Fox & Friends Just Lost ME (Vanity)

Me | 11/14/06 | Kieri

[Kieri]

I've been a Fox News viewer from the very beginning, long before Fox & Friends was created. I remember when E.D. first appeared, filling in for Alison Costarini during the morning news. I've watched Steve, E.D., Brian faithfully all these years, and found them a wonderful break from the MSM's morning spew.

I will admit, I miss E.D., but I was willing to given Gretchen the benefit of the doubt at taking her place. Her performance has been lackluster and this morning she just sank the show for me.

How?

Gretchen Carlson went out of her way to correct Steve and Brian that the term "pro abortion" was actually "pro choice."

Nothing like spinning the ugly truth, is there, Gretchen?

I'm done with Fox and Friends. A show I trusted and enjoyed with my AM coffee isn't what it used to be -- TRUSTWORTHY.

I've been a FReeper since 1997 and have never posted a vanity, so I hope my fellow FReepers will understand. I think other Fox viewers should know what's happened to this staple of morning news, one we're finding we can depend on less and less.

Really??? I'd [ick Kirin over Gretchen
any day of the week.

...But Gretchen *is* that type that
gets picked as the winner in contests
like that, and as "top models"..good
bodies, vacant looks, and shit-zu brains.

They never pick the ones i like best.
The winners allways have a sort of
"Stepford" same-ness to them. While
the Latin hottie, or the shortere
than 6' tall coat rack, Italian
babe with a body that won't quit...gets
passed over for some sallow faced
emaciated Amazon with 5' legs and
"passable" faces.

Isn't pro-life also pro-choice?

Pro-choice is a feel-good word for murder.

I agree she is awful and I doubt she'll be around for very long. Brian more than makes up for her silliness.

People always lift their eyebrows when I say, having not had tv in my home since 1997, I believe all the news networks are VERY liberal. They say "Yeah, except for 'right wing' FOX." I say "Baloney. They are just not quite as liberal as some of the others".

This frog is not slowly being boiled alive.

[TET1968]

Your not the only one.

I have no problem being called "anti-abortion". I am anti-abortion. I never asked to be referred to as "pro-life". So I have no issue with the terminology used to describe my stance on it. But if we're really being fair & unbiased, then if I am to be called "pro-life", they should be referred to as "pro-death". "Pro-choice" is such a pretty little term for the murder of the innocents. To call them pro-abortion is being more than fair.

[ClarenceThomasfan]

I don't care for Gretchen either. I started watching the first hour where she wasn't there and Lauren or Allison was there with Brian and Steve.

And then don't you know it - they started putting Gretchen in the first hour too!

Now I just watch TBN and my Andy Griffith DVDS.

[Sue Perkick]

It does. It makes it sound like you're picking out shampoo or perfume. Do I choose this one, or do I choose that one?

[BigSkyFreeper]

Oh, let's see. Rather than discuss you'd rather call names. Sorry, but you're not worth my time.

Discuss what? The fact you're not watching FNC anymore?

[ElPatriota]

Well, because I liked the show (like Fox), I sent them an email to friends@foxnews.com

This may not be the exact email address... But if they get enough emails... they will get the message. Do it.

[ClarenceThomasfan]

Since the election, I have been watching TBN, The Hallmark channel and my vast supply of DVDs. I'll probably do that for the next 2 years.

I refuse to watch the media gloat.

[Sue Perkick]

LOL! It took me a minute. :)

[toddlintown]

Probably passed to her ear piece by a producer. Happens all the time.

[RadioCirca1970]

The minute Steve Doocy starts plugging his meaningless book, or they show some celebrity "news," or they go outside for a Pakistani cooking show.

You nailed it...I can literally feel my IQ points dropping...Kilmeade is a loudmouth...who wants to be a low-rent Regis with the "I'm just a dumb jock' Schtick...and Steve wants to be Mr. Happy..Whatever bimbo they put between them is just a hood ornament on a show going off the road.

They should put 2 or three reasonably smart people on and just do the news...tell me what happened, and forget the Mark Messier on how to 'hip check' segments...no one cares!!!

[mcshot]

XM or internet radio now replaces Fox and Friends and any other MSM news. I refuse to be poisoned or BSed by non conservatives and cannot even look at them. I hope to come out of this cocoon in a couple years but am prepared to stay unless I have to check on radiation levels.

[RadioCirca1970]

I did a double take this morning, to make sure it wasn't Hannity pimping another obvious tome....

[Kieri]

Discuss what? The fact you're not watching FNC anymore?

Don't people read anymore? I'm no longer watching Fox & Friends, not FNC.

If I hear they've replaced Gretchen Carlson, I may reconsider my decision.

"Pro-choice" is such a pretty little term for the murder of the innocents."

All the old timers who read this board should ask themselves, If abortion had been not only legal,but encouraged and funded when you were conceived, would you be here today arguing about politically correct definitions.?
What about your siblings?

If their stance was reversed and the left wingers stood for Pro Life, The New York Times and Time Warner would be displaying graphic front page images that would make the Dachau and Cambodian Killing Fields photos look like a private family burial plot.Instead, since pro life is a conservative cause, the self serving image black out and the politically correct definition continues.

"Pro-choice is a feel-good word for murder."

Pro-choice is an Orwellian word for Anti-choice.

Just like Free Speech... unless your speech disagrees with mine.
