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.

With no skirts, they would have no audience.

They have left wing TV on 6 stations, we have one "fair and balanced" station. When will we get a conservative station - is this asking too much?

I like pro choice.

As long as it relates to everyone.

Especially the baby in the womb.

Let he or she make the decision.

May have to wait until the age of reason, but what the heck.

Let the abortionists try to kill 6 or 7 year olds, there may be outrage. At least from moral people.

It seems to me that if two words can make you change your routine then you are far to easily influenced.

Yep, E.D. Hill was a bright light on that show. Why did Fox fire/demote her ? Too conservative ?

You have a point.

I watch it once in a while and someone told me that there are a couple of guys on each side of the woman in the middle. Funny what you don't notice.

Thanks for posting your vanity . We don't have TV, so posts like this keep me informed. Pro-choice sure has little meaning for the infant. What ever happened to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness? Brit is about the only reason left to watch Fox.

Page Hopkins would be a better choice.

They're pro-CHOICE?

Oh ok, so they support a woman being able to choose which school her child attends and have her tax dollars directed as tuition! Excellent, I support that sort of choice as well and...oh, they don't support THAT choice.

Uh ok, maybe they support a woman being able to choose to conceal carry a handgun for protection and...oh, not THAT choice either. Hmmm.

Perhaps they support allowing a woman to choose to personally manage her Social Security retirement funds and...not THAT choice either?

So what choices do they support?

Oh, abortion is all, huh?

Pro-choice my eye!

"How sweet is cable news!"--think some:
Others--"How blest the new media so brave!"
Ah, log on to FR and waive the rest;
Oh, the mindless noise of a blonde news babe!

Being a Fox has it's advantages.

Gretchen has sucked the energy out of the show ... I've stopped watching as well.

"It is TV"

TV is a major reason why the dems were able to win the election, don't underestimate it.

You have GOT to be kidding me.

Gretchen's pointed remark is indicative of what can be expected from her. She's still fairly new to F&F but not Fox News. It was HER decision to "correct" Brian and Steve. It sounded rude and it would have better if she'd just let it slide.I watch a channel for ten years and I'm easily swayed? ROFL :snort:

Out of habit, I put F 'n' F on. The minute Steve Doocy starts plugging his meaningless book, or they show some celebrity "news," or they go outside for a Pakistani cooking show, I go to the History Channel.

Why not "pro-death"? That seems more accurate.
