Just when you thought Fox & Friends Weekend couldn't get any worse . . .
I thought it was bad enough when Juliet Huddy and Mike Jerrick were providing some kind of balance to Julian Phillips blatherings.
It's a sign of just how bad things have gotten, with Juliet and Mike now gone, that Phillips has become something of the voice of reason!
Kiran Chetry and Page Hopkins are sitting in this morning with Phillips, and the trio tried to outdo each other in their PC comments on the French riots.
While the women wrung their hands about how the French yoots have been "disenfranchised," Phillips talked about how the underclasses have historically been mistreated in France "going back to the time of the French revolution!
If there was anything in their discussion about the rioters being Muslims, egged on by radical imams, I missed it.
Then it was on to a discussion of the GOP's fortunes. The screen was filled with shots of Rove and Condi and I am not 100% certain who made the comment, but it seemed that it was Page Hopkins who suggested that since Karl Rove has become such a "lightning rod," it might be a good idea for him to "recuse himself.
"Recuse himself? That is something a judge does when he has a conflict of interest. I'm assuming that Page was suggesting that Rove either resign or take a leave of absence, but who really knows?
Here's where Julian played the voice of reason [!], saying he wasn't sure Rove's 'recusal' was the answer.
What a mess of a show. Has the time has come for Fox News to scrap the weekend edition and start again from scratch?
I'd rather sit and watch the radio . . .
Didnt fox and friends have Michele Malkin Saturday morning.
But .. she's as liberal as they come.
I wish I could recall her name - but if she is liberal as they come - I wasnt aware of it. The little I have seen of her, she seemed fairly intelligent and offered little opinions.
Yeah, Michelle Malkin was on yesterday morning. I didnt get to hear enough of her.
Yikes, I'm glad I missed it. Like some others here, I saw Michelle Malkin on there yesterday morning but didn't hear her speak either. They don't call it Faux News for nothing! When they are not doing entertainment/hurricane/focus on one victim for months/anything to distract us from the truth, they are acting like mouthpieces for the White House, or being just as bad as the rest of MSM with their PCness.
And I'm most grateful for your threads! Thanks and, don't stop.
I like Billy Currington. After all, he is building a log cabin for his "conserative"grandmother. Being from the south I like the interviews with the country stars.
You got that right, BQ!
Only one expression can adequately describe this video POS - "Thses guys blow!"
I thought she was conservative because she played the piano on a weekend program with Cal Thomas. However, I've seen her make comments that definitely put her in the liberal column.
And let me clarify "mouthpieces." I like going to a place that sometimes is not as far out left wing as all the other channels. BUT, too often, all they do is parrot WH press releases instead of giving us more in depth news. A lot of the guests (Malkin, Coulter) will question socialist policies, but the regular hosts (e.g. Beltway Boys) are a tad too in line.
Love Brian's inappropriate comments and the reactions from the others on the team. Weekend show is very weak.
The only one worth listening to is Brit Hume....for precisely that reason. (And it's fun to watch him slap down Juan Williams).
Right....Brian's outrage, at the appropriate times, is genuine.....he speaks his mind, and it's often on the side of common sense and truth. He's also got a quick wit and great sense of humor.
The thought that he had seen Le Mis one too many times occurred to me also!
Until about a year ago, Fox News was on my television all day every day. Now I try to catch Special Report with Brit Hume, Fox News Sunday, and that's about it. There are a few good conservative hosts, like David Asman, but I've lost track of when he's on because I've simply lost interest in Fox News.
I used to tolerate the tabloidy side of FNC and the horrendous graphics and sound effects, but their leftward drift has made it all unbearable to me.
They always acted as though they believed their appeal to be the bold graphics, which their competitors have tried to copy. I always believed their audience was with them in spite of the awful graphics.
How I wish there was at least one serious, honest, news source that would report facts and lay off speculation, gossip, rumors, innuendo, political talking points, etc. Just tell me what happened and let me come to my own conclusions without your help, Fox News, thank you very much.
My observations suggest that you are wrong about Kilmeade. We know the contemporary news culture is woven by a common blindfold obstructing any useful view of reality. Thus, Kilmeades ability to visualize the real world places him in a category closer to genius. Lets compare various news personalities. Upon which whom, between Kilmeade and Rather, does the name Idiot fall?
E. D. Hill appears to be equally smart and courageous. Shes not hard to look at either.
Brit is awesome and truly for the people; can't stand Juan -I have to flip the channel.
unpredictable.
