Fox & Friends’ hosts: Why weren’t we invited to the White House with MSNBC?

[Ichingcarpenter]

“I’m shocked by that!” Fox & Friends co-host Brian Kilmeade exclaimed the next morning. “Invite five talk show hosts in? All from the same channel? That’s outrageous!”


“It might be outrageous, but what I’m saying is I’m not surprised by it,” co-host Gretchen Carlson remarked. “I mean, that station is delivering the message of this administration. So, it makes sense.”

“Yeah, but that particular channel, that’s all they’re going to do anyway,” co-host Steve Doocy opined. “It would be nice to see somebody from CBS, somebody from NBC… Fox News Channel invited as well.”

“Think about it, the president said he’s not talking to Republicans unless they agree to raise the rates,” Kilmeade insisted. “He hasn’t talked to Majority Leader [Eric] Cantor in over a year, but, yet, it’s time to meet the talk show hosts on another channel. That’s incredible.”

“Maybe it was a thank you of sorts for the re-election,” Carlson concluded.

[roguevalley]

35. on the internet, they call her Petunia. :D

[Enrique]

2. because talking to those three lowers your IQ

and we don't want that happening with our President.

[think]

3. I wouldn't want the Faux Fiends trio anywhere near me either.......

[Buns_of_Fire]

4. The MSNBC folks tend to be housebroken. nt

[HangOnKids]

5. “I mean, that station is delivering the message of this administration. So, it makes sense.”

These ass clowns had no problem when they were blowing the horn for Bush. Jesus Gawd, their viewers are just fucking brain damaged. You know those cartoons where the evil genius is plotting another fucked up scheme, and EVERYONE knows the real deal, well everyone but FAUX viewers.

Too fucking stupid to breathe. How does this even happen?

[Marrah_G]

6. WHAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!

Well maybe if you hadn't spent 5 years calling him a communist, terrorist, muslim, america-hating, nazi, facsist.........then he would invite you to his house for lunch.

[Ichingcarpenter]

11. I went to media matters but there were too many pages documented

Since it goes back so many years of distortions, slander, lies and innuendoes.




I don't think the trees around the White House want their CO2 either.

[mnmoderatedem]

27. Yeah...

remember the "terrorist fist bump"?

[roguevalley]

37. remember the subtitle to a picture of Michelle that said Obama's baby mama?

[JohnStJohn]

7. What I want to know

is why Fox Spews is even considered a news outlet and why they believe that they should be invited to the WH for anything other than an ass whooping.

[hrmjustin]

8. Well said my friend and welcome to DU.

[JohnStJohn]

22. Thank you for the welcome hrmjustin.

[hrmjustin]

24. Your Servant!

[PD Turk]

9. Ok, my Mom was wrong

Mom was fond of saying "you know, there are no stupid questions"

Sorry Mom...

[rustydog]

10. Rhetorical question, right?

[Initech]

12. Because you're the host of the single dumbest show on television?

[Lex]

13. *nose pressed to the glass*

Sorry, assholes. Keep kissing Republican ass and suffer the consequences.

[louis-t]

14. Hmm, didn't bush meet all of the fox douchbags once?

Sorry kiddies, you'll only be invited when there is a nitwit, brain dead, repug in the WH.

[LondonReign2]

15. These three must be the stupidest things on earth

excepting their audience of course

"Bush Invites Right-Wing Radio Hosts to White House"

[rhett o rick]

34. And I bet he is available. They should have him on their show.

That'd show Pres Re-elect Obama.

[ladjf]

16. Is this a joke? nt

[xfundy]

17. Yes, yes it is.

A sad one.

[Johnny2X2X]

18. Freeze

I sincerely hope that the Obama Administration completely freezes FOX out. zero interviews, no questions, no press badges. It's not a legitmate source of news, stop treating it like one.

[edbermac]

19. You know, President Obama SHOULD have invited them to the White House.

Just so he could LAUGH right in their faces.

"Four more years, you losers!"

[rurallib]

20. maybe they forgot they said Romney won

Now they keep coming up with reasons why Obama is illegitimate.

So just wait. President Romney will no doubt call youin soon. Bet he has a secret mission for you all.

[gkhouston]

21. Is there *anyone* working at Fox who doesn't look/act like they've slipped a chromosome? n/t

[Quantess]

23. Oh no, they are serious, aren't they?

I was suspecting the Onion.

[Wait Wut]

25. Here's a teensy little hit...

Pres. Obama isn't fond of hanging out with assholes that act like 6 year olds. Keep crying.

[Quantess]

31. That should be their last interview with President Obama.

He should "forget" to return all their calls from now on.

[RedCappedBandit]

26. Call the whambulance!!

[Sherman A1]

28. Should Fox ever become a news channel then perhaps

an invitation would be justified. Until then I would think it would not be the case.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

29. I can't think of a single reason why they should have been invited.

Faux has become nothing more than the propaganda arm of the GOP. If they ever become a legitimate news organization they might be entitled to an invitation, but I'm not holding my breath.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

30. So let's say I have next-door neighbors I don't like.

And because I don't like them I blow my leaves into their yard, throw my dog's poop over the fence into their garden, park in front of their driveway, yell at their kids, knock over their mailbox, and steal their newspaper off their steps. Then, when they throw a big Christmas party and invite all the other neighbors but not me, I get all huffy and outraged and can't understand why I was left out.

[bluestate10]

38. Good analogy. nt

[Squinch]

32. Because no one in their right mind would go near the fox news inbred mutants with a ten foot pole.

Seriously. They all look like the "horizontal hold" on their faces is broken.

[SoCalDem]

33. GW had regular right-wing-a-palloozzas

There is nothing wrong with "courting" the media...especially if the media you are courting, at least makes an effort at "real" reporting..

Fox is openly hostile..why invite them?

[Raine]

36. Better becareful Faux the green eyed monster is showing it's ugly side and we see how jealous you

all are ... I LOVE it!

[ShadesOfBlue]

39. Bush kinda did this for FOX during his second term....

so I can understand Obama doing it for MSNBC. And look....if he is not going to actually sit down and do interviews with those MSNBC shows he might as well give those guys private one-on-ones.


As for FOX....he already gave Bill O'Reilly an interview during the SB and was treated shabbily in the process. And when the entire network works day and night to bring him down, such as spreading rumors that Obama was watching nonchalantly from some secret Batcave as Americans were being killed in Lybia, why would he ever give those fools the time of day.

[Exen Trik]

40. Because

F___ you, that's why

[Festivito]

41. Maybe because you are foreign owned and this is the American White House.

Complain to Rupert.
