[...] One benefit some might see to liveblogs of this nature would be the possibility of a critical close reading in the vein of The Daily Show or The Colbert Report. Viewers watching have the chance to analyze and respond to the way the news media spins narratives, reveals its biases, and manipulates the audience. There has been some of this cropping up on the web, mostly related to Fox News, but these are all separate blog: this kind of analysis rarely takes place in the liveblogs offered by the networks themselves.

Thanks Dgun, and thanks everyone. It wasn’t that bad, just really, really long lol.

Now if you’ll excuse me, I must go bar my doors for the obviously oncoming attack of Black Panthers.

Congrats Bill.

Over the last couple of years you have, upon occasion, really impressed me with your insight and your skill at satire.

But I have to say that I am at a loss for words for what you did yesterday. It shows real dedication and heart. Thanks.

Bill, I thought I was going crazy last night when I heard the same noise beeping in the background on Fox News. It drove me freaking crazy. I had to turn them off and watch someone else.

Great play by play. I saw the collapse and dismay from the pundits all night long. Whether you are Dem or Rep, it was a historical night we can all be proud of. Thanks for your funny comments and for letting me know I was not going nuts on the beeps.

[...] leave a comment » Some poor soul liveblogged Fox News’ election coverage from 5:15 a.m. until 11:02 p.m. It’s actually pretty funny and worth partially reading. I warn you though that the constant stream of bullshit starts to have kind of a numbing effect on you pretty quickly, and you’re just having the information relayed to you. It reminds me of a Washington Post magazine article early this year where journalist Gene Weingarten needlessly subjected himself to 24 uninterrupted hours of news coverage. [...]

You, sir, are awesome. Congrats to you, and…

Congratulations to President-Elect Barack Hussein Obama!!

This is Bill’s web host with a sincere apology that I robbed you of all of the rest of the day of analysis.

Something to do with mysql needing an upgrade for those of you who don’t see a lot of sunshine.

I don’t throw the term “hero” around lightly, but you sir, are the greatest hero in the history of the world.

Did you notice (might have been in there and I missed it) that FAUX was referring to Al Franken as “Comedian Al Franken”. I didn’t see them referring to any other challengers using their occupation. I’m sure it’s just a coincidence.

I am home sick and have been watching Fox most of the day. Your blog is spot-on. It’s good to know I wasn’t hallucinating this right wing crap storm. Black Panthers, indeed.

Thanks.

I’m thinking this will be an important historical and anthropological document…

Out here in L.A., I actually saw a guy with a poorly-made “Obama is a terrorist” sign. He didn’t stay long, and the women with No on 8 signs (to portect gay marriage) were getting plenty of supportive honks.

I’m really confused — what is all the Black Panther stuff about? Does Fox really have nothing else to say?

Been following along, Bill. You’re amazing. But I fear for your mental health. If you survive, please see your doctor.

Black Panthers!!!
