Newt Gingrich to Fox & Friends: ‘You Ought to Have Some Sense of Balance’

Newt Gingrich‘s love affair with the media continues. This morning during an appearance on “Fox & Friends” Gingrich didn’t think the anchors were being either fair or balanced, saying to Dave Briggs: “Romney’s released zero and you’re asking me to take seriously a challenge about openness from Romney? Come on, even in the news media you should have some sense of balance. Isn’t fair and balanced part of the Fox News mantra?” said the former Fox News political analyst.

““Romney’s released zero and you’re asking me to take seriously a challenge about openness from Romney?”

I love his approach. He mocks ridiculous questions and calls the questioner on it. He points out very directly their hypocrisy.

Go get ‘em, Newt!

[for-q-clinton]

Even if he looks like a keebler elf he makes everyone else look dumb when he speaks.

Newt is not following their script.

It's just not fair.

</sarcasm

FOX"News"' Prime Romney-Pimp:
"Balance? We at FOX have already decided the winner of
the upcoming election. Yes, indeedy.
So don't forget to bet $10,000 that FOX's
chosen winner will remain, my love, Mitt Romney
whom we will call "frontrunner"
… even when you laugh knowing
it is obviously not true."

"Fox and Friends" is one of the lamest programs on television. The weekend crew is even worse than the so-called "A" team.

Kilmeade has a radio program on Sirius/XM that I listen to occasionally. He is one of the biggest Romney-bots out there.

They throw Mittens softballs but everyone else they openly ridicule.

Thanks for posting that video.

Alisyn Camerota - YUMMY!

Hadn’t seen her in a long time.

I love his approach too...we have been accepting the premises of liberal questions at least since 1960...AT LAST, we have someone who will stand up to these thugs by “helping” them rephrase their questions...or reexamine their thinking.

Go Newt!

[DallasSun]

Fox has no sense of balance whatsoever hence I and many others stopped watching Fox years ago.

[Parley Baer]

Right on Newt. Let’s see if Fox news asks for Obama records to be opened this time around. Or are they going to stay covered up in their Foxhole and shy away from challenging Obama?

[C. Edmund Wright]

Fox and Friends versus Newt? Are you kidding me?

I am pretty sure, giving the F&F crowd the chance to add up all of their IQs that they fall woefully short against most folks, and certainly they are no match for Newt.

FOX have become pathetic. They're been pushing Romney since the get go. Hannity a phony who said he was for the military bit ignores us when he comes to don't ask, never talks about conservatives social issues but likes to say how he was to be come a priest , likes to brag about his few young days as a blue collar worker and only was for a short time and now is an elitist establishment propaganda talker for the GOP. OR ARF Megyn kely brings in a shrink to attack him and insult him and all because he wrote an article which stated kids would be harmed mentally seeing cross dressing etc There are only a couple of them now at FOX like Eric Bolling , Doocy who are worth hearing. Obviously liberal Kelly loves the cross dressing homosexuals etc and she had stated a few times she has friends who are but in the normal world which is outside of FOX, NY city and the MSM it is not normal to mutilate ones self Now FOX has hired a homosexual woman right from the Soros media matters and is an activist for cross dressing and homosexuals FOX can piss off

...AT LAST, we have someone who will stand up to these thugs by “helping” them rephrase their questions...or reexamine their thinking.

That can be said for more than just the MSM....

We have the chance at having a leader!

[presently no screen name]

It’s not so much what they asked him but their contempt for him was visible. I suggest some acting classes for the fair and balance crew.

Fox’s bias towards Romney became very clear a few months ago. They ALL poo-poo Ron Paul like he’s a joke, were completely disrespectful to Perry, Bachmann and Pawlenty.
They seem to tolerate Santorum...barely.

Newt commands respect every single time he speaks.. and NOW that he’s kicking some ass...they’re having to take him seriously. ALL the hosts seem to be riding the Romney train. IMHO, Ann Coulter was the first Fox News contributor to catch Romney fever and then spread the disease. (spit, gag, puke)

Go NEWT! Show them wrong and when you win MAKE THEM PAY!!!
hahahahahaha!
