Because Fox News told them exactly what they wanted to hear, to keep them happy and watching Fox News. If Fox News had told the unvarnished truth (assuming it could), the base would go ballistic and accuse the network of selling out to the Obama Machine, or some such nonsense.

As the token liberal, Williams was allowed the tell the truth, just so the viewers could ridicule him for saying such “liberal nonsense.”

I’m hard pressed to say whether Fox News was aware Romney hadn’t a chance, and lied about it to the viewers, or if FN really is as clueless as it appears to be.

As the token liberal, Williams was allowed the tell the truth, just so the viewers could ridicule him for saying such “liberal nonsense.”

Not a very well thought out plan in this case, In this case the viewers saw the Dem on fox telling them the truth and the Republicans on Fox lying to them. I sure hope there are a lot of Fox viewers that have had their eyes opened by that fiasco.
