Whats going on at Foxnews?
I've been watching Foxnews on and off all day as always and am noticing quite an anti-war sentiment coming from many of the guests they have had on.
It seems to me that Fox is subtly pumping anti-war rhetoric over the air waves. It isn't really coming as much from the hosts as much as the guests that they are putting on.
First we had Greg Jarret (unabashed liberal) interviewing a former U.N. Weapons Inspector about the costs of the war. He asked how long it was going to take, and started insinuating we were going to end up fighting North Korea, the terrorists, and Iraq all at the same time. Both agreed that we should just negotiate with everybody, and sing Kumbayah.
Then on John Gibson's show we had Col Hackworth who has lost his mind. Good old Hack was suggesting that we should try and negotiate with Saddam and North Korea. Only problem with that Hack is that you can't negotiate with maniacs. They're going to attempt to kill you no matter what. The question we have to ask ourselves right now is do we put our hand up to block Saddam and Kim's punch before it hits us in the face?
Then John Gibson fills in for O'Reilly and Charlie Wrangel is on suggesting that we bring back the draft. Gibson rightly suggests that Wrangel is only doing this to try and stir up more anti-war rhetoric. Wrangel doens't deny it but dances around and finally admits it.
Then we have Hannity and Colmes. Sean is off tonight and Monica Crowley is filling in for Sean. Alan seems to be getting a lot more time than Monica to shoot his mouth off.
First we get a debate between first guest Mike Reagan and Alan. Alan points out an internal White House memo that was leaked that says "The War on Terror is important in 2004"
Alan claims the Republicans are polictizing the war. Mike asks if the Democrats do any different. Mike brings up Clinton bombing the tents during the Monica Lewinsky hearings. Alan mentions the article about how Rumsfeld gave Saddam WMD in the 1980's.
Then Michele Malkin and Alan and Monica and a New York City Congressman debate the INS and borders, and Alan turns it into a conservation about Iraq and how we shouldn't be distracted. All four end up in agreement that we shouldn't be going to war overseas before the border situation is resolved.
Fox seems to be pumping that anti-war bandwagon.

At least Colmes wants to defend our borders, which is more than can be said for most of the Republican or Rat elite.

I am tired of the talking and want to see some action. It is critical that we destroy N. Korea's ability to start up it's plutonium production now, this week, before Friday.

Once it is up and going, we can't blow it up, it will contaminate the area for miles for about 30,000 years. It has to be this week, no later than next Wed., they need to pencil it in as a must do.

"they need to pencil it in as a must do."

They had dadgone better wear a green eyeshade whilst they do the penciling, don't you think?

[Capt_Hank]

I guess he was in the "Geraldo Rivera Apprentice Program". I switch to the weather channel when Jarrett comes on.

[MissAmericanPie]

It is not something that can be negotiated two weeks down the road when it's up and running. We need to do to Korea what the Isrealies did to Saddams nuclear plans, kaboom, before they are given a delivery system by China.

** I was flipping channels and Larry King had a monkey on.**

Oh gawd. lol. He is soooo bad.

I think Jim Angle worked for PBS, not NPR. However, I could be mistaken.

[fastdraw1]

It may be phony, but it recalls how Dan Rather got noticed nationally in the 60's, by pulling a cow out of the mud after a rainstorm. On camera, of course.

Now would Dan try to save a U.S. Marine from an Al-Qaeda cutthroat? Ah, a much more complicated question!

John Gibson is who you are thinking of. John is a great interviewer I agree.

Thanks. I will remember it now. And yes, he is a great interviewer. He sounds real, he does not seem like he is trying to perform, I feel like I am watching a real conversation. Thanks again :)

[ottersnot]

John Gibson (MY Word show at 6Pm) was beating the
war drums last night so it's not all shrill liberal rhetoric.

[billhilly]

Grandpa, what have they done to you?

[billhilly]

Damn, your kaboom just says it all. And you said it in the most interesting fashion. #%^) Good on you mate.

[my right]

FOX is trying to be fair and balanced....I hate fair and balanced.

I wrote Fox some time back and told them if they took a hard right and became the first conservative news outlet that they would blow the competition out of the water. I honestly believe that.
