For what it's worth, knowing my "love" for Julian Phillips, my mom sent me info on this thread *and* after reading all of the messages thus far, after all these years, this topic was my incentive to register to be able to post messages. (Before, I figured I have enough distractions....)

I am a Fox News JUNKIE; however, I no longer watch the weekend edition of Fox & Friends; I stopped doing so weeks ago. When I'm tempted to sample the channel because I need my fix, if "DESERVES NO TITLE OF RESPECT Phillips" is on, I change the channel. (booktv is on cspan2 on weekends, so I have that option.)

In my case, I can tolerate differences of opinion. My objection to Phillips is the friction that he causes on that show and his inability to present his beliefs in an articulate manner.

When the WMD capabilities are proven, let's make sure this idiot and all his fellow carpers are made to account. "You said this was the whole reason for going there (it wasn't). Now that they've been proven, isn't the war totally justified?, A-hole?

Welcome to FR, Fawnn. You have made one of my points. People tune in to what they want to hear and, alternatively, tune out to what they find "offensive." People seek to listen to views they share. I don't watch much, either, on the weekends, because of Julian---he's typical, in my opinion, of all liberals: they almost always display an "inability to present [their] beliefs in an articulate manner." However, liberals will listen to other liberals. There are usually two other conservatives on with Julian, who don't agree with him. So, while the libs tune in (and us conservatives tune out) on the weekend, they're listening to refutations made in a fairly articulate manner (on the other hand, the weekend crew is not a shining star of articulation). Perhaps the remedy would be to have stronger, more articulate weekend hosts for Fox and Friends.
