Fox cut feed of GOP-Obama debate.

[Swede]

Gee,I wonder why?


Some commentators are pointing to the fact that Fox News cut off the live feed of Obama's debate half-way through as proof that the president got the better of the GOP on Friday.

"Perhaps the most telling aspect of the speech reactions," writes David Weigel at the Washington Independent, is that "Fox News, alone among cable networks, cut away mid-broadcast and went to a newsless interview with Rep. Peter King (R-NY)."

NBC's Luke Russert offered more evidence that at least the GOP views it as a loss for their side.

"GOP aides telling me it was a mistake to allow cameras into Obama's QA with GOP members," Russert tweeted Friday. "Allowed BO to refute GOP for 1.5 hours on TV."

1. They cut it for the same reason ESPN cuts from a blowout to the start of a new game.

"We already know what the result of that one will be. Here's a new tipoff..."

6. Or when the referee steps in to stop a fight

The House Republicans are gonna need a good cut man in their corner if they're delusional enough to think this should be a regular event.

3. They know who their audience is. Just good business to cut mercifully away.

Before they lost viewership.
