"I think during this entire primary coverage, starting in Iowa and up to the present -- FOX has done the fairest job, and 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 some of the other stations are just caught up with Senator Obama, who is a great guy, but Senator Obama can do no wrong, and Senator Clinton can do no right.”
He did this because the kind of voters he's trying to appeal to are the ones most likely to be watching Fox.
Update from John Cole:
Ed Rendell, someone I actually like, is on Hardball right now lying through his teeth, claiming the Democratic party did nothing wrong in Florida and Democrats are being unfairly punished. Roll the tape:

When I see comments like this, I am inclined to join those calling for Hillary to bow out. Hillary and her campaign leaders insist on making Republican-like attacks on the leading Democratic contender and lauding Fox News and the likes of Mellon-Scaife and Murdoch - if that's how they campaign they should run for the Rethuglican nomination.

Nah, I don't think she should drop out. I think it's good for the party and the country that she stays in. Not only is it better from the standpoint of the legitimacy of the outcome, but the competition is driving up voter registration.
Rendell is disgraceful, though.
