Jerry Springer Gives Fox & Friends An Earful About Fox News Bias

Posted by Ellen -391.20pc on January 18, 2012 · Flag

Jerry Springer visited Fox & Friends this morning, ostensibly to discuss the “liberal slant” of Newsweek for its cover story by Andrew Sullivan calling President Obama’s critics “dumb.” But he didn’t pussy foot around calling out the hypocrisy of Fox News accusing anyone else of bias. He obviously touched a nerve belonging to Gretchen Carlson. Go, Jerry!

If you’d like to send Springer some props, you can Tweet him @JerrySpringer.

Frank, what’s MSLSD? Is that a drug? Because drug talk is bad.

I can hear the Delta House denizens sitting in the room coughing “BULLSHIT” a Gretchen. “I’m in the middle”…really? “Fair and balanced..” Really?

When will Fox Newspeak admit that their news coverage is slanted? The opinion side is there, it is obvious. But objective journalism on the “news” side? Not.

Eyewitless News.
Long live Ron Powers.

Gretchen is about as independent as a hemorroid is independent from one’s arse!

I hope some of you read the Sullivan article. It is wonderfully balanced and less agressive than the cover title. Since the original discussion on Meghan Kelly’s program, Fox has not invited him to appear, a fact which he has posted numerous times, challenging them to invite him. His thoughts today:

“They have a deep conflict of interest in covering or discussing her. And so, in the world of Kelly, actual journalism is never asking very difficult questions of a candidate you might eventually employ (which includes most Republicans who have ever run for national office or any Democrats who hate Obama). It is demonizing other journalists asking for easily available evidence, and then smearing that journalist and lying about his work on air without inviting him on to discuss his own arguments or allowing him a right to reply. Also: actual journalism according to Kelly means never correcting factual errors.

“Ask yourself: there’s a controversial cover-essay in Newsweek. The writer (me) is prepared to come on and debate it. Why would Fox not even consider it? I’ve been on Hardball and tonight I’ll be on Anderson Cooper’s show. But Fox brings on two hired guns to talk about my piece, and actually blur out my name on the screen for some reason (either to make sure I remain air-brushed out of reality, or to deceive people that Newsweek is somehow institutionally making the point of my essay).

Did Gretchen #2 refer to NewsWeek as a ‘Fledgling’ magazine?! LOL!

It is an OPINION article, you Fox gNOpig Propaganda morans.

Even the so called “news” segments on Fox are laced with wingnutry, and they want to talk about bias?

JERRY! JERRY! JERRY!

Sorry, I had to… and you knew someone was going to. But this time he earned it.

I don’t have enough time or energy to type out everything I have to say about Carlson’s load, but she knows Springer owned her.And that every media watchdog who follows her is preparing a list of examples.

I’ve always felt that when Gretchen (and Doocy and what’s his name) has this type of interviews she is not just getting direction from her producer in her earpiece, but advice on how to answer whenever a guest puts her in an uncomfortable spot. Usually there always seems to be a delay with their replies.

Gretchen stepped in it, pulled it out and sniffed, and step[ped in it again, this time barefoot so she could wiggle her toes in it.

Gretchen Carlson considers herself to be in the center?
That’s why she sits in the middle?

So Doocy is on the left and Kilmeade is on the right, or vice-versa?
That is a very weird bizarro world.

ps.
Well done, Jerry!

How bad is it when Jerry Springer is the classiest person on the curvy couch?
In any case….nice work, Jerry!
