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.

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.)

You quoted me quoting another: But we are opposed to Julian because he's black. [The person said "we," but was speaking of others' opposition to Phillips.]

You quoted me saying: 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.

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

I'll take you at your word that prejudice was not a factor in your case. (I also said in my earlier post: "I don't find Phillips' to have a very appealing on-air personality.")

Considering that I was quoting another, I certainly am NOT one who "insist[s] that we reduce this to color." In response to another's comment, I admitted my fear that some may be so motivated.
