Fox News Hosts - Who is the worst?

i'm amazed at the following at places like LGF; a post like 8 minutes old will have 400 some comments on it.

It's the same here (see that Guardian link above - 520 comments - almost all hostile to Michale white and pro-Hannan) - seems like various shades of the Right have the whole Comments pages thing wrapped up.

get the feeling hannan is starting to say stuff with fox news in mind, rather than the uk electorate: http://timesonline.typepad.com/oliver_kamm/2009/04/nhs-a-mistake.html

My father-in-law, who is a staunch republican, announced he has stopped watching Fox News because of Glenn Beck's insanity. The quote: "The more I watched Glenn Beck...the more I realized that maybe Fox News is not really so fair and balanced!"

You have no idea how hard it was not to laugh.

today Rick Sanchez on CNN straight up called out Fox and Glenn Beck in particular for promoting crazy rhetoric eg, Obama is leading us to socialism & destroying America, is going to take everyone's guns away, etc.

he was tweeting about it last night

wkiw rick sanchez

i see.. just checked the twitter. it was fun to watch, though he was def editorializing & not just reporting.

otherwise watched shep who covered the somali pirates story for a solid hour (it was v informative about a whole bunch of different angles to the story)..

followed by cavuto throwing softball questions at guest of honor rush limbaugh & then sputtering his way through a petulant defense of fox news promoting these "tea party" protests. followed by glenn beck going "ARRR" and demanding to know why we were too afraid to confront the pirates & why don't we just send in the marines to kick some ass and make a point.

newtgingrich: I am doing hannity tonight on fox

about 1 hour ago from TwitterBerry

MY EYES MY EYES

hahah saw that & was about to ask one of you guys.. PLEASE someone rt and just comment "TMI"

ana marie cox prob did already? i quit following her b/c she just pissed me off with relentless nonsense that wasn't funny

Rick Sanchez seems an unlikely candidate to call out FOX hosts on their craziness. Sanchez was pretty-much FOX-lite when he was the anchor at Miami's Channel 7 News. But whatevs: Seasons change; people change.

Suddenly the conversation veered into the (apparently real) news that Russian and Chinese spies have hacked into the U.S. electrical grid--Commies in the wall sockets! Perhaps encouraged by how Beck seemed to appreciate his cheerful, neo-Paranoid Style, the Colonel (whose name I unfortunately didn't catch) shared some related intel: "all Chinese restaurants," he said, "are sleeper cells."

Doodz teh Chinese and Russians are going to take us over cos Obama is a communist and they are communists and that is a thing that happens DONT YOU SEEEE??

for the sake of pete that was a wild ride!

Also the whole Obama = slavery meme has been really encouraged by the Fox guys. Did they sleep through middle school history?

What a f----g lunatic.

something hannity has been really fond of during obama's european trip has been this line of thinking where he goes "WE SHOULDN'T BE TRYING TO ENDEAR OURSELVES TO EUROPE! WE SAVED THEM FROM THEMSELVES ONLY 70 YEARS AGO". like okay dude

i wish someone would go on his show and say "sean, shouldn't we be bowing down to france!! remember the revolutionary war?!??? we owe them!!"

CAVUTO: Just a reminder, we are going to be right in the middle of these protests because at FOX we do not pick and choose these rallies and protests. We were there for the Million Man March, even though, as I pointed out, it turned out to be well shy of a million men. We were there for the Iraq War protest, and the protest against the Iraq War protest. So see, we really don't decide what populist causes matter. Just that when a whole lot of people gather, in a whole lot of towns and cities across America, it is indeed worth checking out, not just shutting down. Which is why we are in Sacramento on April 15 for the one of the biggest of these, at 4:00 p.m. Eastern time.

...

Neil Cavuto has been defending FOX News' coverage of the upcoming tax day tea parties by repeatedly suggesting that FOX News gave similar coverage to the Million Man March. But the Million Man March occurred October 16, 1995 whereas FOX News was not operating until October 7, 1996, nearly a year later.

watching studio b. they love reports on cute dogs but this time shep was like, well, this was covered on all the sunday shows, i don't even know why we're talking about it.

anyway, my point here would be: holy shit, judith miller is on talking about this pirate thing. judith miller! credited as "pulitzer prize winning journalist" with no mention of the new york times! i knew she signed on but i never saw her on there until just now.

you know nobody at fox will ever ask her about those WMDs in iraq..

This kid is the number one FOX News Host for 2019

Wha? What?

Oy, that ad.

"ttyih"

you have seen the Fox Nation site right? their answer to HuffPo I suppose?

^^^ these comments have been up for days. i hit the "report" button on the one (3rd one I believe), this morning. still there.

"Why bother? Just because you sit in church doesn't make you a Christian. I can sit in my car all day, and that doesn't make me a car."

lollllllll

wtf

also, this

idiot glenn beck delivering "public service announcement" on how global warming isn't real (many fox hosts are great at this: one snowstorm somewhere in the country = no such thing as global warming)

a tour of the fox studios!

"Then there was the media, specifically the FOX news channel, including Glenn Beck and Sean Hannity. Both are looking forward to an up close and personal taste of teabagging themselves at events this Wednesday."

ROLFL

classic

oh my damnn!

that was an epic round of teabag puns.

dick army... good one

juvenility aside, some v important points made

fox is pretending they're not sponsoring this thing despite promoting it w/tons of segments, commercials, calling them "FNC Tax Day Tea Parties," etc. it's kind of unprecedented for a news organization to promote protests like this & they are (I thought) a news organization first

wondering if the shows who are supposed to be just news will be covering this.. as it deserves. don't let me down, shep!

The comments to that "Obama picks a church" article on the Fox website make me question whether the human race deserves to continue.

granted, every political site on the interwebs that allows comments is full of ugly, horrible stuff but.. imho this rightwing 'we're on the way to communist/fascist/ socialist/totalitarian new world order' + 'obama isn't a christian and will take all your guns' crap.. it's headed down a really dangerous road & fox is promoting it esp with glenn beck.

...and the DHS report has sent these ppl into overdrive
