Great screen cap Colby……

Gretchen Carlson eats retard sandwiches for breakfast.. to be fair she splits those sandwiches with Mika Brezinski every morning..

“…you have an opinion media entertainer, who despite claims of being fair and balanced, doesn’t strictly adhere to accepted journalistic standards….”

Yes . Too bad Gretchen is not a straight journalist in the Stephanopolis or Brian Williams mold .

Which is really moldy .

On the other, you have an opinion media entertainer, who despite claims
of being fair and balanced, doesn’t strictly adhere to accepted
journalistic standards, and hews very close to pro-GOP talking points.

YA… why can’t they be more like CBS… oh wait. There was that memo-gate thingy? OK… Why can’t they be more like MSNBC… oh never mind.

OK.. CNN…….

DAMN IT!!!

If you watch Fox News you have to be able to recognize that Carlson doesn’t just speak over and argue with liberals, she becomes passive with conservatives and let’s them complete their sentences, etc., etc….

It’s pretty sad. I turned to Fox after seeing Carney on CNN (figuring he was making the rounds). I expected it to be obvious, but they really do seem to not care about perceptions. 

On the other, you have an opinion media entertainer, who despite claims of being fair and balanced, doesn’t strictly adhere to accepted journalistic standards, and hews very close to pro-GOP talking points.
 
Colby, I hope you are NOT saying Mediaite uses “Acceptable Journalistic Standards!”
 
Actually, I watched this live…Gretchen pretty much “Schooled” Carney this morning, and you could tell by his very last expression on his face.

Oh, as pathetic as Carlson and her approach is, Carney really needs to be able to endure these sessions without wearing every emotion he feels on his face. He’s painful to watch during briefings.

“By your boss”? shut up Gretchen you fcuklin’ dumb skank.

Sneering Pressferret Carney wanted to announce that Obama will stress tonight that all Americans should be able to live as well as the Obamas .

He’s not talking about he and Moochy , but his brother George .

He will be introducing a Hut Construction Initiative which will provide us all with our own 8 by 10 foot huts .

Or 10 by 10 foot cell , like his illegal alien Uncle Omar .

Factory made Blonde Fox News Barbie.

Why did Carney waste his time going on Faux news and talking to this stupid bimbo. Fox is becoming more and more pathetic…..oh Gretchen has talked to tons of economists?…ha ha…fair and balanced my ass….Faux listen with an open mind? Their minds are closed.

Her hackery well practiced…I just can’t get over Gretchen’s similarity to Bruce Ian McCulloch in drag.
http://content1.catalog.photos.msn.com/ds/pic-en-us/picenus_msnentertainment/MSNE/63baa017-712f-45c2-8676-2c74da65b61a.jpg

That’s a very good point. To do otherwise is to reduce yourself to the level of the interviewer, in this case a vacuous, hyper-partisan, Murdoch brown noser. Carney is better than this.

I agree.  Though I do get a chuckle out of watching his briefings when he gets asked questions from the media.  It seems that every question he gets asked, the look on his face says, “Seriously?”

You’ve got points to be made there, to be sure, but let’s not throw the bathwater out before we bathe the baby. No excuses for O’Van Karlsen!

This beauty queen (of the past) won’t be able to justify herself as a journalist anywhere else but FOX News. 

I know…Carney should have replied with, “you mean YOUR president?”

I love the whining from liberals about Fox News makes them look so strong. LOL

Where does Gretchen claim to be a journalist?  She’s a hostess of a popular morning TV show that also lets morning news junkies get an early taste of the latest news….and she doesn’t claim otherwise.  Who do you think is a serious journalist these days…Brian Williams, Keith, Jon Stewart???  It is what it is, folks.  The only “journalist” in my recall who didn’t show at least some personal bias was Walter Conkite.  Even the handsome, personalable Peter Jennings’ liberal bias showed in his broadcasts.  Sticking up for Gretchen here…at least someone challenged the WH….go, Gretchen!

That’s the thing.  News used to be about getting information.  Now, it’s become entertainment.  You shouldn’t be going to these people to get your news or think they speak the truth.  (When I say these people, I include MSNBC opinion shows and The Daily Show in with the FOX opinion shows).  It’s a ratings grab, and it has slowly undermined journalistic integrity.  I recommend watching the speech at the end of Good Night and Good Luck.  It’s amazing how accurate Edward R. Murrow was about what television journalism would become.

“Talked to tons of economists,” is code for “My intern found some stuff online.”

Oh Eddie, but you are surely an alien. 

Exactly which boat did your family come over from ‘Little Caesar?’

she not even that pretty though..i mean she’s somewhat attractive but she’s without question the weakest link of the Fox News babe squad.. she’s not funny, witty, or intelligent.. what gives.. Julie Banderas is better looking than her( barely) and they gave her the boot back to the field.. seriously why is her spot so solid… i don’t get it..

One would think that after 25 years experience in Media and Communication , he might be better at it .

Gretchen Carlson simply does not interview Republicans like that.

Carney is a lucky guy—Locking horns with Gretchen! First benny ever working for Boy Barry.

Nope… none.

Didn’t you notice that none of Carney’s answers addressed the questions being asked.  He just wanted to spit out his preprogrammed talking points and Gretchen, to her credit, wouldn’t let him.  I would like to see this done with all politicians, regardless of their political affiliations.  I favor rough and tumble interviews that challenge the politicians over polite interviews with no follow up questions.  Why wouldn’t everyone?

Just watched the clip again and am really having difficulty understanding all the negative comments about it.  What questions would anyone else ask that would be better?  How does one thing she asked “brown nose Murdoch”? Personally, I liked her tenacity to press for anything new in the speech…that, by anyone’s standards is a good journalist’ technique.   Seems to me that the morning quarterbacks here are simply talking point, biased hacks…period.

Good God what an absolute bitch this woman is. she Can’t Understand Normal Thinking.

I love the exposition of the real feelings of the left for women whenever it’s safe because the woman in question is or may be a conservative.  The “stupid bimbo”-”Barbie”-”skank” graduated from Stanford and is an accomplished violinist who represented Minnesota in the Miss America pageant.  I wonder if any of you who are quite comfortable with your misogynist comments can match that resume.

Yeah, those hateful Fox news folks, I was able to catch Carney and the white house news channel, MSNBC, during their morning chat(briefing) . As Mika held Carney”s wanker, Mike Testicle massaged his back, Harold Ford was given the enviable task of proclaiming Obama the “greatest orator in the history of the presidency”, just prior to taking over for Mika, but of course switching to the oral form of holding. the pressure on Carney was extreme, but he “came ” through in the end. I’m so glad we have at least one channel that truly places integrity before partisanship.

Is Carney any form of non-american heritage kinda person, like english or something, because Gretchen is obviously a “racist”, asking him questions and such. Oh  yeah, she was inferring the president was, whatever!. Hate that Fox, love that MSNBC.  

“On one hand you have a press secretary whose sole job (like every one before him) is to get a message out that serves to advance the policy agenda of the administration for which he works.”
============================================================

Colby,
Isn’t this a coincidence, that’s the same mandate the network nedia has when there’s a Democrat in the WH!

That comes from the academically induced superiority complex of the whitehouse, as embodied by his boss. “What, are you really questioning the Oracle of Pennsylvania Ave, plebian?”

The tsunami……?
Oh brother…

You know I find you to be a very facinating individual. I would really like to know more about you. I want to have a deeper understanding of your thoughts and how your opinions were formed. So here goes… Are you embarrased by being so stupid and so proud of it? Do you speak this way when other people are around or do you just show your ignorance under the anonimity the web provides you? Do you have kids? Do they still speak to you? How many times have you been divorced? Do you have a job or are you a retired old coot with nothing else to do but to spew hatred and stupidity on a daily basis? At what grade level did you drop out or high school? Did you flunk government class? How many guns do you own? Would you shoot someone who didn’t believe the way you do? How many people of color do you actually know and speak to on a regular basis? Do you just have basic cable? How many times have you received unemployment benefits? Please get back to me right away with your answers and no glib one line remarks. I know these questions are tough but I am sure you can answer them if you put a little thought into it… Oh, yea thinking. I’m sorry I really can’t ask you to do something your unable to do.

Did you get the recipe from Obama. It appears they’re not the only ones eating those sandwiches.

Gretchen Carlson is really exciting & exhilarating. She is a true Nordic beauty with a quick, agile mind.

Far better than the bulls on MSNBC.

She is literally a beauty queen (of the past). She was Miss America.

Well the speech is about putting the blame on the Republicans. Obama is kinda like the kid that gets caught with his hand in the cookie jar, with cookie in hand, tells mom, I don’t have a cookie in my hand, sister does! Obama has never been told that he is incompetent because the media made him believe that the emperor is wearing clothes. Now when everyone is seeing his butt crack, his minions are still lying to him. This will be Obamas campaign mantra, ” the Republicans are obstructionist”. Can’t run on his record, so let’s play the blame game. That’s all he’s done for the last 2 1/2 years.

Why can’t she be more like Contessa Brewer?

The female in the photo looks like some old fashioned 50′s doll that lost its arms and legs. The male looks duly disgusted while talking to her.

Carlson is getting a little long in the tooth for Fox, maybe that’s why she is so aggressive these days…She is going to be replaced with someone with more looks & brains, and Gretchie is running scared…Can’t wait for that day…..

Nice posting vomit by another of barry’s minions.  Good Job!  “No glib remarks” you can’t make this shit up! LMAO.

Not with this level of lack of Journalistic integrity. Its shameful, and some of brewer can also be embarrassing. These actions from Carlson are unacceptable as a Journalist. One of Ron Paul’s reason to avoid Billo the Clown.

‘Gretchen Carlson is really exciting &
exhilarating.’

It’s one perspective I suppose.

…No. No…not really tickling my tastebuds.

Personally, I’m more interested in the news. I find that can far be more
stimulating.  

LOL – I love how the bobble-head keeps nodding even after she’s been corrected. 3:18

like the hag who shoulda aborted you…

LOL “We’ve heard those excuses before” 4:19

Yeah, because that Japanese ‘nucular’ shit happens all the time!

LMAO

I don’t think she’s a bitch. She’s just stupid. She doesn’t listen. You know… she’s blond!

Just tell me this… who will be buying all the roads and bridges that we are going to build?  The Chinese?  No!  Instead, what we have to get back to is producing goods and services that someone will purchase.  And to do this, we need to lower the net cost of our labor, including especially the nonproductive elements generated by the government.  Instead, the Obama administration is doing everything it can to increase the net cost of our labor.  This will only result in the loss of more jobs.

Really?  On the other, you have an opinion media entertainer, who despite claims of being fair and balanced, doesn’t strictly adhere to accepted journalistic standards, and hews very close to pro-GOP talking points
 
Such a funny statement.  Gretchen asks legit questions of Obama, but since they aren’t praising Obama, they are pro-GOP talking points.  No, Obama is going to speechify, he is going to point the finger of blame everywhere but at himself, and he is going to campaign in front of congress.  Those are not GOP talking points, those are statements of fact.

So funny
 
Just look at the debate last night, do you think those were “real journalistic” standards on display with the left-leaning ue

Agreed shootingstar, I and a lot of other americans are getting tired fo talking points. complain as you will about the bias in the clip, and then remember that there are other newseys out there that are as biaist the other direction. It evens out, they put the R’s feet to the fire as well. talking points are not going to create jobs, that is what we here from these hacks is that the most important thing is the creation of jobs. then lets hear something new, something that will work, instead of the same ole, same ole. to some of the other posters here, please stop being a partisan tool and start questioning all these guys with some modicom of integrity. focusing on the bias of the interveiw is scapegoating the interveiwee.

I watched this interview this morning and I saw a press secretary who won’t give a straight answer to a simple question. He kept repeating the same talking points and never answered Gretchen’s questions.

Carney look like he needs a good shot of cod liver oil. He always has that constipated look on his face. Maybe it is because he is so full of it.

Apparently, academic credentials only count if you are a Lib. Carlson is a Stanford graduate.

I think the point being made Emperor is that this idea of completely unbiased opinion shows is out the window. Also theoretically straight news channels, CNN, do not seem to be unbiased either.

I wanted to cry when I heard that Obama’s solution to the jobless economy would be another speech.

Does it make that not Mr. Carney’s boss navocar?

Love it when Fox News hosts turn into real journalists when Democrats are on. If they’d only keep it up the other 80% of the time….. we can hope.

Watching Gretch kiss Republican nether cheek all these years, never knew she had it in her to be a persistently tough and aggressive questioner. However she came by a journalist’s spine, good for her.

Perhaps those of you on the Left should read David Horowitz’s new book, A Point in Time: The Search for Redemption in This Life and the Next 

She still talks and looks like a factory made Blonde Fox News Barbie and therefor deserves to be called a factory made Blonde Fox News Barbie.

Author says “On the other, you have an opinion media entertainer, who despite claims of being fair and balanced, doesn’t strictly adhere to accepted journalistic standards, and hews very close to pro-GOP talking points.”

Maybe she’s adhering to accepted “opinion media entertainer” standards. Don’t confuse an “interview” with a “news report”. What’s she supposed to do, discard her own opinions? How do you do a ‘fair and balanced’ interview anyway?

Love it when Libs turn into real critics when Fox hosts are concerned. If they’d only keep it up the other 80% of the time when MSNBC hosts are on….. we can only hope. Watching Tamron Hall, Chris Tingles Matthews, Mad Maddow, Crazy Ed, etc., kiss Democratic nether cheeks all these years, you never knew they had it in them to be persistently tough and aggressive questioners.

How many threads are you going to spam that drivel on?

Gretchen Carlson is Roger Ailes’s good ‘lil wingnut girl, always ready to carry water for the GOP.

Seriously, Felix. What are you? 12?

“Talking points” is what Carney (or any Press Secretary) is supposed to give. They don’t make policy and in this case, his task was to help promote the speech.

and your point is? it can’t be hypocrisy, because that’s shinnig through very clear.

no, i am not 12…. why, you looking for a playmate, skippy?

The cut ‘n paste is childish, but it’s the name calling that really gives your age away. can’t you engage with Maddow and Schultz without calling them names?

…and more “investments”.

Funny thing is…Walter Cronkite never had that problem.

I guess calling me “childish” is not namecalling, but I digress…

If you’re looking to civilize comment forums and the clean up the internet, go start with Huffington-Puffington Post or Daily Kos or any other Lib website. You can even go after some Libs right here on Mediaite…. So, clean up YOUR OWN first, tart!

geez, are you lonesome or something?  if you’re looking for a pen pal, write the State Pen!

I just know YOU are not alluding to someone’s ethnicity in such a negative way. No, not YOU, the holier-than-thou Internet Racism Cop!… say it ain’t so, Johnny!

On the other, you have an opinion media entertainer, who despite claims of being fair and balanced, doesn’t strictly adhere to accepted journalistic standards

Boy, that’s a rich statement cobbled together by the hack that brings us MediaiteMatters!

She’s demanding to know why Boehner and Cantor weren’t invited to dress the President down before his speech. Uhh, he’s the President, you idiot.

Thank you Magistar for the insightful analysis! Now can you please tell us what exactly it is that Carlson is supposed to do in her capacity, and why it is that Colby has taken offense with her performance.
thnx

Here’s a really good run-down on last night’s MessNBC debate/farce:
http://ace.mu.nu/archives/321114.php

why has Obama done something about the rising water in the northeast? He promised…

(RE your last comment I cant reply to)
Gretch= Gretchen= abbreviation= Al and Albert, Joe and Joseph etc. Clearer now?And stop thrashing about will, you? Never said I’m crusading for anything. All I did was rap you for bringing a more, shall we say, youthful edge to the discussion.

Colby is good cheese. (if you can’t say something nice…)

…Nice try. 

You brought it up not me and I’m responding to what someone has already written in a particularly unnecessary fashion. Although that’s not the point you’re interested in commenting on is it?I’m using his flawed and skewered perspective to illustrate his pointless argument. Everyone’s ancestors got into the US initially by some mode of transport…or did they?

Thankfully, there many other political topics here worth discussing on this site and I find those infinitely more interesting than the repugnant aspects you’ve chosen to bring up. Some brought up in the vilest fashions.

nor does Rachel Maddow with Democrats……

Carney is a little weasel

Maybe Debbie does Wasserman is more to your taste?

And ceeza eats returd sandwiches for breakfast

Yeah, by digging ditches on his shovel ready projects the lowly middle class worker  have beens will get rich like him. Yeah those shovel ready jobs will help the females and the desk jockies who are not  physically able to do those jobs.

well that was an awefully big turd pile that said nothing

Not at all, that is just what you want to see,

That’s how he got the job. He was best at how to avoid answering questions.

You probably like the Rachael Maddow type…. Tall dark and lesbian.

well, rap your own as well, if you feel like you gotta rap somebody… i’m breaking no new ground here.. this ain’t Bible Study.

Or butch like Rachael Maddow?

Fired?

She isn’t a journalyst you dumb bell, she is a commentator or hostess.

Bravo, Just Saying! I didn’t know about the violinist part! She also happens to be a lady, which is far more than I can say about most Democrat female spokespeople.

You still think you’re ‘above the fray’, huh sport? So, you think you are somewhat different in YOUR negativity because YOU were “responding to what someone has already written”? GTFOH!!

nice try indeed, mr. holier-than-thou. very typical of your ilk….IMHO

Oh the $tupidity that is fox news and its presenters.

This *unt i thought was the last of the ‘intellectuals’.  Alas.  Another terror a result of home schooling.  She actually is coming across as more under educated and overly fed than the rest.

” These actions from Carlson are unacceptable as a Journalist.” … Hey, dumbass, she isn’t a journalist. She is a commentator and host (hostess actually). Your ignorance  is astounding.

TOUCHE

….talk about taking carnation instant b*tch! for breakfast [in her case, as soon as she was born (30+ years ago)

Fox and the tea party and many republicans.  It would be like a company's distribution centre asking dock workers [the ones that unload the trucks] to come together and find a solution to a company’s woes.  A solution that would require a basic understanding of the company’s finances.  Go figure.

They would be good at attacking (verbally) management but, ask them to take over?  Really?  Is this the degree of intellectual decision making the country that put a man on the moon first would prefer?

Yeah, she’s way too tough for him ….good for her.

How would you know, you don’t even know what normal thinking is… something totally foreign to your abilities.

That’s OK you are allowed to make stupid statements.

I bet none of them are halfway to Ms Carlson. She has more intelligence and talent in her pinky than they have in their whole bodies which are probably only good for staining the bedsheets.

Well try rubbing me big guy, maybe we can do something about your stimulation.

Meow, hisssss

Meow, hisssss

Meow, hisssss catty  cougar wannabeeeeeee   LMAO

Left leaning media and journalistic standards?  Diametrically opposed .

LOL.. I was just thinking he looks like he needs to find a toilet.

That look comes from being knee deep in bullshit all day. I bet the stench would curl your upper lip, too!

Gretchen is just using Luntz talking points.  It’s written right on the teleprompter for her.  

…and that’s putting it mildly!

Though somewhat boring, the most truthful response would be for me to point out that Colby clearly watches Fox & Friends and it’s often the subject of his second daily post; his first is generally a snip from Colbert.

In fact, if you go back and look, you’ll see that most every day Mediaite posts a Fox & Friends. It’s a regular feature and if you look at the Today Show tag, you’ll see that the country’s highest-rated morning show seems to average only about four or five posts a month (unless there’s rumors of a cast change) and none of the clip-posts are written by Colby.

He obviously watches Fox & Friends, whenever he watches morning television and pretty much every day (unless he assigns it to another writer), he finds something to post because they’re good for this site’s traffic.

As for the idea that Colby took offense at Gretchen’s performance, I personally don’t see it. Instead, I’d say he wrapped a contentious exchange that looked like it’d be good for comments and retweets, with a couple of easy paragraphs about it being indicative of our times.

No Vicky Dick, she’s a journalist. A hostess works in restaurants seating customers. A commentator works with the play-by-play guy on sports broadcasts.

The rest of you dildos apparently are tools for Madcow.

Can’t understand normal thinking? You mean Demo-speak? That’s normal? Lie, blame, deny, deflect?

Your name says it all: You’re the Liar

That is why she is where she is. Dumb Blondes don’t get morning drive news shows to anchor. If they can’t make it there, they don’t stick around very long.

And this is why no one calls you by your handle. Not free. No Sense. Just common.

She is not a journalist.  She’s a very bright and articulate woman on a fox program.  She asks pertinent questions and can understand answers.  She is a “host” of the morning show.  Because she is a female, she’d commonly be referred to as the “hostess” of the show.  

I know you’re confused because the other networks have a shortage of “thinking on their feet” females.  It’s o.k., you’ll get over it.  

p.s. If I ever invited you to dinner at my home, I would also be your hostess, but since that would never happen….

If I throw a grand party at a hotel, I would also be the hostess for the event.

She hosts a program and you are invited to watch it.  See, it’s not that tough.  

It also helps that the look on his face indicates that he’s not ready for prime time.  It’s as if he’s afraid that the next question will expose him as a complete fraud.  

Let’s think back to Tony Snow – class personified.  

I never new “moe” wore a dress

Sorry, I really think Mika has a lot more class

Fact: Gretchen ruled the Carney boy puppet!

Obama isn’t getting one more dime from us ” real ” American people to simply pass out more quid pro quo, vote buying cash to his corrupt union friends.

Gretchen should have asked this jackass how the ” Douchebag in Chief “  isn.t going to cost us anything…..just like ObamaCare isn’t going to cost us anything I’m imagining.
 
Did this ass wipe actually justify his douchebag boss blowing off Boehner and Ryan by asking why Boener and Ryan didn’t invite the muslim & the democrats to their Republican meetings? 

Obama is not the president of the United States of America as far as I am concerned, he is just some douchebag who lives in the ( now off )  White House.

Was I talking to you? No. I didn’t think so. If I need something explained to me, I’ll ask….someone else.

So, seek your thrill down someone else’s leg.

 FOX News fair and Balanced is the factual equivalent of  2″ guppy attacks kills and consumes 17 ‘ Great White Shark in 3 minutes, neither will happen in this or any other lifetime.

Yep, Carlson is intellectually challenged.  After all she was HS Valedictorian, graduated with honors from Stanford, studied at Oxford, became an accomplished violinist and in her spare time became Miss America. The REAL problem you have is she does not see the world from your point of view.

Fuck you u piece of shit nazi dirtbag.

Where the he’ll does Obama find these guys. He gets rid of that insufferable little twit Gibbs and comes up with this guy replete with a sneer and Maddow glasses.

It will take someone bigger than you teanationmustdie. Now go to bed I hear your mother yelling down the basement stairs

You are one disturbed dude BMG.

It seems to me that one can expect the comments to be on political lines. What’s enlightening is an honest, objective analysis based just on the facts and not on idelogies.  And I mean that for both liberals ,  conservatives, left and right wings,  and moderates,  every other view.

It’s all just flap and smacks of propaganda on both parties. Not worth even talking about.

Obama’s Job Speech = Same Sh”t, Different Day!  The reality is that America will start to prosper again when we kick this worthless, UnAmerican Idiot, B. Hussein Obama, out of office!

…Honest Opinion?

I doubt very much, whether you’ve ever had a meaningful or sincere one. Just continue to belly up to the trough in your prescribed fashion, because you ‘honestly’ couldn’t do it anywhere else. You’d have to deal with, the not so attractive…consequences. 

Have you guys ever had an opportunity to send an email to Gretchen to tell her how she approaches liberals and conservatives so differently?  try it and see if it get through.  I think many of her emails are being reviewed so not to hurt the poor girl’s feelings.  Put some more make up on Gretch.

His avatar pic is Edward G. Robinson from the movie “Little Caesar”. Maybe it’s as simple as that.

Carney met his female match.  She will not give up.  And though she does have some facts mixed up she is relentless.  For those that do not like FOX.  Go back to your fair and balanced MSNBC.  That’s a Cable channel that doesn’t know how to turn right.
