Switching back and forth between Fox and CNN during Clinton’s speech was telling for a start.<\/p>\n

Fox was continuously breaking away from their shot of Clinton as he was speaking, to folks in the audience with funny hats, dark skin or, in at least one case, a guy who was either reading his program or falling asleep. (It seems unlikely he was falling asleep, but I have no doubt that’s why Fox chose to go to that shot). CNN, for the most part, stayed on Clinton while he was speaking, breaking away only during applause breaks.<\/p>\n

\nOn the Right: Brit Hume, Bill Krystol, Mort Kondracke and Fred Barnes
\nOn the Left (sorta): Maura Liason<\/p>\n
