Mayhem At Fox News: Anchor Walks Off Set, Wallace Rails Network For "Obama-Bashing"

Kudos to Chris Wallace, the man dost seem to have some courage. I have to further revise my analysis of FOX I could have been hasty --- Nah!

Brian always seemed as the TYPICAL crybaby who will take his bat and ball and run home, crying!

wHY WAS THE TRUTH ABOUT THE FACT THA pUERTO RICANS HAVE FOUGHT IN WARD 1 AND STILL FIGHTING FOR THE FREEDOM IN USA . YET, THEY CANNOT VOTE IN THE GENERAL USA ELECTION. THEY DIE AND ARE MAINED FOR OUR FREEDOM BUT THEIR VOTE IS NOT GOOD ENOUGH BUT THEIR BLOOD IS. WHAT DO YOU CALL THIS FACT............BUT PE IS NOT SCREAMING. THEY ARE WAITING FOR THEIR RIGHT TO VOTE.

they put on the lamest act on monday's show you ever saw. it was all an act to lighten every one's mood. yeah, right.

sieze their assets and bring everybody in for questioning.
That would be an eye opener for the repigs.

Actually chris wallace is weaksauce tbh, but if you want to see it get rough check out him gettin owned by his own pops for fox news bias

One conservative says "You think it takes a village."

Another sends e-mails saying how all sorts of indiscretions are tolerated because of liberals...

Maybe it does take a village, albeit to a certain extent? Why else are our troops fighting? To protect our village; America?

FOX needs to chill- but Wallace makes us proud-- and for sure his dad Mike's wizened journalistic qualities were on display-- he has Mike's grace and fast thinking on your feet quality, as well.

This is a non story.

It's not like he walked off the set because Obama is pro death penalty or pro nuke power or to protest Obama's ridiculous attacks on President Hugo Chavez of Venezuela.

Who cares? Report the news.

I went back and counted three times where they ran the audio from Obama's radio interview. The three times I saw it, they stopped the audio after "typical white person" BUT went on and READ the remainder of the quote.

Why not play the entire quote? Why play half of it and read the other half?

The only thing I can think of is that they wanted to maximize the emotional impact of the "typical white person" portion while being able to maintain that they DID provide the entire context.

They tried that argument with Wallace, but he acted as if he was familiar with the tactic and called them on it.

I cannot, for the life of me, understand what the media is doing here. I know with a 24 hour news cycle you have a lot of time to fill, but MY GOD!!! It's not just Fox News though, I love HuffPost, but I just read the most ridiculouse article on here headlined "why barack changed his name". The article is essentially about obama droping his nickname Barry when he went to college. Seriously? Is that even kind of close to sort of mattering?

It's funny that people are even debating Sen Obama's typical white comment. Newsflash..........he's white too. What part of that are you missing? Is it because his skin is black and not white? Wrong, wrong, wrong he's been blessed to experience both worlds. My goodness, the man grew up in a white household, he has just as much claim to his mother's heritage as to his father's. This country has forced people of mixed race to choose sides. Unfortunately, it's solely based on the color of one's skin. It shouldn't be that way.

My apologies up front for being glib but why does anyone watch FOX or CNN or MSNBC for that matter? They are all awful. They are intellectually depraved and 95% pure propaganda. Now that we have the Internet, YouTube etc there seems little value in "watch" this tripe.

CNN is not far behind Fox these days. I stopped watching Dobbs some time after another one of his anti-immigrant rants. I have turned Blitzer off for his frenzied reporting on the Wright controversy.

I have yet to hear the MSM mention the greater context of Wright's remarks. For that matter, I have yet to see the media frenzy vis a vis Hillary's fabrications regarding her visit to Bosnia.

EXCUSE ME FOLKS,

I've been wanting to say this here and on "Kos" as well as other blogs for an awfully long time, and I'm quite sure many of you have already acknowledge this:
The only way, and I mean ONLY way to stop the "Talking-Heads" or any other unsavory business in our society is called "BOYCOTT"!!!

These businesses are just that, in business to make money, TV news via sponsors. With the V-chip, cable, direct-TV etc; these people need and must SELL commercials to it's viewers. Sponsors monitor the amount of viewers via the aforementioned covert operations in place. Better then telephone wire tap, Internet interception and satellite spying, it is a direct link to each and every household. Couple that with the voluntary Nielson hook-ups, the paying sponsors know what we watch and when we watch it. They are not in the business of losing money, when we tune these radicals out/off, as well as boycott their products, they do an one eighty and pull their commercials, by by $-dollars.

Myself, I refused to watch them, all of them. Outside of the local forecast on the weather-channel, I leave them the F***k alone. Seriously, emailing them only tells them you're watching, which makes the sponsors very happy, puts a smile on their face.

Example: Howard Stern and others would get thousands of complaints monthly, so the sponsors hung in there. (Nothing against you Stern.)
Please, please, please turn these hippocrates off, or they will continue as long as we have an Earth to live on no matter who the next President is. Or they will suddenly see the light, WHEN THE BUCKS DRY UP.

You people are smart and well informed. Get to work, it will only take, two weeks or less!

PS. If you must watch something, try C-SPAN, nothing will change, until we do!

I think using the remark "typical white person" was a gaffe for Obama. For someone who is so concerned about race, he should realize that making "generalizations" about "black" or "white" people is the beginning of bigoted thinking and should always be avoided. We benefit by looking at people as individuals rather than groups members.

Wallace playing the objective arbiter is ridiculous, particularly given the way he treated the Republican primary candidates who weren't anointed de facto front runners during each of the debates. He who insists that an anti-war stance correlates to taking marching orders from Al Qaeda and Ahmendinijad is now pretending to be a pragmatist.

I just want to know where are all the studies on media bias now?

While not always agreeing with Chris Wallace [his 9/11 question to Bill Clinton--to which Clinton overreacted-- was excessively provocative and unfair], this isn't the first lecture he has delivered to the Fox & Friends hosts regarding Obama. He gave them a pretty effective "dressing down" last year when they were in full frenzy mode--along with just about everyone else at Fox--over the bogus Obama/ Madrassa story. Wallace deserves kudos for his stands in both cases.

I am not surprised by any of this. It is disheartening how much time has been spent in an apparent attempt to discredit Senator Obama on whatever they can find. Rev. Wright, Rev. Meeks, a statement he made that was taken out of context or whatever. He is running for President of the United States. He is the leading democratic candidate. Doesn't that merit some respect, at least a little?

As a REAL blonde, I am completely disgusted with the conservatives in this country who insist on keeping a bottle blonde in a crotch-flashing skirt around for decoration. And I am even more disgusted with those bottle blonds who are SO STUPID that they don't see that's all they're worth on these shows. Please get old faster so you can be replaced.

Still a breathtaking thought that this happened.

This is not really news. I flip to Fox in the morning when the other networks are in commercial. I would expect nothing less from the fraternal Arian Twins. These blockheads are so sanctimonius tha I swear, without editing, tey'd make a great comedy bit on SNL. When even Chris Wallace complains, you know that you're in the deep end of the cesspool. Congrats to Kilmeade for taking a stand.

I wish Obama would elaborate a little more. What is a "Typical White Woman", as he said?

I think the low low faux blondie on the set has a laugh that sounds like an animal but I cannot figure out which one. Maybe others can help out. For her glee at offending someone who might have a moral reason for his beliefs and is willing to not only stand up but to walk out on these obviously mentally challenged two-fer say the two left are very very well representative of those who are too stupid for words. The usual at Fox. Barack hasn't made it there for well known reasons and the racist quality which is reinforced each minute every day shoudl reduce the number of viewers but the republican party view the channel as their own so I pass it by. They insult my beliefs and who I am enough to doubt the mental capacity of anyone who likes the channel. But there are other morons aplenty across the other channels too that I often am not surprised to find out they once were on Fox as they still sound like it. I have to admit Tucker losing his show was a good day for me as I accidentially have picked MSNBC at the wrong time. I won't watch many on CNN as they have taken the same crap out of context that Clinton and Fox have and played it to death as "the truth" knowing full well they would not get called on the lie. Lou Dobbs is a racist like Rush and Bill O are he just picks on the mexicans where Rush and BillO pick on them all. Sad that we ave such poor quality news source/talking heads. The day of those "reporters" who dug deep into stories and exposed the lies and the damage done by the real people. In a past day Cinton's lies about her visits while first lady to other countries and her experience that wasn't what her bio has said it to be. Also the Burkle money the HSU situation and all of those associates past and present of the clintons would have been fresh meat true fodder for a jpouranlist willing to take the time to fill in the details and really be puting out the truth for all to see. Not much of the truth broadcast and deeper than the sewage run off.
