Fox & Friends Just Lost ME (Vanity)
Me | 11/14/06 | Kieri

Posted on 11/14/2006 4:18:21 AM PST by 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.

Six in one hand, half a dozen in the other.

As long as we are piling on vanity, I just came back from the gym where CNN and Fox were on side by side. As I listened to Fox I noticed that about every two minutes there was a picture of Hillary on CNN. It seemed to be different stories each time, health care, taxes, you name it but it was always Hillary all the time...

Isn't pro-life also pro-choice?

What is the difference between the two?

just like when Saddam was sentenced to hang, CNN treated it as if he got a traffic ticket.

What is the difference between the two?The world.

One is truth, the other is spin.

The context left no room for argument.

That, actually, is an agreement (widely held and respected) between both the supporters of abortion as well as its opponents--as well as the media--regarding how each side will refer to the other.

What's the deal with the women of that show? Are they forced to wear high skirts all the time? If I want to see chicken legs, I'll visit my local KFC. Try some slacks for once!

I think you erred in expecting quality.

The difference is, for the baby, pro-arbortion means NO choice.

Oh? I've never heard of the media refer to pro-lifers as "pro-life." They're always "anti-abortion." Pro-aborts, however, are always pro-choice. Unless you're NARAL, then pro-lifers are "anti-choice."

Control the meaning of words, control the argument.

She's probably murdered a few fetuses herself. Many women who are soft on child murder have (literal) baby skeletons in their closets.

I think Gretchen is rather plain looking. I have more hots for Julie Banderas, Reena Ninan, and Molly Line.

Pro-choice implies the baby gets a choice.

Fox needs competition.

All the other media are so far left, they're the only balanced game in town.

As such, sometimes they don't try very hard. CNN regularly scoops them on breaking news, and their evening lineup is utterly devoid of any news at all.

I wish ABC would get serious about things, and take them on for the balanced market. They really need to be challenged a bit more.
