New Poll: Fox #1 Among Magic People On The Other End of the Air Force One's Phone

McCLELLAN: I don't know who you talked to, so--it didn't come to my attention. You don't know who you talked to either? Q: Well, the magic people at the other end off the phone. MR. McCLELLAN: The magic people at the other end of the phone. Well, I'll see if this cabin is-- Q: I was told, "We don't watch CNN here, you can only watch Fox."
