My only comment on that last criticism of Brian Kilmeade is that it regards extremely trivial matters; I do not recall having heard Kilmeade address them and in fact such discourse is quite boring. And for the sake of clarification regarding a more interesting topic—that of political debate—Kilmeade comes across as 100% conservative while Fox News in general is approximately 30-40%.
You may think that my criticism of Brian Kilmeade is trivial, but I find Kilmeade trivial, himself. I watch that show EVERY morning (for as long as I can stand it, that is) and Brian makes comments like that EVERY morning. You must not watch the show often if you can say that you've never heard it.
Just this morning E.D. Hill was comenting on her trip to Memphis over the weekend and she said that "Southerners don't 'get' Kilmeade, especially when he talks about such things as manbags and 'milking a horse'." Brian responded, "Did I say that?" And everyone on the set jumped on him with a resounding "YES".
I had forgotten that exchange, but Brian did say that a few months back. Every show has him making some equally stupid comment. You are right about one thing: such discourse is BORING.
Yes, he may be patriotic. Yes, he may be conservative. But I prefer patriotic & conservative SMART people.
