FoxNews? "Fair and Balanced" Not on the weekends!

Posted on 02/15/2004 12:19:31 PM PST by ConservativeMan55

The coverage this weekend of the President's Nascar trip has been the worst coverage I've seen on Fox in a long long time. Greg Jarrett keeps asking each correspondent if they "know anything" about Nascar.

James Rosen responded by comparing Nascar to Water Polo. Jarrett then turned to Catherine Herridge and asked her if she knew anything about Nascar. "Its not my speciality." She snidely remarked back to him.

"Well the President isn't there to watch a bunch of cars run around in a circle." Jarrett remarked. "He's obviously trying to get the Nascar Dads vote."

Jarrett continually made references to the possibility that the President is scared that John Kerry was going to take the Nascar Dads vote away from him.

I don't know who in the hell runs Foxnews on the weekend, but it sure as hell ain't the same people that run it during the week. The only bright spot is Brian Wilson on Sunday afternoons. I am glad they put him in there instead of Chris Wallace.

Julian Phillips should be fired. I finally just quit sending e-mails, and quit watching altogether. Its almost a completely different network on the weekends.

Somebody got smart and removed Pat Sajaks show. Ollie's war stories show has been moved exclusively to Sunday nights in order to make way for Rita's trash.

Geraldo is watchable..especially since he's in Iraq and he showcases US Troops.

Anybody else notice the awful crap they've been putting on the weekends. Aside from Brian Wilson and John Kasich. They are the only bright spots.

A couple of years ago I would watch FOX almost exclusively. I can hardly take it now. Between the lightweight 'journalists' That present the news as if it is some kind of sporting event and the raspy washed up bimbos that breathlessly talk of the peterson case and other s that I couldn't care less about, I'd rather watch COPS or turn the tube off

O'Reilly only talks about how every story applies to him in some way, get over yourself.....Hannity and Colmes is unwatchable, They ask a 40 second question, then as soon as the guest talks, they start interrupting them......Chris Wallace is a doof......Julian Phillips is totally out of place........I actually like watching Juan and Mara make fools of themselves.......Kiran Chetry is a goddess........

When Tony Snow had the Sunday program, he would often have Brit beside him to question a guest. It didn't diminish Snow's role--- it simply brought in questioning from 2 views.

Wallace hogs the show

I heard him say that the purpose of this trip was to draw attention away from Bush's service record with the National Guard, a subject which Bush, himself brought up.

James Rosen, huh? I was wondering who that idiot was? I heard him make that totally partisan remark and steamed.....remembering all the trips clinton made at OUR expense.http://www.worldmag.com/world/issue/01-20-01/international_1.asp

You're a hero in my book. The same thoughts have been wanderin around in my mind.
My name is John Doe and I'm a tv news junkie.
But the very thing that makes me a junkie is about to cure me of it.

Fox News is no longer a "safe-harbor" for conservatives.

It never was and never claimed to be. It promised "fair and balanced" news. That means it tries to present both sides of issues in contrast to most mainstream media that present only the Left side.

I agree! I thought I was the only one who noticed it. Fox appears to be leaving its balanced path and becoming more like CNN. Can see it in O'Reilly,too.

Every president campaigns in the sports world in a re-election year. Reagan went to the '84 Daytona 500. Klintoon milked the Atlanta '96 games for all they were worth. For Bush, NASCAR is his 'Hollywood'.

Just imagine the chaos that would be created if every conservative in the country would not only stop watching the cable news networks but would go even further and cancel their cable subscriptions.

Letter writing, e-mails and phone calls just won't do it. The liberal media will only listen when we finally decide to tune out of their TV empires and stop reading and advertising in their newspapers. We should only support those that support us.

I doubt it. 130 horsepower, hydrogen powered emissions choked cars screaming around Daytona at the blistering speed of 55 miles per hour.
