Fox's Coverage Of Fred Thompson In Iowa (Videos)
Stop The ACLU ^ | Aug 18 2007 | Jay777

Posted on 08/18/2007 11:33:58 AM PDT by Jay777

Take a look at these two videos and let me know if Fox's coverage was truly "fair and balanced." Especially the clip focusing on his Gucci shoes.

Carl Cameron has been reading too much Maureen Dowd.

Most everyone on the Fox News Channel is s shill for the Giuliani campaign. Thaqt includes my persoanl favorite reporter and pundit, Brit Hume. If you expect fair treatment of FredT from the FNC, you’re wasting your time.

His shallowness is only surpassed by his ignorance. The shoes are not "Gucci".

One commenter at the website I found this at asked the question of whether Fox was in Guilliani’s pocket. I’m no Fredhead, at least not yet, as I state in the linked article, but picking him apart the way they did over his shoes and riding in a golf cart is ridiculous. Politics are way out of control. Traditionally he will be entering the race when most others used to throughout history. It has only started hyping up early like this in recent years. The media circus is crazy.

I saw it on Fox. It seemed a bit biased but then it was Cameron and Shepard Smith. I think that even Fox as a whole leans toward Rudy/Mitt. The shoes were a cheap shot coming from news readers who lean toward the cult of celebrity more than hard news. I didn’t notice that Mitt wore mudders or any kind of work shoes.

That's because, contrary to rantings of liberals, Fox is NOT a conservative channel. I don't know anyone on Fox that I would consider a conservative. Some lean towards conservatism on some issues but they are mostly "conservative" only when viewed in comparison to the outright liberals on most other channels. Personally, I would rather listen to Lou Dobbs than Shrill O'Reilly or Sean Vanity.

Oh no, Fred wears nice shoes. Another in a long list of reasons not to support him. No fire in the belly, a trophy wife who pole dances, and now nice shoes! How could anyone possibly support such candidate.

>>>>>Fox is NOT a conservative channel.

Never thought it was. There has always a significant bias towards the Bush43 admin, but that pales in comparison with how they're treating Giuliani's campaign. Carl Cameron has already crowned Rooty Toot the winner and FredT the loser. LOL

>>>>Personally, I would rather listen to Lou Dobbs than Shrill O'Reilly or Sean Vanity.

I still watch O'Reilly from time to time. He can be entertaining on certain issues. Right now I'm boycotting him for his unwarranted attacks on, and created falsehoods about Free Republic. He is your basic, self-promoting blow hard. Hannity loves liberal RINO`s Schwarzenegger and Giuliani. Years back I figured him for a libertarian of sorts. Still question his conservative credentials. Haven't watched H&C or listened to his radio show for almost a year.

Hannity called himself a libertarian once, but no real libertarian would ever support big-government-type authoritarian like Ruity.

Maybe the media would have more respect for him if he wore a members only jacket like Amadinjad.

You’re probably right. I suspect he’ll go with whoever seems most popular at any given moment.

He is a fawning star-worshipper, isn't he?

I don't know if Fred will solicit it from Sean the way Rudy does, though. The two of them have been trapped in this symbiotic relationship for years....

The thing that shocked me about the video was how old Fred looks. I mean, he just looks sooooo old. His wife must really feel old age creapin’ up on her when they’re sleeping together.
