Fox News Anchor Rebukes Democrat After "Fair & Balanced" Remark (VIDEO)

Fox News anchor Gregg Jarrett grew angry with Rep. Rob Andrew (D-NJ) this weekend after the congressman took a shot at the network's "Fair & Balanced" tagline.

During a debate on police powers, insurance, and the Constitution, Andrews who appeared with Rep. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) found himself talked over and unable to make his point.

"Can we have just a minute of 'Fair & Balanced' here, just as an exception?" Andrews asked, as Blackburn chuckled.

Given the accusations swirling from the White House that Fox News is not a legitimate news organization, Jarrett did not take the swipe lightly.

"Congressman Andrews, I'm not gonna let you get away with that because I asked a very tough question of your colleague Marsha Blackburn and you know it," Jarrett said. "And that's a cheap shot and I'm not gonna put up with it here."

Jarrett promptly concluded the interview.

Would be helpful to see the question Jarrett asked Blackburn to know whether it was in fact at least a little bit "tough."

Gregg Jarrett is a bleeping joke but then who on Fox isn't? Saw O'Reilly the other night trying to take Moveon.org to task for daring to realease a poll that showed a majority of Americans support a public option. Well, every poll taken does show that fact (except Fox's).

If you're solely interested in truth, Google "No Bull Mom."

Looks more like opinion to me, and rather biased at that.

We'd all be better off just ignoring Fox Nuts, letting their natural audience put on their aluminum-f­oil hats and watch it, while the rest of us participat­e in reality.

All this attention is counter-pr­oductive.

A interviewe­r that lost control, rebuked his guest, a Congressma­n, showing no respect for an elected representa­tive of the people, why, because the interviewe­r considers himself far superior not only to the congressma­n but also to the people that elected him. Right at the end there the fool new how badly he allowed his ego to take over his mouth and, his actions demonstrat­ed his lack of fair and balanced interviewi­ng and his paid political bias.

Did you forget to watch the video before making your post? The who, what, and when is pretty clear to about 99% of us.

People watch Faux Noise for the same reason they watch the Jerry Springer Show; and Jerry Springer is a "liberal" try and figure that out. Shock value, that's what it's all about. None of those people really care about the news.
