Did anyone see Greta Van Susteren just now?
Fox News | 03/07/05

Posted on 03/08/2005 7:35:07 PM PST by Borges

She was doing a segment on the Lefkow murders and had one of Matt Hale's 'friends' on. The guest went on and on about how the Jewish Defense League should be investigated and the sketches of the suspects 'look Jewish' and suggested that Ben Smith's murderous 1999 shooting spree was legitamate retaliation against 'Jewish vanadlism' against 'White Civil Rights' Groups

Greta just sat their smiling and nodding at this unsubstantiated garbage and blurted out 'well you and I don't see eye to eye...' Why would she be a medium for this sort of thing? What complete garbage. Fox really needs to think about the tabloid trash that it's peddling these days.

Funny. I read all the posts here and, although they are full of complaints about Greta and Fox I didn't see a single one calling for censorship. It must not be a crime to say Jew or Jewish since the moderator hasn't removed your post yet. It's even OK to call everyone else an idiot although it says more about you than anyone else on this thread.

MMM...

I guess I don't get it. Judge Lefkow and her family are not Jewish, as far as I can tell, but it seems a lot of kooks thought she was... Do I get that part right?

I agree with you.....I watched about two minutes with the woman who was the friend supposedly of Hale....couldn't watch it all because jeopardy was on.....lol

but, let people have their say...

I think for the MSM and the cops to be jumping on the "white" supremist thing immediately after these murders is about as ridiculous as this woman claiming that the JDL is behind the murders .....

but the more you stiffle and refuse to hear the conspiratorialist out there, the more paranoid and the more dangerous they become.....

Sounds like I'm not alone. Greta Van Susteren and her anti-particle Geraldo Rivera typify all that is wrong with journalism. For some strange reason Greta thinks she has the exclusive right to hinder or jeopardize a case by interviewing on national TV people who might be material witnesses and so forth. When those coal miners were being rescued and America was glued to the tube, Whoraldo was discussing who could be sued before the first man was brought back to the surface. It sounds like a lot to foist on anyone's shoulders but a substantial proportion of this nation's problems and hang-ups can be laid squarely on the media at large that purvey the garbage they do as "news".

Sometimes youve got to just sit back and let someone look like an idiot.

Greta, O'Reilly and H & C have the job of throwing red meat to their viewers so that Fox News becomes "exciting" to watch. I've watched them long enough to be tired of the formula that drives those three hours. Roger Ailes is a genius. The "journalism" may be yellow but it's MY yellow and there's enough truth coming out of the tube that I have trouble switching to other forms of entertainment.

The woman was suggesting that the JDL would have a motive to do this and prejudice the Hale's sentencing. It's not calling for censorship to ask that a journalist of a legitimate news organization stop the person and say "Where is your proof for that" and upon hearing that the sketches 'look Jewish' call the guest on their idiocy.

i think the guy's statements can stand on their own and pretty much everyone can laugh at him. The guys is discredited by the sheer stupidity of his argument. Kinda like liberals

Why would she be a medium for this sort of thing?

Maybe she wasn't taking him to task because she doesn't want to come home to a dead husband,like the judge.

I assumed they were Jewish ...and the Mr. DOES look Jewish....but can't say for sure.....

you know what realy surprises me?....is that someone here in freeperland hasn't blamed Al Queda and the Islamists for these murders......

back to whether people "look" Jewish or not, I say yes, having grown up in an area with a good number of Jewish people, there are some facial characteristics that stand out a little more ....

Several years ago, I was on MSNBC -- I was a guest with Rep. Ackerman and Hale. I brutally ripped into Hale, he attacked me as a Jew, and MSNBC was upset with me. Didn't ask me back for years. When I got home after that show, my wife said to me, "That man is nuts, and he will kill you if you're not careful." The fact that Van Sustren would give them this kind audience, and then treat one of these scum with kid gloves treatment is disgusting.

I don't watch her too much. There aren't many other good programs on at that time, so I get stuck with her when I want to watch TV at that time. I find her show somewhat boring because I'm a lawyer. I have to listen to lawyers every day at work, so I certainly don't want to listen to them at home.

Murdoch has made most of his money with yellow journalism, although he then moved into more serious publications as well. As I recall, his British tabloids always used to have a nearly naked girl on page 3, or something of the sort.

If that's what it takes to get the circulation to sell more serious news, then I suppose it can't be helped.

That's Greta always trying to be fair and balanced.

I know for an almost certainty that neither the judge nor her family is or ever was Jewish. Certainly she and her husband were active Episcopalians.

BTW, what do you call a third-generation Reform Jew? Answer: An Episcopalian.

I did not see it, obviously, but I'm not sure I agree. Let these guys make fools of themselves. Everyone knows that FoxNews doesn't condone their views.
