Gregg Jarrett

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.

Fox news knows as does our gov't that 80% of our citizens are uneducated and because of this situation we are talking about whether fox news is "fair and balanced". Are any of their hosts constitutional scholars,have phd's in economics or political science ----------­----------­--- NO. fox news is opinionated right wing propaganda. it's unfortunate that they have an audience that takes them serious when they should be programed on "comedy central".Their hosts are not journalist or reporters but are pundits.These pundits get paid very well and have the best health care that money can buy.They brainwash their viewers who don't have health care that they don't deserve it and the uneducated viewers buy into it."WAKE UP AMERICA" .------------------ greg t.

very profound reply ----------------- you can solve your problem by going to your public library or surfing the internet -------------- the citizens that do that are not fox news viewers---­----------­- you also can try PBS it's not corporate media.....­..........

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.
