单集文稿 ...

  • From WNYC in New York, this is ON the media.

  • I'm Brooke Gladstone.

  • And on this week's show, we take a trip back in time to when Fox News was just finding its feet as a conservative outlet.

  • As they passed each other, Hannity made a prediction about the presidential race.

  • I think our guys got this.

  • I had a physical reaction.

  • My head snapped back and I thought, our guy?

  • Who's our guy?

  • Fox News now projects George W.

  • Bush the winner in Florida and thus it appears, the winner of the presidency of the United States.

  • I watched Fox all night and I think it was misinformation for us to be told things.

  • And it turns out that your analyst there was the cousin of George Bush.

  • I would tell people, they'd ask, what do you do?

  • I work for Fox News.

  • And they say, oh man, Fox.

  • I love Fox.

  • That's all I watch.

  • And I would say to them, don't do that to your brain.

  • It's all coming up after this ON the Media is brought to you by Progressive Insurance.

  • Do you ever think about switching insurance companies to see if you could save some cash?
