FOX anchors say network is 'Obama-bashing'

Be sure to check out the YouTube clips from FOX. Kudos to FOX's Kilmeade and Wallace for showing some integrity and standing up to their biased network!


Mayhem at FOX News: Anchor Walks Off Set, Wallace Rails Network for "Obama-Bashing"


March 21, 2008 | Huffington Post

Fox News' very own anchors are speaking out — and walking off — over what they perceive to be "Obama-bashing" on their network.


This morning on "Fox and Friends," Brian Kilmeade walked off the set after a dispute with his co-hosts Gretchen Carlson (she who celebrates deadly floods) and Steve Doocy over Obama's comment that his grandmother is a "typical white person." Kilmeade argued that the remark needed to be taken in context and eventually got so fed up with his co-hosts that he walked off set.


Later, "Fox News Sunday" host Chris Wallace came on the show and railed against "Fox and Friends" for what he called "Obama-bashing."


Update: Later that morning, Chris Wallace called into Brian Kilmeade's radio show to talk about the incident (apparently Steve Doocy was genuinely mad). Wallace also indicated that Fox execs might not have agreed with his position. You think? Find the audio here.
