Fox News Counts Obamas Votes - Calls it a Split Decision

[8Thirst]

He says...

Everyone raise you hand...

Then he says.. whos gonna vote for Mccain.

There was actually 2 hands up for McCain 1 of which went back up for Obama. His wife raises 2 hands you cant count that lol.

[PumaOPumaOPumaO]

I love how like, the ONLY hand in the air to vote for McCain...is the reporters

[19996669991]

The only person that puts their hand up for McCain is the journalist!!!!!

At best it's just straightforward bad journalism but at worst it's an example of how the media manipulates us into thinking what they want us to think........this sort of shit influences elections which is why faux does it of course.

[anonywho]

Post-election this is still pretty funny-especially since most stations called PA for Obama by 8:30 EST.

[striderUK360]

That sound effect always makes me laugh.

[twilso96]

Hilarious. I like how he said that it looks a little heavier for Obama. LOL

[lordstafford69]

It WAS split,ie, not unanimous.He didn't say EQUAL,50/50,or a dead heat.He even said that it was favoring Obama.I guess he could have added "heavily" favoring Obama.Also,we can't see the whole room and there might have been other people we didn't see pick McCain. Regardless,what he said was true,not everyone picked either candidate, but more picked Obama. Seriously, when you dissect things this closely, it makes you look paranoid.Even on the court they call it a split decision, even if it's 8-1.

[XXtheJUMPoffXX]

LMAO this is f*ckin hilarious.

I love the old woman slapping her husband's hand down. And how the only one voting for McCain is the news reporter. Yeah, that's definitely a split vote. And just a "little heavier" on the Obama side. LOL!

[PoliticalPlayhouse]

that other guy rose his hand by accident, lol. The reporter was the only one voting for McCain.

[Mogh]

Fuck you and your lame, ineffective propaganda, FOX. Try again in 2012.

[F33bs]

This is one of the BEST examples of bullshit of Faux News.

The fuckin' lady who frantically yanks her husbands hand down, and then raises up two hands for Obama! Ha ha ha! It couldn't possibly get more one-sided!

At least we can all be content with the knowledge that Fox News sucks mondo balls.

[stanjz]

Also, that entire side of the room went for Obama. What are the odds that the other side of the room went 100% for McCain? No, you know FOX is a big time propaganda network. It is a sham.

[truescorpio14]

how can u saw the other side of the room voted for mccain anyway, he didnt look over there watch the video

[truescorpio14]

funniest thing ive seen all day other than the palinpresident site

[RoskoFontana]

"Fox News. . . we report, WE decide!"

[mccainno]

Is the reporter raising his hand?

Balanced and fair?

Wow, Fake news again!!

[ddrussianinja]

To be fair, we couldn't see everyone in the room, but considering the laughter, I'm willing to bet the rest of the room wasn't a whole lot different.

I will say that I don't think this was Fox News being biased. This was just the reporter trying to make a point and when his point wasn't demonstrated, he just pretended that it was. He's probably just not good at thinking on his feet.

Still hilarious though.

[rakrobn]

Is that why when he asked who is going to vote for McCain he raised his hand - and HE'S the one doing the poll?

[onedeadcat]

How does that reporter live with himself.

[alexkidd3d]

ouch, that looks bad.

[howe5529]

obama will never be president. God will not allow the african american people to be robbed like that. God will one day bless us with a good christian, honest repulicn african american president.

[GhaadCity]

honest republican is an oxymoron and they do not belong together in the same sentence

[ddrussianinja]

...Right.

[AtterseeSommer]

I like Brain Wilson's work with the Beach Boys, but now he's go too far. Get off the drugs, Brian.

[tymebeta]

LOL I love the man in the back raising his hand for McCain and his wife? slaps his hand down!

[chjoezen]

I counted 8 people off camera. Perhaps many of them raised their hands but I doubt it. Here's a prediction that Fox News just provided. McCain wins in PA by 51% to 49%. Sponsored and brought to you by Diebold

[onstageagain]

Daniel Pipes, founder of the Middle East Forum think tank

Newsmax asked whether Pipes is alleging outright that Obama has lied about having a Muslim upbringing. Sen. Barack Obama is lying when he insists that he has never prayed in a mosque and was never a Muslim,

Pipes response: The evidence suggests to me that he is lying, yes.

[evas99]

Be fair, there was one vote for McCain...the guy with the microphone!!!

[Christian408]

he probably had to if u count the camera man lol

[amynmiami2]

was is 9 for obama? It's hard to see but I think the man sitting way in the back (behind the old couple) raised his hand for Obama, too.

[ChaseLewis1]

It's obvious he picked this room because it had some older white people in it (more likely to vote for McCain) Then when it didn't work out they pan the camera away and try to twist the truth as always...

[somnolent49]

Oh man, lollin at the old dude in the back whose wife jerked his hand down.

[curtrob]

UM..excuse me but its not even close my friends. Now this doesnt mean that Obama wins the election. This just proves how biased FOX news can be with the reporter raising his hands for McCain and being the only one...

He makes himself look silly asking the room a question, not getting the answer he expected,a nd trying to make it look even...

HILARIOUS

[tsshury]

around 18 seconds you can here the patrons laughing at him after he says its split

[rsadlier]

Ha! my favorite part!

[wondergirl05]

an on the fence state. GET OVER IT.

[wondergirl05]

It needs no defense moron. Use your head and really listen to what he says. You left-wingers will take anything out of context and ATTEMPT to manipulate it into something that you want it to be. And this is just simply not that. Could he have worded it better so you dimwits could comprehend what the whole point of the news story was about? Yes. Do you really think he just went into some random diner with 8-10 people in it to see who they were voting for? No. He was in NE Pennsylvania because its

[Arbal3st]

...

What?

He asked 8-10 people in the room who was voting for either McCain or Obama, of that group Only 1 person (himself) raised for McCain while 8 raised for Obama. 8-1 isn't a split, and yet it was called a split just for the sake of saving face. It was a dumb decision to run this story.

Suck more GOP cock, please.

[billybillfat]

Wondergirl, you are so smart. The point is that if want to engage in Republican-speak, you have to suspend how you usually think of "words", imagine what you want the Republican to HAVE SAID, then tell everyone they're an idiot for not having interpreted it that way. I get it - being a Republican is FUN!!!

[tigerman8000]

dimwits? arent u being ELITIST?

[stanjz]

Even when you have clear absolute proof of the propaganda they still defend it. It's amazing.

[wondergirl05]

What all you ignorant idiots are failing to understand about what this reporter is saying, is that the votes are fairly split in NE PENNSYLVANIA... which is why he emphasizes that the votes in the ROOM are leaning heavier towards Obama. (If you had watched this report from the beginning) Jesus, stop with all of your Fox News bashing. If the truth bothers you so much, snuggle up with your Obama TM security blankets and watch CNN.

[AXEPEX]

He raises his own hand... that's a little biased for a new reporter who's fair and balanced don't you say?

[smithy0989]

wow FOX news obviously cant count

[SSBMasta99]

This proves Fox Noise is biased shit.

[RoyaltyAuthority]

LMAOOOOOOO

[NakedWombat666]

LOLMAX. Let's see, according to Fox, 8 divided by 2 = zero? eight? I'll have to ask them.

If this had gone McCain's way, he and his pitbull (laugh) would spend the next four weeks crying about it while the economy crumbled. That darn liberal media - it's in the tank for Obama! LOLOLOLOLOL

Signed,

Another Pennsylvanian voting for Obama-Biden!

[thefinalkut]

Breaking news from Fox: There is no moon.

[thefinalkut]

And they wonder why there are being sued for false advertising of their slogan "fair and balanced".

They wonder why they are seen as a laughing stock in journalism worldwide. Just Pathetic.

[Kobolinear]

Definitely split, fox news, definitely split. Nice work haa.

[semisih]

split? lol fuck fux news

[AtterseeSommer]

Yeah, "at the moment".

This is so pathetic. Fixed news should be ashamed.

[erikjecar]

LOL!

[westt34]

I mean Im being real its not a blacc or white thing they need 2 jus get over it man obama has a plan mccain think that america is in a good state right now so obviously its a no brainer blacc or white obama got a fuccin plan n mccain jus got a Palin LOL

[FreshGalaxy]

lolololol

[Annlindgk]

Just when you think Fox can't go any lower...

[detailsinthefabric]

the only guy voting for mcain is the reporter guy. hahahah

[westt34]

u notice that 2 see he was suppose be bias n not say shit but he put his hand up like a lil bitch he ask them n he gon put his hand up

[cheke64]

hahahahahahahahahahaaa

[stanjz]

You can't keep lying when people have you dead to rights. There is no spinning this. FOX News bringing propaganda into your living room. Leave the lying to us. Our supporters are brainwashed into supporting us no matter what.

[p300grim]

Hilarious. Gotta love Fox News. Complete denial.

[Zona992006]

The beauty of this is, Fox will back this up with, oh yeah, its is really split. Hannity, comments?

[Browork]

Fox News...oxymoron

[fastfingersfunk]

he obviously said split regarding the state polls as he said "i'd say it's a little heavier toward obama in the room". and the video was wrong, at least two people raised their hand for mccain, not zero, as the video suggests. plus whomever else was in the room that we did not see.

[R3Nation]

Your joking right?

Wow your Wrong...

The two people that raised their hands did so ON ACCIDENT. Thats why she quickly put hers down and her husbands and then threw them up ENTHUSIASTICALLY for OBAMA.

Also he said he was going to "ask the room a question" and did a "Room vote" not a State Vote...

Are you serious? You Fail. And probably the reason were in the S*** Pickle were in now..

[fastfingersfunk]

first off, it's "you're wrong" and "you're joking right?".

we don't know if that guy wanted to vote for mccain or if his wife was making him put his hands up for obama.

either way, the guy says "i'd say it's heavier for obama in the room right now" so where is the problem?

the story was how the race is tight in that part of the state so to me when he says "it's split, although i'd say it's heavier for obama in the room", i don't see the problem.

[R3Nation]

First off your on You Tube - Not Writing an English Paper Smart Ass.

You and I both know those two that accidentally raised their hand are voting for obama.

Oh and There's No "Problem" here..just a video..

I bet you enjoy Fox News or maybe you just don't have a Similar Sense of Humor, likely both. No disrespect...

[BlaauwLog]

Hey, do you have the clip of the reaction from the studio after he conducted this vote?

[KrapZap]

@R3Nation

First off, why the hell do you care so much?

Second, How's Obama working out for ya man?

[TurnAGundam992]

You're fucking kidding me... did you miss the "As you can see" part before he said "split"

.. and 7/9 should doesn't even deserve "heavier to one obama" it may as well be entirely, considering one was potentially a mistake, and the other was conducting the survey the husband, we can not truly say, but judging by the wife's reaction there is no doubt she meant to vote for Obama... Though you are right, there were two people.. one being the reporter- wow this fox news doesn't seem biased at all

[MisterJiggyFly]

"Obviously"? So the guy just finished observing the votes in the DINER - NOT the entire state...then calls a split vote, referring to the whole state (out of nowhere; without even mentioning the state polls at that point, mind you)...THEN he goes right back to talking about the poll in the diner? You call that 'obvious'? That's not even believable!

Face it...he showed ridiculous bias, then tried to cover it up after realizing how stupid he would've looked trying to sell it to the viewers

[fastfingersfunk]

the whole story, if you have seen it in full, was about the polls in that part of the state being split. i agree he fucked up by saying it was split but i don't think he was trying to cover anything up, that's just what the story was about. he said the room was for obama. period.

[kingss04]

"alright see its split"- he's obviously referring to the vote counted in the room not the entire state. If he were referring to the whole state, there would've been footage of, like, some other diner with patrons all voting for mccain. He could have acknwoledged a sampling error, and it wouldve fine, but no, he had to cover it up.

[siriusblack12757]

Fixed News.

[R3Nation]

I thought it was funny how that old lady put her husbands hand down...and then went CRAZY raising it for Obama!

Old white people DO LOVE obama, dont let Fox News Brainwash ya.

[tubebunny7]

I didn't see anyone raising their hands for McCain.

[rakrobn]

The reporter did. How unbiased.

[MarquisdeBarrabas]

This is so funny.

[Bain6969]

Gotta love Faux News.

[dorkingly]

fair and balanced huh...what a dirt bag liar..so tyoical of foxaganda news

[edwardvondoom]

WOW...even the people in the background are laughing at this tool. IF you still think Fox is fair and balanced you're really on that dope.

[xveebabyx]

This is pretty pathetic! I think the journalist raised his hand for McCain! lol! FOX News is so fixed! They couldn't even find a Diner in a Republican area? Or maybe they did and even the Republicans aren't voting for McCain!

[dorkingly]

yeah..i noticed that that lap dog excuse of a repoter raised his hand and then expected everyone to follow..what a joke

[nba2020]

this guy needs to get new glasses

[MarquisdeBarrabas]

I think he needs a new soul.
