Hillary Supporter Ed Rendell: Fox Has Done Fairest Job Covering Campaign

Here's something you never hear from a Democrat: of all the cable networks, Fox News is doing the fairest job covering an issue.

Yet, that's exactly what Gov. Ed Rendell (D-Penn.), an outspoken Hillary Clinton supporter, said on "Fox & Friends" Monday.

I kid you not.

Speaking with host Steve Doocy, Rendell said the following (h/t TVNewser via NBer Thomas Stewart):

Well, I said that I think during this entire campaign coverage starting in Iowa and up to the present, Fox has done the fairest job, has remained the most objective of all the cable networks: you hate both of our candidates. No, I'm only kidding. But, you actually have done a very balanced job of reporting the news. And, you know, some of the other stations are just caught up with the, Senator Obama who's a great guy. But Senator Obama can do no wrong, and Senator Clinton can do no right.

Steve Doocy jokingly said, obviously making fun of Chris Matthews, "I just had a tingling in my leg when you were talking about that."

So did I, Steve.

Makes you wonder if Team Clinton thinks they did the right thing boycotting Fox News debates.

Hmmm.
