Fox News

While we may have been discussing the coverage of McCain's ads on Fox News, its clear that the channel is not jumping ship on the campaign. As the LA Times pointed out, when the network had the ability to ask some hard questions with its first official interview with Palin, anchor Sean Hannity threw nothing but meatballs to the VP candidate.

While some of the smaller, afternoon anchors may have suggested some negativity in regards to McCain, the prime time team remained steadfast in its support. While it can't be much of a surprise that Fox News remained firmly right, it still is interesting to see it pick its battles in terms of what kind of truth they want to portray. They may be willing to call out an ad that may stretch the truth/flat out lie but when it comes to an interview with a candidate that could result in major damage, the network backed off.
