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.
ouch!
"So is choosing not to have one."
And being prego, she has chosen not, to have one. ;-)
No-brainer, to me.
Pro-choice = Pro-abortion = Pro-murder.
Depending on one's viewpoint of where life begins, the "pro-murder" part could be argued with. On the other hand, the term "pro-choice" is a deceptive, "prettier" way of describing the viewpoints of people who are in favor of abortion.
I don't think it's incorrect to call "pro-choice" people "pro-abortion" - unless you're playing Clintonesque wordgames with definitions, and ignoring what the term actually means.
Personally, I've stopped watching F&F as well. I wouldn't blame this on Gretchen, however - in fact, I've stopped watching FNC entirely since the election.
Our cable company doesn't carry the Hallmark Channel. Do they have good shows?
DITTO
And I'm sure her baby will thank her someday. Unlike the multitude of slaughtered ones who were never given much of a choice.
If I were doing the news, I would say pro-abortion or anti-abortion.
While no words are perfect, as those terms would be biased against the abortion side, it is fairer than saying pro-choice v. pro-life.
Both of those are very charged words.
I don't even want to hear the news since the election. I discovered a show called "What Not to Wear" on TLC Friday nights. Also, the Travel channel has good traveling shows of Europe on Thursday nights.
NO! That can't be!
Just about everybody who calls himself "pro choice" is pro abortion -- at least as it pertains to politics.
So what did Steve and Brian say?
The Lifetime Channel has too many women suffering, otherwise I watch everything you do. Plus, I like to see people buying houses on HGTV. A good relaxer is "Murder She Wrote." Anything to avoid the news right now...
They're not even the same thing. There ARE at least some people out there who are genuinely pro-choice, wrong as they are... but those who use the term in politics are almost always actually pro-abortion.
Unfortunately it is true. I could not believe my ears
If I remember correctly, O'Reilly once had Krugman on and gave him a hard time.
The addition of Gretchen to Fox and Friends has been a train wreck. She just does not fit well with Steve and Brian. She seems like a nice woman but if they want to replace E.D. with a great personality, bring back Juliet Huddy.
By using the expression “pro choice” they make it sound so much more innocuous than it is. It’s easier to hide behind. They should call it what it is.
It's possible he had him on once. I just don't remember. Perhaps it was before our cable company added FNC in October 2000
Most of us realized a long time ago that that show sucked.
E.D. used to try to keep Steve and Brian under control. Their sillines is boring.
