Griff Jenkins Runs Fawning Bio on Scott Brown That Feels More Like a Campaign Ad
By Heather Sunday Jan 24, 2010 10:00am

Bill-O's stalker producer Griff Jenkins does a fawning biography piece on Scott Brown which looks more like a campaign ad than anything someone could consider journalism. After talking to his high school coach, the GOP Minority Leader in Massachusetts, his auto mechanic and a neighbor Jenkins concludes that Brown is "immensely well liked and trusted". Heck of a reporting job there Griffy. Fox sure isn't doing much to put aside the notion that they're nothing but a campaign arm of the GOP with this one.

GRIFF JENKINS: Hey, Greta. We know he's from Wrentham, and we know he drives a truck, a regular guy, but with extraordinary accomplishments. He's a Tufts grad. He has a B.C. law degree. He's a lieutenant colonel in the National Guard. He's married to a local TV reporter, Gail Huff.

And when we checked in on his high school, we looked in his yearbook and we learned a few little things, like his secret ambitions in life in 1977, the year he graduated, were to be outrageously happy and play for the Celtics.

Well, we went out and talked to several people that know Scott Brown, and here's what we've found.

4. First, K&R to undo the usual, inscrutable UnReKKK. Then, Greta has always had the hots
for Rethug dudes. Oh, so do her male Fauxers!1 I don't know Brett FAVRE's politics, but she did a multiple PIECE interview with him that went on for weeks.

But, THAT said, I owned TWO trucks at some point, a Datsun that might be considered "regular," but does a VW count?!1 It was a departure into pick-ups by VW. I'm sure THAT wouldn't count as "regular."
