Barack Obama finally appeared on Fox News in an interview with Chris Wallace today, ending the 772 day Obama watch. Obama did pretty well in the interview, which was surprisingly "fair and balanced". I don't think anyone would consider the majority of Wallace's questions to be softball. You can check out the transcript and see for yourself. In the post interview coverage Brit Hume made pretty astute calls on Obama skating by a few of the questions, but praising the overall effort. I often hear Fox decried as being a bastion of horrendous journalism, but I don't know if that's always the case.
Obama should have appeared on the Fox long ago, or at least when the first rumblings of the Jeremiah Wright controversy began to stir. I think this interview will certainly help Obama attract some of those white middle-class voters. It took a lot of guts for Obama to go on Fox News, especially the way things have transpired in the last month or so.
