He wanted a juice box too.

Is it just me, or is Hot Air acting more like HuffPo these days?

[Ann Archy]

Fox is SO LIBERAL it is UNWATCHABLE!!!!!

[TexasCajun]

Two unnamed Democrats reportedly told the newspaper about the call, described as a “private conversation.”

Just another approved leak from Barack O'Blame-O.

a very loud whistle works with freak callers

If the mere thought of an angry Jay Carney doesn't send shivers down your spine, nothing will.

[RightOnline]

Yeah, well......bet Carney sends love notes to MSNBC, on the other hand.

Whiny little prick.

[ClearCase_guy]

the video had crossed the line

Translation: it was insufficiently hagiographic.

I believe the “new ethical line” that was “crossed” is called the TRUTH.

I can see why they are so horrified...welcome to our world Jay C-we live with the truth everyday...

[Jim Scott]

A Fox News VP submissively caving to crying and moaning from the Obama mouthpiece (Carney) is discouraging and sets a poor precedent. If the video was based on facts - Obama's own words as recorded on video - and compared to what he says and does, today, it is hardly 'crossing an ethical line'. That the video was run on the morning 'news' show - which contains tons of 'fluff' - is hardly relevant. It probably received more views that way (compared to being run on, say, Hannity).

This election is going to be tough and if Fox News is going to cut and run the first time some Obama lackey whines, it's going to be a lot tougher. Although Fox News is hardly a conservative outlet it's the sole cable TV outlet (with any audience) for Republicans and a conservative POV. They have to man up when Jay Carney or any other Obama stooge makes noise or they are going to be seen as little more than yet another echo chamber for Obama, and the American media has enough of those, thank you.

So FOX news is letting Jay Carney and media matters decide their content now? Maybe the “FOX is liberal” types here on FR have a point.

Is Jay Carney related to Harry Reid?
I see a lot of resemblance especially in attitude.

If the mere thought of an angry Jay Carney doesn't send shivers down your spine, nothing will.

Sure.

The video gave Carney a Pucker Factor of about 10.

Carney is the guy in highschool you find hanging in the locker room by his underwear.

[Batman11]

My response to that little twerp would be: “FU junior, I will broadcast whatever I want, whenever I want. If you don’t like it, come on over and make me take it off the air.”

"If the mere thought of an angry Jay Carney doesn't send shivers down your spine, nothing will."

No doubt. That is one fearsome dude. I've known grown men who'd rather rip their own heads off than face an angry Jay Carney. True story...
