So, I’ve been pretty clear. This election worked out for me. My guy won. I stayed connected to the election through a smattering of media outlets like Slate’s Political Gabfest, Andrew Sullivan, Politico and Salon.com. But when it comes to TV, I just realized, I have watched all of the salient presidential moments on Fox News!
My debate coverage was on Fox. On election night, I was at my Mom’s house. CNN was cutting out and for some reason we just ended up on Fox. And now as I watch the streaming coverage here at work (yes, at work), I’m tuned into Hulu. Hulu’s live coverage is provided by Fox News!
I am amused by the somber, sullen faces of the Fox correspondents. I remember the deflation in Karl Rove’s posture when they called Ohio for Obama. I hear the sighs of Brit Hume and others. I never watch Fox News Otherwise, but for whatever reason, fate this season has kept bringing me back.
One more oddity: the web sponsor for Hulu’s coverage is Paul Blart Mall Cop. I had to watch a commercial and stare at the little icon of Kevin James in the lower right corner of the screen throughout the coverage. Interesting advertising choice.
