Mayhem at Fox News

Stolen from HuffPo:

Fox News' very own anchors are speaking out — and walking off — over what they perceive to be "Obama-bashing" on their network.

This morning on "Fox and Friends," Brian Kilmeade walked off the set after a dispute with his co-hosts Gretchen Carlson (she who celebrates deadly floods) and Steve Doocy over Obama's comment that his grandmother is a "typical white person." Kilmeade argued that the remark needed to be taken in context and eventually got so fed up with his co-hosts that he walked off set.

Later, "Fox News Sunday" host Chris Wallace came on the show and railed against "Fox and Friends" for what he called "Obama-bashing."
I just want to bitchslap those two assclowns at the end of the first clip. --

Thanks, Maru, for the Internet visits to -- & subsequent reports from -- 'the Dark Side' of our communications culture. I can barely stand to read about these Faux Noise assholes, much less watch ANY of them - - it's just too fucking aggravating to realize that our supposedly advanced culture has a significant proportion of followers of their regressive politics. It sometimes seems like it's 450 AD and the Dark Ages are slowly descending upon us, with Fox, fundamentalists, & the Neo-cons gleefully ushering it in...

I'm a bit confused. In the one clip Wallace takes FOX to task for Obama bashing. But, in another clip it's as if he's taking Hillary to task for Bill saying that FOX was doing a "hit job" on him.......hit job being another word for bashing.
I think Wallace owes Bill and Hillary an apology since now it appears he does agree that FOX does bashing regularly.

Only On Fox News could a couple of people act like that and not face ant backlash for their actions from their superiors. I love how they just kept laughing, because yeah, it really is all a joke.
