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."

As soon as Olbermann talked about this the other night,I went straight to HuffPo,looked at the clip.I knew right then and there that this was not as big adeal as was being reported.I knew it was BS...

[TimN]

Careful, Olbermann has made a career of staging histrionics. His audience lives for this nonsense and you sir have no right to deny them.

[4wehttam]

No you do not. I love Olbermann, seriously, I do. He's funny as hell.

Liars. "Fun" liars. "Fair and balanced" liars. Liars. Insulting our intelligence. Liars. Poor liars. Obvious liars. Don't watch these scummy people who salute "dollar first, objective news" second, maybe, sometimes.

Fox noise is a joke.

[BBGG]

Back to Square One. Blacks for blacks and whites for whites. The whites moved over to Hillary because Barack picked his camp and those on the fence picked theirs. Nuff said.

Faux News even has Faux Reporters and that do Faux jokes... Faux Me...

[NorthernLite]

Fox saying " Fair & Balanced", Reminds me of the movie The Blues Brothers, of that bargirl in the redneck bar was asked what kind of music is played here, she answered "why both kinds, Country and Western!"

[seenitall]

yes, Faux, race relations are always a fun topic...se­rve cupcakes next time.

[Knowledgeseeker]

Fox News is just a joke.

[OpusIsUnderTheBed]

Repugnant.

[StephenS]

I agree with ElZagna: If hosts on this show walk off in pretend anger "all the time", then Fox News has some corroborating video. I'm not holding my breath.

[IslandGyal]

They can try to clean that up how much they want. I can see exasperation in the way he threw up his hands in the air. Is there evidence to substantiate that Brian does indeed walk off the set once a week?

[Upperleftcoast]

Of course. But then, Fox is to journalistic integrity as George W. Bush is to leadership. The National Enquirer of the cable business. Only the right-wing ignorati pay any attention to these buffoons.

[IslandGyal]

I guess he's proud of their 2 hr. of Obama bashing.

[treadway123]

I thought maybse it was time to watch fox again when I heard he'd walked off. Thought maybe there might be some change to good journalism, and behavior startinlg at Fox. Darn it--------wish I was right and it wasn't just a joke. I kind of liked that young man, and thkought he grew some b----s of his own.

[WHATISTHIS]

ITS JUST FOXNOISE!!!
