For anyone viewing Fox News over the long weekend, rest assured you were not imaging things. Fox News did in fact relentlessly, and at times almost comically, over-sell the story about the non-job offer the Obama White House didn't make to Democratic Congressman Joe Sestak in hopes that he would end his primary challenge of Sen. Arlen Specter in the recent Pennsylvania primary. (Sestak won the contest.)

There was no “job” offer, because what the White House kinda/sorta floated to Sestak was an unpaid advisory position. (That's not a “job.”) Sestak wasn't interested. And to date, I'm not aware of a single press account that has quoted an independent, non-partisan legal expert who thinks the Sestak non-job “offer” broke any law, or represented something unusual in politics.

Meaning, there's no there, there.

It's true that on Friday, when the White House released its official explanation of the incident, lots of Beltway insiders spent way too much time trying to rub two Sestak sticks together in hopes of creating a spark. But even they eventually seemed to realize the story had no legs, based on the facts in play. (See sad, clichéd exception, here.)

But inside the right-wing world of Fox News? Sestak definitely = blockbuster. And the cable channel literally could not stop talking about the shocking Sestak controversy, even though since last Friday there were no new facts to report.

Behold the number of “Sestak” mentions on the cable news channels between last Friday and this Monday, according to TVeyes.com:

CNN: 37

MSNBC: 60

Fox News: 221

Yep, Fox News aired approximately six times as many "Sestak mentions as CNN, and four times as many as MSNBC.
