Score the first tacky award to Fox News.
During the 11 PM, (Eastern time) Geraldo program, the cabler ran a promo highlighting the "Morning Show with Gretchen Carlson 'direct from the scene of the Arizona Shootings."
I mean, good heavens, they couldn't wait a day? The bodies are not even cold.

First Fox News and other Murdoch outlets set the scene for this type of incident with their outrageous (hysterical?) commentary then are shocked, SHOCKED, by the tragedy. I don't expect this to happen but Rupert might want to reconsider employing Palin and Beck and lower the incendiary elements of their broadcasts.

I actually watched FOX news right after, since they seemed to have more interviews of those that were there than CNN. But it was the attitude..while Sheperd Smith was truely affected,the hot blond with skirt hiked to her cheeks actually seemed to have not a care in the world,calm,detached,and had a grin for a while. You just knew at commercial breaks she had her hair and makeup adjusted-you know,what's REALLY important in her life.
ReplyDeleteShep Smith is the only reason to watch FOX. I can't bear any of the rest of that lot, including the mercurial Chris Wallace. I also watched FOX until Smith went off the air.
