Van Susteren Rescues Palin From Saying She'd Like To Lynch Sandusky
Is there a single Republican presidential candidate out there who is interested in the advice of Sarah Palin? I doubt it. I have yet to hear any of them even mention her name. But don’t worry, Sarah. You’ll always have Greta Van Susteren. She trotted out Palin for more than 16 minutes to offer her special brand of insight into each candidacy. Later, Van Susteren "corrected" Palin when she indicated she'd like to lynch former coach Jerry Sandusky.

Herman Cain Shrugs Off His Anita Hill Joke: Herman Is Going To Be Herman!
They must be getting dizzy over at Fox News trying to keep track of all the Republican rehab they’ve been dishing out lately. But Friday (11/11/11), on the heels of Rick Perry’s debate do-over, Herman Cain got almost 25 minutes of friendliness from Your World. Host Neil Cavuto set the tone by gushing in his introduction, “The Cain train full speed ahead! …Herman still hopping!” B-roll footage showed people cheering for Cain.

Bachmann, crazy as ever, announced that “what’s wrong with the United States today” is that “we have too much socialism.” Then she announced that she is the person who can save the country. Hannity, of course, didn’t challenge a word.

Rather than doing any research or investigation, Fox News' "objective" host Bill Hemmer read a viewer's inflammatory question asking if Attorney General Eric Holder has committed treason - and then turned to the Republican guest for an answer. (H/T Aunty Em and Media Matters)

Rick Perry was on Fox News at least three times yesterday doing damage control over his debate debacle the night before. He appeared on Fox & Friends, America Live and capped off his Fox News trifecta with a 16-minute segment on On The Record. On the two later shows, Perry probably got more time to expound on his campaign platform than he ever would have gotten in the debate.
