2. "First Term" seems a little biased to me
Assuming there's going to be a "Second Term"

Jeez, Fox sucks.

3. I hope they
keep doing this stuff. Their credibility will continue to erode and only the Freepers will watch them.

4. They do this every time the chump takes dump in the polls
It is a meaningless spin from a meaningless source.
