Guess who had the main camera feed at the Bush Monticello event.
One would guess CSPAN probably, right? Nope. Well, now it's pretty obvious. That's right, it was everybody's Fair & Balanced news team, FoxNews. I was just looking at my pictures and zoomed in on the camera guys credentials and low and behold, FoxNews. This was the camera that stood alone, front and center from the podium from which all the other news agencies obtained the live feed. I know it's no big shocker, just thought I'd throw it out there.

5. Not on that feed.
That was the CNN "roaming" camera guy that got the protesters.

6. I'm not.
Faux knows its viewers and knew that shots of the protesters would crate great outrage in them, because heckling the sainted Dear Leader is just not acceptable to them.

7. Nope, not Faux News. The camera pool is from the local Fox affiliate.
It's simply because they have the most resources available.

10. That's manure.
The NBC affiliate in Denver has far and away the best and most equipment.

8. One would suspect...
That for them to get it, certain understandings about acceptible and unaaceptible coverage and commentary were reached. Because if they are going in there to trash the convention, they may well find themselves in a larger pickle then they expected. Dems are gonna have more seats in Congress. That's pretty much a given. If Faux tries to trashtalk demean the convention, they could well hasten their own demise with a new Fairness Doctrine being rammed through the new congress.
