FOX & Friends pitched an on-air fit yesterday when they learned “influential progressives” from MSNBC were invited to the White House to meet with the president.
Lawrence O’Donnell, Rachel Maddow, Ed Schultz and Al Sharpton were the president’s guests. Arianna Huffington of Huffington Post Media Group was also present. White House deputy press secretary Josh Earnest issued a statement saying, “The President met with influential progressives to talk about the importance of preventing a tax increase on middle class families, strengthening our economy and adopting a balanced approach to deficit reduction.”
The trio at FOX & Friends didn’t take the news well. Steve Doocy, Brian Kilmeade and Gretchen Carlson complained and reacted like teenage girls who found out they weren’t invited to the prom.
In a high-pitched voice, Kilmeade exclaims, “Look who was invited to the White House for a briefing!” Doocy follows up with “Who is left to run MSNBC yesterday?” The words “Outrageous” “Incredible” were flying around. Doocy explained that it wasn’t the White House who had released the guest list and he guessed it was a blogger from Huffington Post who made the announcement as he watched the guests arrive. Doocy mimicked the HuffPo blogger with his own interpretation and said, “Hey, there goes Al Sharpton, he’s really small.”
Gretchen Carlson unsuccessfully attempted to mask her disdain, as her two male co-hosts were in a frenzy. She stated that it might be outrageous but she wasn’t surprised by it all and said, “ That station is delivering the message of this administration, so it makes sense.” (No little blond pinhead! That's what Fox News did on behalf of George W. Bush. As well as helping to steal elections, lie about the progress of the Iraq War, and publicize fringe conservative groups like the Tea Party in order to help smear President Obama!)
“But that channel—that’s all they’re going to do anyway,” Doocy added.
Really? Are these idiots actually jealous that the folks over at MSNBC get an invite and THEY don't?
Are they confused as to why the hosts on a cable station that creates a steady stream of anti-Obama rhetoric would NOT be on the guest list to come and hang out with the President?
And no MSNBC is NOT the liberal version of Fox News. Many of them might be card carrying liberals but they actually report the facts, EVEN when it does not necessarily help this President. Their first responsibility is to journalism, and they certainly DON'T create facts out of thin air or misrepresent the truth simply to protect their political points of view.
P.S. By the way I have watched and re-watched that Fox and Friends clip a few times now and it really just gets better and better!
