If you didnt notice it, Bret Baier of Fox News added a little zinger when he signed off tonight. Instead of Fair and Balanced, it was Fair, Balanced and Unafraid. It was an obvious reference to the threats coming from the White House.
I know almost EXACTLY when I first heard them saying this because it was very meaningful... it was right after or during the 9-11 attack on us. It came with the flag pins they started wearing. So it now has sort of a tenuous connection to the 912 ers...or the “are you in a 9-10 or 9-12 mindset” question.
Fox needs a new segment on one of their shows:
Brown-Nosing the President. The MSM in Action. A Daily Update.
Trying to delegitimize journalists, tv and radio stations, isn’t that what tin pot dictators do in banana republics? I swear Obama has lowered the bar so low on the institution of the presidency I wonder if it will ever recover. He slams Bush every chance he gets even though he’s been in power for almost a full year. What an embarassment.
Brit Hume said that forever.
I was really happy when Brett used that sign off. I am also happy when Britt Hume graces Brett’s hour.
its not new, Britt used to say it before Bret took over.
It’s a great slogan, but not new. Brit Hume closed his newscast with it for years.
“Fair, balanced, and unafraid”

I’ve heard that line for as long as I can remember...not new.
It isn’t new...I remember Brit Hume saying it regularly @ the end of the show.
That isn’t a new sign off they have used it on and off for at least a year. The first time I heard it was summer of ‘08.
BUMP
