Fox Nation: Where's Your Coverage Of Sen. Thad Cochran's Win?

Posted by Ellen -7859.80pc on June 25, 2014 · Flag

According to Fox News' own reporting, the primary runoff last night between Senator Thad Cochran and Tea Party insurgent Chris McDaniel was dramatic. Yet Cochran's close win and McDaniel's refusal to concede is nowhere to be seen on Fox Nation. Do you think it might have to do with the fury being expressed by McDaniel that Cochran won at least in part by courting Democratic voters?

Right now, the top story on Fox Nation is a blaring headline, "Mr. President, Where Are Our 5 Million Missing Jobs?" That's right above, "Obama's Economy in Freefall?"

Just to be sure I didn't miss something, I did a search of the page:

Do you think they just don't want to talk about it because the Tea Party is furious and Fox doesn't want to air its own dirty laundry? Or is the GOP network just too busy attacking Obama? For what it's worth, I have not seen any discussion about it on television's Fox News Channel, either. The news is on FoxNews.com - but not exactly highlighted.

Update: McDaniel's name was originally misspelled as "McDaniel."

I’m really starting to believe that even the late Jesse Helms would be too far to the left for the Tea Party.

I hadn’t gotten to Priscilla’s comment, but I’m confused by it as well. WHY would there be “lots of racist comments?”

McDaniel’s being all typical teabagger whiney by blaming Cochran’s win on “liberal Democrats” who voted in the runoff. But I’m not understanding the reasoning behind “racist comments” when the race is between two whiter-than-white candidates.

Antoinette, I’m confused. Who are you talking about that’s “black?” Cochran is WHITE (picture can be found at his Wiki entry, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thad_Cochran ).

He’s black. The Jim Crow Tea Nuts won’t touch a black candidate. Not even the good Dr. Carson, if he decides to run for any office.

They certainly don’t like Sistah Harris on Out show. If the suits replaced Sistah with a young blonde bimbo, like Lizzy on Fox and Friends, their ratings would triple.

I suspect that the Fox Nation folks know that if a post on this goes up, lots of racist comments would inevitably follow and the thread would have to be eventually closed. Just saying…

Has the Tea Party got their tongue?
