I have decided that I will not watch any of the Sunday morning shows today. I have exhausted myself trying to watch the 2-hour Saturday morning business block on Fox News, as well as Fox News Watch. Unfortunately, these shows have devolved into a nasty habit of putting at least one discussion terrorist on each panel.

This week Fox News Watch had some guy named Douglas, whose apparent role in life is to throw left-wing lunatic fringe rhetorical bombs, until he provokes a response or reaction from the adults on the panel. In any event, the show avoids having any intelligent or meaningful discussion. I was surprised to not see Tucker Carlson, Elanor Clift, or Joy Behar not make an appearance.

In the future, I wonder if "Preventor Of Intelligent Debate" will become a formal job description, or just a character in a comic strip, like "Mordac, the Preventor of Information Technology".

That Doug guy’s last name is Kennedy, of the same family (son of Robert, I believe).

So your description is perfectly appropriate.

Bernard, I stumbled across Fox News watch for the first time in years yesterday. “Douglas” had me thinking “who is this whiny little twerp?”too. Turns our he’s Douglas Kennedy (yes, one of them). He must be part of a Fox Hire the Handicapped program.

LOL ... he was a total jerk (I could use another word, but won't) Former FOX producer, he must've been begging for an on-air spot for years to get the Rat message out on FNC. (( Kennedy joined FOX News Channel as a general assignment reporter for the network in August 1996.))He was very rude and over-the-top lippy.

HE'S DOUGLAS KENNEDY ... Robert and Ethel Kennedy's son, JFK's nephew, Caroline's cousin, etc. etc. ..and it's stunning that FNC excludes that pertinent connection from their website. I can't imagine what value they think he brings to Fox.
