

A usa today poll
