THE FOX NEWS FOLKS ARE NOT JOURNALISTS
IF YOU ARE WATCHING THEM, TURN THEM OFF!

[jgraz]

1. I find your Candy Crowley picture to be incredibly insensitive

Dan Blocker is a fine actor and has done nothing to deserve such a slanderous comparison.

:P

[FrenchieCat]

2. Sorry!

I was looking for a pic of her, and his pic came up instead! Wasn't my fault. :rofl:

[Supersedeas]

25. yeah, poor Dan

[jgraz]

3. Oh, and shouldn't Stepho's "P" be for "pretty boy"?

Just sayin...

[FrenchieCat]

4. I'll never forget that ABC Primary Debate......

and I'll never forgive him or Charlie Gibson....

I didn't even bother with Charlie.....him and his capital gains tax!

[tblue37]

10. But why do you call George Stephanopoulos "Steve"?

[DFW]

17. I was wondering that, too

But since the rest of it--those I recognized, anyway (I don't get American TV)--was fairly accurate,
I wasn't about to belabor the point.

[FrenchieCat]

19. Cause he reminds me of a Steve....not a George!

Steve

Steve\, v. t. To pack or stow, as cargo in a ship's hold. See Steeve.

He's additional dead weight over at ABC!

[mvd]

5. I don't watch much of the MSM, so I'll take your word for most

Did Olbermann mention it when Obama clarified his stance on torture prosecutions? If not, B+ seems right. An A otherwise.

FAUX always gets an F.

Your CNN grade seems about right, too.

[FrenchieCat]

6. I don't know if Keith tempered his initial tone based on what Obama

ended up saying.

I give him a B+ because sometimes he gets too excited for his own good.
But a B+ on my grading curve is hella good!

Jack Cafferty only gets a higher score of an A-, because he's on CNN,
and it ain't easy when your show is part of the Wolf Ticket show
to say some of the things that he says. :)

[rufus dog]

7. What did I miss that got the WSJ a D-?

[Occam Bandage]

8. I don't know; I can't think of anything that would lift them above F.

[FrenchieCat]

9. You may be right......

Didn't know what I was thinking.

Revised grade for WSJ is an F!

Thanks.

[rufus dog]

15. Thought you maybe gave extra credit points for black and white drawings

and the fact that the don't put Democrat Socialist under the drawings....yet.

[NYC_SKP]

11. Surprisingly, this Fox News person got an A+ from me this week:

SHEPPARD SMITH got an A+ for "We Do Not Fucking Torture!"

[FrenchieCat]

13. Yes, but we are looking consistency, are we not?

So he's got some work to do. Perhaps get a new gig or something.
Just being on Fox earns one 12 demerits! :)

But yeah.....what he said was shocking considering the news source on which he was appearing.

[Hippo_Tron]

20. Wesley Clark was on Fox for a while

So I don't think it's fair to give him demerits just for working there. Sometimes the best thing to do is to go into the Lion's Den and set them straight.

[vaberella]

12. Andrea Mitchell gets an F, Ed Schultz gets an A, Nora O'donnell gets an A,

Shuster gets an A+, Shep Smith gets an B-.

[vaberella]

14. I just noticed what you did to Haus...don't put him in the same league as that twit CC.

I love Hause...although I wanted to bear Adam's children and then Candy's kids when Adam disappearedand when they were on together I'd fantasize about them both...~sigh~

[SamCooke]

16. Where's Ed? And WaPo gets an F for this article alone

I kind of like him I'd give him a B-

[Cha]

23. The reports I've seen from

john king have been sub par and I'd have to give him an F for abject Failure.

24. Sure about WSJ re: news?

Haven't been reading, but they usually do good reporting; its the opinion stuff thats crap.
