What? Unfuckingbelievable

there's story here from USAtoday,
USATODAY.com - Are the media playing politics?

This idiot call it balanced and fair where the analysis of the first (and second) debate is even-handed. The methodology basically counts positive and negative assessments/mentions for each candidate. Fair and and balance would be an equal assessment of both for both candidates. Forget the specifics of the 1st debate for a moment, i.e. Bush was resoundingly trounced.

How the fuck do you deliver an fair and balanced verdict where your team loses 52-2? Surely, the even handed verdict it to call the loss a drubbing? To suggest both teams play well, well just doesn't reflect the evidence. Or is it just me? Do I just not get this shit? Who the fuck pays these people to deliver such shit?

Although, I agree with the final sentiment, if grudgingly: "And the stereotypes against cable news don't necessarily hold. In the debates, Fox has been 'fair and balanced' and CNN has not been 'liberal.' ". Fox has surprized me, and CNN are just incompetent.
