The Five Fires Back at Bill de Blasio for Slamming Fox News: He Has ‘Zero National Appeal’
The hosts of Fox News’ The Five responded to New York Mayor Bill de Blasio taking some shots at Fox in a recent interview.
De Blasio said that without Fox News and News Corp, “We would be a more unified country. We would not be suffering a lot of the negativity and divisiveness we’re going through right now. I can’t ignore that.”
Greg Gutfeld had this to say in response:
“He thinks America would be better off without us? What he’s really saying is he would be better off without us. But he’s wrong. Even without America’s most-watched news channel making fun of him, other progressives still shun him. He’s 7 feet of political invisibility. So it should be easy to pretend de Blasio’s dumb ideas don’t exist, but if that were the case, millions of people would be better off. You can’t beat leftism for burdening humanity, and that’s why Lurch hates us. We point this out while doing our best to ignore him.”
The segment also included a trolling of CNN and Brian Stelter in particular for not being as outraged at this particular instance of a politician criticizing a news outlet, featuring this image:
Gutfeld said it’s clearly a double standard and guest co-host Candace Owens agreed, saying, “This is the number one network for a reason. Nobody cares what de Blasio thinks.”
Geraldo Rivera said de Blasio has “zero national appeal” and clearly “has it out for Fox News.”
