Fox & Friends - your thoughts?

[BabyMatty4Block]

I remember Al Franken once referring to the show as being a "thin veneer" of morning friendliness "covering the dark underbelly of Fox's politics". I like that line.

I've never seen a cable news program be so unabashedly biased. They react to unpositive critiques of McCain the way i reacted to "yo' mama" jokes in middle school.

Check this clip out of progressive radio host Ed Schultz taking his mic off and leaving, after being repeatedly interrupted by his conservative counterpart who's utter nonsense he just politely sat through...

i think morning joe is pretty decent, but I don't watch either. fox & friends is geared to a specific market, and you're just not within that scope. kilmeade is a decent host but that doocy guy acts like such a woman.

I don't know why progressive figures continue to treat Fox like it's a legitimate news source that is interested in hearing both sides of a story. On the one hand, I totally sympathize with Schultz, especially because this is hardly the first time he's butted heads with Fox. On the other hand, what exactly did he think was going to happen? Fox has progressives on its programming for the sole purpose of making a big production of dressing them down. For evidence of this at work, watch any episode, at random, of HANNITY & colmes.

Fool me once, shame on you.
Fool me twice, shame on me.
Fool me over and over and over again by tricking me into thinking you actually want to have me on to be anything other than a rented mule you smack around? That's just silly.

That's true, but I think in Big Eddie's case, he feels the facts are on his side and is basically too proud to refuse an invitation. He doesn't want to leave himself open to being called chicken to face the tough questions or whatev. O'Reilly pulls that shit all the time.

When news breaks on Fox...

It stays broken.
