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."

I'm pretty certain that I've landed on the wrong planet. I was supposed to be in a world that makes sense.

[realpolitic]

In Bush's upside-down world where lies are the truth, then we have all landed on the wrong planet.

Well that's really too bad. I thought for a minute that someone at Fux news actually became ill from eating and regurgitating conturds.

Those presenters remind me of the guys in the SS in old WWII footage.

When Obama wins, I hope he puts Fox News employees on a no fly list.

The 'joke' is that Fox thinks because it's talking to 2 or 3 million people that the other 275 million of us actually give a shit what they have to say at Fox.

these guys are such effing morons

[Kally]

Well how far will this comment go...I posted twice about the walk off just trying to flame Hillary. But it was held back pending approval..­.can't understand why it had to be approved. No bad words, no smearing no nothing. It just didn't support obama. That seems to be what you have to do to get a comment posted.

For some reason, I seriously think this was a joke, I thought so when I watched the video for the first time. This is really not worth the publicity we're giving Fox and Friends. Friends? lulz.

a very fun show indeed! [/sarcasm]

Fox was afraid they would lose their audience of bigots so they HAD to lie and say it was a "joke". What a bunch of losers!

[Fair]

Carlson reminds me of the cartoon newswomen character in Osmosis Jones.

"I walk off all the time," Kilmeade explained. "The argument was real. The walk-off was fun. We are a fun show" ..........­..RIGHHHHT­T! Sure, it was "just for fun". We believe you. Of course we don't believe that the producers told you to clean it up or your FIRED!

Once again proving that Fox thinks so little of the intelligence of its audience that it resorts to such bogus explanations and expects to get away with it. Sadly, it's basically true.

[Chumleysmom]

Once again proving that Fox is really Faux.

Ha... I knew they were up to no good. They get far too many ratings on the Obama Bashing Network to indulge in righteous indignation.

Boycott Fox News Sponsors, people. They are race baiting, hate-mongering, war inciting shrills.

[WoodyCPM]

Do us a favor and post the sponsors' names and links to their websites so that we can write to tell them we're not buying their crap so long as they advertise on Fox. We need more than a suggestion to boycott them, we need the tools to do that and to let them know why.......

Thanks for the idea!
