This is really quite amazing. Chris Wallace goes on a Fox News show (Fox and Friends, or something like that), and spends about 5 minutes trashing their coverage of Barack Obama’s speech on race. It’s worth watching the whole thing, if only to see the obviously irate hosts trying to prevent their heads from exploding while pathetically defending their coverage.
Please share widely!

“the complete soundbite”. It’s good to know they have standards, and aren’t giving only part of the soundbite.

I don’t disagree with Wallace’s comments here, but the whole thing seems much more of a planned conversation than any sort of truthful, extemporaneous dialoge. Fox News knows what they are doing, and a little clip like this (spread around the interest, etc.) helps gives Fox News the “fair and balanced” cred they need with moderate independents before they launch into the next round of fully biased Clinton/Obama bashing.
