But we are opposed to Julian because he's black.

I hope that prejudice is not the reason for these complaints, but I fear that you are right and that it may be a factor in some cases.

Certainly, the call-him-President-everytime complaint is so nitpicking and insubstantial that it begs for some other explanation for the hostility. (I sure didn't use "President" everytime I referred to X42. Indeed, it pained me to use "President" in the same sentence with DIRT-XXX-POTUS' last name.)

Maybe you've hit on the right explanation in some cases. On the other hand, I don't find Phillips' to have a very appealing on-air personality. (I sure would NOT ask that Fox fire him over it.)

All in all, and as you implied on another post on this thread, we should probably discuss more substantial issues. Maybe the other guy's ties or the blondes hairdo could have some threads started about them?

PS: enjoyed your great photos from the CU rally of April 12!

Thanks, BillF. I still have a ton to scan and post.

This has nothing to do with Julian's color. It's all about how lousy he is on the weekend edition of Fox & Friends.

Julian isn't as good at it as are most other news announcers on that network, but he'd far better parked in front of a teleprompter reading the news than he is at trying to come up with an original thought.

If some of you insist that we reduce this to color, Lauren Phillips has filled in on Fox & Friends in the past. She's good!

As for Julian being on the show to "attact" liberals: It's been my experience that liberals avoid Fox News because "it isn't cool" to watch it. (One has to wonder how "respected" Walter Conkite would have been had there actually been competition in the news in his heyday.)
