Fox Hosts Claim Friday's Walk-Off Was A Joke

This morning on "Fox and Friends," co-hosts Brian Kilmeade, Gretchen Carlson, and Steve Doocy addressed Friday's show and Kilmeade's storming off the set after a dispute about Barack Obama's comments on the "typical white person." Their explanation: it was a joke, and they do it all the time!

"They got it all wrong," Doocy said of our report. "Had Brian actually stormed off the set in anger, would he have come back the next segment?"

"I walk off all the time," Kilmeade explained. "The argument was real. The walk-off was fun. We are a fun show."

they can't even tell the truth about this... singularly amazing!

[tgolstch]

It has been proven that people who watch fox noise have low I.Q.'s. Why then keep droning on about the republican ministry of truth?

[totalliberal]

For those hillbillies that keep ranting about how Fox has high cable rating. Compared to regular network news broadcasts, they are piss-ants.

[maddog2112]

And they only passed CNN when CNN split itself in two and created The Headline News Channel. With the combined ratings of those two channels, fox comes in dead last in all catagories.

[BitJam]

So were the comments of Chris Wallace a joke too? Was he just kidding when he complained about all the Obama-bashing going on at FOX?

[AurigaRa]

cant wait til this network implodes and has to shut down

[margi]

Fox Walk-off was a joke . Yeah right and the pope is chinese.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!nice try. The guy came to his senses, but he was obviously warned that his pink slip would not be far next time!!

[CarlyCorday]

I agree with margi.

And what's that up there about "hillbillies"?!

Us hillbillies don't all watch Faux News.

Oh, and about the average IQ, there's also an average age, and I think it's ummm...71, right?

[CranialRectalLoopback]

I think he meant that the show was a joke, as is the network.

[msmaggie]

I cannot tell you how much this pains me, but when I saw the link, it was pretty obvious that he was making a joke, reacting to the comment re "how would you feel if we called you a typical ex sportscaster?" Pretty stupid all the way around, but yes, I thought he was trying to be funny. The Wallace comments, and the subsequent squirming, was more interesting

[davvid]

These are such phonies.

[Beowoof]

I used work 14 hour days as a mover. We all used to sweat a ton. The boss never wore deodorant, so the boss, truck, and everything around us smelled so bad by 2nd, 3rd, and forth sweating session that the rest of of were in bad shape. Instead of telling the boss how awful it was, we just stopped using deodorant as well. We never really noticed the boss anymore. Yes, FOX stinks and they' don't notice the smell right next to them.

[realpolitic]

Good analogy! The Fox News team makes Pravda look like investigative journalism at its best.

[arries]

So the name is Fake News? I don't know why anyone supports a Fake News program when we need legitimate news reporting's.

[dwillisno1]

Its in their contracts folks. Every once in a while they have to pretend that all Fox people don't walk in lockstep. They all got a bonus for being so convincing.

[mesuki]

Fox News is such a lame news (if you call it that) program. All those idiots on there have issues. They should call it ....The Fox Right Wing Show!

[totalliberal]

His wife phoned him between segments and reminded him that they still need a pay check.

[Sioen]

Well, Brian, I guess that's a somewhat twisted idea of "fun" you have.
