Hello Folks, Been a regular fan of the weekday Fox & Friends - Love. I get the news but, more importantly I start the day with a few laughs. Excellent.

So what is the deal with this Julian Phillips fellow? The weekend Fox & Friends has generally seemed quite a bit weaker than the weekday version but some thing seems way off lately. This fellow appears to be left leaning flack.

Save Fox from left wing flack Phillips Freep Julian Phillips

Here's the problem - Mike Jarick was gone - It's not Jullian. And I though the entertainment guy, Billy-Mac's "damn it kids" during a weather segment was about as classy as Bono throwing the F-bomb at the Golden Globes - plus, they wasted time with Clueless George Clooney - talk about a waste of electrons.

I totally agree. I do not watch Weekends anymore just because of him.

[OldFriend]

Getting to the point that I don't care if I miss FnF during the week either.

[SF Geo]

Thanks, its good to hear I'm not alone.

For instance, as we are shown a video of the woman running here husband of he points out that this is similar to Rodney King. Huh?

Huh is right. What in the world does this sentence mean?

[SF Geo]

Lord I blew that bit!

I meant to write:

For instance, as we are shown a video clip of the woman running over her husband (recent news story) and he points out that this is similar to Rodney King. Huh?

I believe SFGeo was overcome with irritation. Using my freeper secret decoder ring, I think he meant:

For instance, as we are shown a video of the woman running her husband down, he points out that this is similar to Rodney King. Huh?

I definitely agree about Julian Phillips, and my husband rants about this guy all weekend! My husband sent an e-mail to Fox two weeks ago!!

[Miss Marple]

My husband wants everyone to know that he feels you should send e-mails to the attention of Roger Ailes.

The weekend edition of Fox & Friends is awful. Both he and Juliett are intellectually lazy and most of the time sound so stupid you have to wonder how the heck they got their jobs.

Honestly, it's too painful to watch them. I'll pass on Fox during this show until both Julian and Juliett are replaced. They're awful...simply AWFUL.

[The Wizard]

Thank you, thank you, thank you: I've been emailing them for a month, everyday...Julian must go

[SF Geo]

Same back at you.

[iamright]

Julian must go.

Juliett? No, No, No!

How for art thou, Juliett?

Juliett(sp) Hotty must Stay!

And here I was thinking it was just me. I get the impression he's just the guy who normally empties the trash
cans and just happened to stumble in front of the camera.

[cubreporter]

Don't know what he looks like. Anyone with pics? Don't watch the weekend show so am unaware but would like to see a photo as we may recognize him.

What bothers me particularly about Phillips is his insistence on a "smoking gun" re Iraq. They had him stationed at the U.N. on Friday, and he interjected that statement into his report as if it was a given.

Frankly, if I hear the term "smoking gun" on F&F one more time, I'm in danger of destroying an expensive TV. What their airheads fail to discuss, except perhaps in a passing comment, is how a "smoking gun" might endanger both our intel sources and our troops. There'll be plenty of smoke (hopefully after WMD destruction) once the war begins, but the media, including Fox, craves instant satisfaction at the expense of common sense.(Fox News Alert: "Thousands of Iraqi scientists executed after Bush revelation of 'smoking gun!'")

Fox excels when it debunks rhetoric with facts, not when it gives free reign to reporters like Phillips, who obviously has his own agenda.
