In an effort to ensure that this blog devoted to Americas foremost fair-and-balanced news network is itself fair and balanced, I have been trying to leaven my criticisms of Fox News with praise for those programs and personalities I actually enjoy. Nothing is all bad, after all, not even Fox News, and the network even airs some shows that might reasonably be described as good. One of those shows is The Five, the rowdy early-evening talk show that somehow manages to be consistently entertaining despite the involvement of Jesse Watters.
The Five airs at 5 p.m. and features a five-person panel which, on some nights, will discuss as many as five different topics. I do not know how the show got its name, but I guess it doesnt matter. I am a little bit surprised at how much I enjoy The Five. The show is a pretty standard Fox talker: regurgitating the same stories, insights, and conclusions seen elsewhere on the network. If Fox & Friends hits a story hard in the morning, you can bet The Five will discuss it in the early evening and that it will ultimately land in the same maddening place the morning mouthbreathers did. But whereas discussions on Fox & Friends tend towards the insipid and enraging, The Fives treatment of the same topic will be lively and engaging. Though its easy to predict where the show is going, its fun to watch its hosts find their way to the destination....

The pinkos don’t like Jesse Watters?
I wonder why?
The Five sucks. Would be improved if Andrea Tantaros replaced pRINO.
Too funny. The commies hate Jesse cause he kicks their butts. Jesse makes the show.
No matter WHAT time they put that show on...IT STINKS! So of coursde the leftard likes it and the POS who appear on...except for Watters, who is the ONLY good guy on an UNWATCHABLE POS SHOW!
Author is an unemployed Lefty with too much time on his hands.
A Five friendly column from Slate. Whooda thunk it?
As for Juan Williams getting in comments without getting cut off, I disagree. It seems to be Kimberly’s raison d’etre. Not that there’s anything wrong with that.
And contrary to the Dana haters, she is smart and knowledgeable. Just be glad Kim’s in the leg seat, and not Dana. LOL
I couldn’t believe it when they canned her years ago... Monica Crowley is another outstanding conservative you never see on FoxNews anymore.
The 5 sucks and so does this stupid article.
Nothing could save the 5 as long as they have a chair for their token pinhead liberal of the day.
Jesse is a walking time bomb that will embarrass Fox. His coarse, uncouth behavior will catch up to him. I will be glad when he is gone.
The Five would be better without Whine Williams. Cuss words spontaneously flow from my mouth when he talks.
That is because you are an idiot as evidenced by the rest of your article.
Monica Crowley is a long time Bush/Globalist/CFR. No thanks.
Dittos to that Reno!!!! The Jesse kid is one arrogant/conceited ‘I’m better than you’ piece of work.
Monica Crowley is a long time Bush/Globalist/CFR. No thanks.
Monica Crowley is 100% TRUMPian.
Jesse highly praised Megan Kelly when she debuts on MSNBC. Uh oh!
Otherwise, he is watchable as entertainment, but not much more than once a month.
This article - from Slate - is actually a good thing.
Juan Williams and Dana PeRINO gotta go! ..
I don’t agree. I think Jesse is a pleasant surprise with his staunch conservatism and grasp of current events . His ability to articulate conservative positions and poke a little fun at liberals is frosting on the cake.
