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.

Fox has become "CNN Lite" in the last few months.

Then James Rosen made comments to the effect that this trip was funded by the American taxpayer.
He made no mention of the overseas trips, parties, drugs, murder, women, that we paid for during the eight years of the Clinton administration.

It has gotten bad. There are a few bright spots, but the entire thing has really gone down the toilet.

BTTT!!!
During the week it doesn't seem so bad. In fact...Cavuto and Hume have been at the top of their game.

FNC has gotten bad.
With respect to the NASCAR thing, remember that all of these reporters think the entire world exists only between Boston and Washington DC.

I don't pay too much attention to it during the day on the weekends, it's on in the background unless there is some kind of ball game on and hubby is home - or my daughter decides it's her turn to watch my TV. though today I do have the race on.
But I do watch it in the evening....6:30 on Saturday is sacrosanct for Fox News Watch...dinner and dishes are either done before 6:30 or dinner isn't until after 7.

I'll agree with that. They don't even drive cars up there.

"He's obviously trying to get the Nascar Dads vote."You may not like Fox News weekend edition, but this is a general election year and the President is campaign mode, trying his best to get reelected. The above statement is absolutely true.

I usually watch After Hours with Cal Thomas, the Beltway Boys, and Fox News Watch. I never watch Rita.

The NASCAR audience was also characterized as white, male, and Republican and it was intimated that this had something to do with why the President was there.

Greg Jarrett is a light in the loafers hack and the emblem of FNC being in retreat. FNC is appeasing the Left while the alphabet soup of Leftwing bias is charging ahead unopposed. Great!!! Why don't they just hire Al Franken and Garofalo and be done with it?

I agree with you completely. I have noticed this trend now for several months, but it continues to become more biased the closer we get to November. Keep emailing them with complaints. It may not help, but it beats smashing the tube.

Saturday morning FOX is great-if one enjoys business shows. Cavuto, Forbes, Cashin' In, etc. Ollie North's show is one of the best,IMO.

Whew what a relief. I thought I was the only one being disappointed in Fox lately. I have tuned out most of the stuff but you are right in that Brit and Cavuto are great. Get rid of Rita and her sources, keep Geraldo in (some where far away) and get rid of 75% of the weekend trash!
Just my 2¢

"Fox has become "CNN Lite" in the last few months."
Even though I agree with you, that will po the bots to no end. You've violated Rule #1...don't tick off the bots.
