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.

I think I'll have the TV off (in regard to "news" anyway) until the election is over. Can't go through another year like 2000 again and this will be worse. Fox is trying so hard to be fair and balanced they lost some of their perspective, it seems. They all like to gush over "war hero" Kerry and few really question the validity of the National Guard travesty. O'Reilly went along with it until he was challenged a few days ago, then said he didn't believe he was AWOL. The problem is so many of them are just wimps, no guts like Gibson, Cavuto and Brit Hume!

Greg Jarrett is one of the worst. He pounds on conservatives and gives the opposition plenty of leeway to spew their garbage.
Rita is my clue to change the channel. I can't stand her mouth and her 'inside sources' anymore.

Considering the fact that I tick off the "bots" on every forum where I'm a member, I really could care less. Of course, most of the forums I'm a member of are about as bad as DU.

I hope Fox News has someone later today to challenge Charlie Rangle's stupid and inane rant on Bush's records. But, I'm not holding my breath. . .

Then James Rosen made comments to the effect that this trip was funded by the American taxpayer.It was.
He made no mention of the overseas trips, parties, drugs, murder, women, that we paid for during the eight years of the Clinton administration.
Was he a sitting newsman with Fox during those eight years? If not, why would he bring it up now?

I noticed this too. Yesterday was terrible. Jarrett was interrupting left and right and came off as really nasty during the interview segments of his show.

I'm Fox deprived here, no cable, but the local affiliate carries Fox News Sunday. Since Wallace took over it's no better than the other Sunday talking head shows. Last week I even skipped it because it conflicted with the President's interview on SpudMan's show. Would rather have watched FNS with Tony Snow than either.

I've actually written emails and phoned Fox this afternoon in reference to their "interview" of John Loftus who told of a great republican scandal brewing. Turns out the guy makes Michael Moore look conservative. He's a total conspiracy fool who wrote a Bush Family Nazi ties hit piece a few months ago. The anchor gave this guy credibility and weight. Loftus tried years to peddle his scandal story.
He finally got Fox Weekend to air it.
That said, the James Rosen comments about Water Polo are not how it happened. Brian Wilson asked the New Yorker if he knew anything about NASCAR. Rosen said he knew how to spell it. He then went on to say that just to show the listeners he wasn't a complete snob he also knew nothing of water polo. He wans't dissing NASCAR at all.

Juan said something like that this morning, 2 point something million jobs lost -- and not a word about the new self-employed sector, or which my son-in-law is a promising new mimeber. Go away, Juan.

Fox has switched and now becomes a pro-demonRAT network. Nothing different in watching Fox now since they switched sides. I've already sworn off watching Bill O'Reilly. Guess I'm going to have to include the whole network. Where's any conservative networks? Or is that an oxymoron?
