My first time on Fox. And I don&#8217;t feel dirty at all! Hopefully, it&#8217;ll not be my last. Hey, I was even honored to offer them a <a href=\"https:\/\/bradblog.com\/?p=6534\">big scoop<\/a> on air, in the form my very own &#8220;Fox News Alert&#8221;, after which, I&#8217;m told, they ran the headline during top of the hour news and on the crawl. So we did some good, if only for that. You&#8217;re welcome, Fox!<\/p>\n<p>Host Julie Banderas asked me, kindly, near the end of the segment (<i>video below<\/i>), if I&#8217;d felt they&#8217;d been &#8220;fair and balanced&#8221; with me during the segment. I believe they were, which was much appreciated. Though I wish I had answered &#8220;Yes, you were, thanks. In <i>this<\/i> segment. And I hope you&#8217;ll have me back to discuss the GOP&#8217;s ACORN &#8216;voter fraud&#8217; hoax, about which you guys have been anything <i>but<\/i> fair and balanced over the last week or two, and, in fact, <i>dangerously<\/i> <i>un<\/i>fair and <i>un<\/i>balanced.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>But, hey, ya can only fit so much into seven minutes. And I think I was able to get some good info in. You&#8217;ll let me know. Here&#8217;s the segment&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><center><iframe width=\"420\" height=\"315\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/V7-w0NUm3FA\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/center><\/p>\n<p>For those who&#8217;ve asked, yes, when I was booked I was told we&#8217;d most likely be discussing &#8220;voter fraud&#8221; issues, not housing crisis issues&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>As the <i>WSJ<\/i>&#8216;s John Fund, who has a book on &#8220;voter fraud&#8221; (spurious claims of it, but in any case) would be joining me in the segment &#8220;for balance&#8221;, as I was told, I presumed that&#8217;s what we&#8217;d be talking about.<\/p>\n<p>But, an hour or so before hand &#8212; while I was otherwise busy with some other interviews &#8212; they sent notice that we&#8217;d be asked questions about the effect of the housing crisis on the election, for some reason.<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps Fund didn&#8217;t want to talk with me about &#8220;voter fraud&#8221; again after his last experience when he hung up during the first commercial break while we were on the radio together a couple of weeks ago (<a href=\"https:\/\/bradblog.com\/?p=6478\"><i>audio here<\/i><\/a>). Maybe he told the folks at Fox he didn&#8217;t want to do that topic with me when he was booked. Who knows? The segment prior to ours <i>was<\/i> about the ACORN nonsense (and inaccurately covered, as has been the habit for Fox and even CNN and MSNBC of late.) But, as mentioned, I&#8217;d be happy to come back and offer them some &#8220;balance&#8221; on that topic, or any other, any time.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>UPDATE 6\/17\/09:<\/strong><\/em> Jacoby pleads guilty to voter registration fraud.
