God to Florida: Vote Kerry or my wrath will continue

It's the 4th day of the Republican Convention, and nothing captures the punchy mood of both journalists and their audience than this utterly masturbatory article from Fox News.com, the main theme of which is how Fox News commentators are revered by convention attendees and officials:

Peter Brownfeld, too, has had to fight off embraces by some Republican delegates, a number of whom told him how much they love the channel and that FOX News is the only fair source of news on television. A young Republican even approached Peter while he covered the youth convention Wednesday and offered to answer questions Peter hadn't asked.

One delegate from Maryland told Peter: "I don’t watch anybody but FOX News. Everybody feels that way." She also shared with Peter the name of her daughter, Reagan, an obvious reference, and her son, Charlton, whom she named after actor Charlton Heston, the former president of the National Rifle Association. Peter said other delegates spoke admiringly about various correspondents and anchors on the channel and wanted to know if Peter had met them.

Explains a lot, doesn't it?
