So while I am amused by the whole gag, I would say it’s less about the “high” road and more about the fact that the “low” road may not work. Fox News was low-roading all over Obama, making up crap and trying to make a deal out of nothing. It never really impacted Obama’s popularity, as anyone vaguely on the fence saw it and said “ok, this is stupid, if that’s all Fox News can come up with, then I guess there’s nothing to find”.

It really tickles my pickle that Fox might break the record for largest settlement, right after they broke the record for largest settlement
