Fox & Friends Offended That People Think Stewart/Colbert Are Real 'Newspeople'

[meegbear]

Everyone and their mother has been weighing in on this weekend's Rally To Restore Sanity And/Or Fear in D.C. But what do the folks at Fox & Friends think? Gretchen Carlson, Brian Kilmeade and Steve Doocy were a big target of Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert's mockery Saturday (as they always are), and seemed just a smidge bitter about it on the show yesterday.

Take Carlson's intro: "There was this big rally, put on by comedians, which many people unfortunately think are newspeople. Jon Stewart and -- what's the other guys's name?" After Kilmeade and Doocy filled in Colbert's name, she said: "Those two had - did they call it the insanity something or another? Oh Restore Sanity! Not insanity (laughs)."

"And he looks fancy in his suit, like he actually is a real newsperson," she added later.

Passive aggressive or just unprepared? You decide.

1. Fox & Friends: Time for an irony haircut.

You guy aren't comedians OR newspeople. "Newspeople" - chew on that one.

[Blue Owl]

2. Fox & Friends are incapable of critical thinking

They need to be told what to think by their corporate overlord masters.

If they can't savor the delicious irony, well too bad then.

[Vinnie From Indy]

3. And yet many on Fox News believe Barney Rubble to be quite an actor

[Bitwit1234]

4. fox are just a bunch of crap spewers of republican talking points

no news attall on that station.

[Kalyke]

5. And this former Miss America thinks SHE'S a newsperson?

She was a sociology major - not a communications major - in school. She got on TV because she's allegedly "pretty" (I don't see it - at all - but that's beauty queenism for ya).

Maybe if Faux would report news rather than make it or spin it, many young people would be able to understand the difference. :eyes:

[PA Democrat]

6. Stewart and Colbert never claimed to be anything but comedians despite the fact that

their viewers ARE better-informed than Fox viewers. Fox & Friends claim to be news people and are neither news people nor comedians, unless you find stupidity funny.

[mstinamotorcity]

7. Fox News should have

been in good company. Because I think Fox News is the comedy channel.

[DefenseLawyer]

8. Fox & Friends: bringing the stupid since 1998. n/t

[UrbScotty]

9. They're also offended that America freely elected Barack HUSSEIN Obama as our President (nt)

[fascisthunter]

10. too bad Faux... you lowered the bar on Newspeople long ago

oh... and both comedians do not claim to be "Fair and Balanced"... embarrassing

[Jester Messiah]

11. Well, at least they needn't worry about anyone making that mistake with them. [nt]

[and-justice-for-all]

12. They do a better job with their news satire....

than those assholes do with their lying.

Rally To Restore Sanity and/or Fear was a SUCCESS, so FUCK YOU FOX NOISE!

[Kadie]

13. sign from the rally...

[AspenRose]

15. GMTA

I saw that sign when I was there, too. So many good signs there.

[meegbear]

21. +1

[City Lights]

26. That is a great sign!

:thumbsup:

[Hassin Bin Sober]

14. Steve. Doocey.

[old mark]

16. Very funny - Fox wouldn't know "real news" if it bit 'em on the ass...nt

[Jennicut]

17. FauX is news?

[marmar]

18. As opposed to the clown car known as Fox and Friends?

:rofl:

[sakabatou]

19. Oh, the irony!

You know what I'd love to see? I wanna see how informed people are from Fox News than to Colbert or Stewart.

[drmeow]

20. Every time Jon Stewart

said "Don't be a douche" I kept thinking "Don't be a Doocy"

[treestar]

22. So Glenn Beck is?

Did they have the same to say about his rally?

[frylock]

23. anytime bow tie boy mentions stewarts name, someone should remind him that jon..

took carlson's show off the air. total pwnage.

[AsahinaKimi]

24. Let FOX & Friends do their own rally..I bet 5 people show up

okay, I will be generous and give them 6. (someone's mom)

[City Lights]

25. I'm guessing there was lots of nervous laughter on their nooze set this morning.

The Fox Nooze team wouldn't recognize news if it bit them in the face.

[Matariki]

27. So called news people pretending not to know the news -

like the name of a very popular comedian and the name of an event everyone in the news and elsewhere has been talking about all week.

Cute. Not.

[niyad]

28. and *** I **** am offending that anyone at fixed noise wants us to believe that THEY are real

"newspeople"

[damntexdem]

29. Yeah, it is a bit of an insult to Stewart/Colbert, given what whores "real newspeople" have become.

Not that Faux News people would have any idea.

[no limit]

30. Looks like Fox & Friends and many on DU finally have equal ground to build on

[MadBadger]

31. Surprisingly Brian Kilmeade seemed to be pretty fair to them.

It was Doochey and Carlson that were their usual selfs

[Barack_America]

32. Tee hee. Says the beauty queen, sports analyst and children's show host.

They might take a look at their own "credentials" before throwing those stones.

[kwolf68]

33. Sorry to tell these idiots

Viewers of the John Stewart show are more knowledgable than viewers of Fox....when polling asking about critical, non-divisive issues (like who is third in line in the Presidency), the JS viewers trump the vermin who watch Faux.

[Javaman]

34. Me thinks they protest too much.nt
