Fox Philadelphia anchor suspended for saying Conway 'good at bullshit'

[kpete]

A Philadelphia television morning show host was suspended Thursday after saying President Trump senior adviser Kellyanne Conway was "good at bullshit."

The reprimand came after Fox 29's "Good Day Philadelphia" co-host Alex Holley asked Mike Jerrick and two guests on set what Conway meant when she said "alternative facts" earlier in the week.

"It means she's good at bullshit," replied Jerrick, who has been on television for more than 30 years.
…
Jerrick did not appear on "Good Day" on Wednesday or Thursday morning before it was reported by Philadelphia magazine later Thursday that Jerrick, 67, had been suspended from the show for an indefinite period, citing the host. Jerrick confirmed the suspension to the magazine.

Fox Television Stations said in a statement that it had addressed the incident but didn't give specifics.

“This is not in line with FOX Television Stations guidelines,” the statement said.

1. I live in LA and the FOX affiliate is nothing like FOX NEWS.

2. Surprising, since FOX loves bullshit so much

3. He might have chosen different words

and still made his point, but hats off to him in any event.

4. He Got Suspended Because He Only Said...

'good' when he should have said 'great'.

10. I agree, because she's actually pretty bad at it.

She fools the fools, but that's it. No one else is buying it.

So, yeah, I probably would have dressed him down for that, myself.

5. Suspended for the profanity rather than the factual error.

Conway is terrible at the bullshit. Incredibly clumsy. In her defense, though, there is probably no way to make it sound good.

6. You are correct. It was the "bullshit" word not the criticism.

TV stations with FCC licenses are very sensitive about "profanity" on the air. Especially from a staff member.

8. he was just telling the

TRUTH.

9. If CNN hires him, I'll start watching again!

11. I thought it was ok

Saying things that are not politically correct. If he was president it would be OK I guess.
