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."

A joke. Didn't the last fox comedy show get pulled? Oh, not that kind of joke. Did their audience get it? Oh, it was too deep for their audience. Is this their answer to the Daily Show? Was it intended to show up the Colbert Report? Maybe it was for the Republicans in general. HA HA HA HA,

that was not a joke otherwise he would have said so after the commercial. independent thinking does not belong on that show. the show sucks!

I said last week that this was just a scam to get more viewers. The good news is that a lot of viewers will drop fox news. The bad news is that a lot of fox viewers won't realise that they've been had.

I keep posting that this show is a joke, it is to get a laugh, and that people who take seriously are making a huge mistake. They are not smart enough to be taken seriously and that is the key to being funny.

Brian punctuated an argument with dash.

[LAJonathan]

The only joke here is the name of this broadcast....news.

[ReasonIsMyReligion]

Joke? You mean the whole network?

[IndieGirl]

It was real, if it was a joke, he would have come back after the commercial break and announced it as a joke.

Why are half the sentences cut out now? Whats going on at Huffs?

[ReasonIsMyReligion]

Agreed. What a pain.

[Sioen]

Me too, all day today. If I leave blank spaces in between paragraphs, it gets cut off.

[peachfuzz]

yes mine got cut off too

Someone had a Sudden Burst of Integrity but during the commercial time, the Puppet Masters reminded him that "Integrity Does Not Exist Here' as agreed upon in his Contract.

[dawlishgal]

My take on this flap, exactly. That they would rather be seen as pranksters than as persons with some integrity tells us a lot about Faux Newz.

[williamina]

Doocy called Brian a typical sportscaster and he bolted. Great read on the tea leaves this time.

[lenoirlady]

it is all about spreading the gospel of phoney news. No honesty, just BS every person on the dias can nod in the affirmative! Faux News!

[bas1311]

I can't decide if Steve Doocy is just a moron or a put-on. Maybe both.

[jimpryor99]

This is what you consider news?

[4wehttam]

Brian I could have really come to respect you if you stood up for what is fair for ALL people. You didn't have to back peddle, there are plenty of jobs of good looking lads such as yourself.

[shinybear]

So funny I forgot to laugh.

[mmelodee]

What a bunch of clowns!
