Friday Fox Follies – The Hurt Locker Room Talk

By Headly Westerfield on Fri, Oct 14th, 2016 at 8:51 pm

Just when Fox "News" thought its chosen candidate actually had a shot, poor vetting has Trump turning into an unelectable dirty joke.

While the Committee To Protect Journalists Declares Trump “Unprecedented Threat” To Free Press, Fox “News” protects Trump from threat of real journalists.

What a week. No sooner had Friday Fox Follies finished last week, than all hell broke loose. It was dismissed as “Locker Room Talk” by some. Other saw it as a lurid description of sexual assault.

As more women came forward with similar stories Fox “News” was forced to go to DefCon 4 to defend Agent Orange. The week ended with a call for Lou Dobbs’ firing for doxxing one of Trump’s victims.

Tough break for a network that’s been trying to elect a president for the several election cycles. It’s already started making excuses for its severely damaged candidate. The current POTUS pointed out the basic problem:

President Obama Says Trump Came From Years of a GOP ‘Swamp of Crazy’

“They’ve been riding this tiger for a long time,” he said. “They’ve been feeding their base all kinds of crazy for years.”

The audience cheered as he described the environment that shapes Republican views.

“This is in the swamp of crazy that has been fed over and over and over and over again,” he said. “If I watched Fox news I wouldn’t vote for me, I understand.

Too bad he’s term-limited.

RACIST ROUND-UP: Remember last week when FFF called Bill O’Reilly and his puppet Jesse Watters racist? This week he threw Watters under the bus and simultaneously played victim.

Bill O’Reilly Denies Blowback FromJesse Watters’ Chinatown Report,Claims Outrage Only From Far Left

“I would have edited it a little bit differently than it was edited. But, no, it wasn’t over the line. We ran that piece on Monday of last week. 5 million people, plus, saw it live-time. You know how many negative letters we got? Less than ten. You know how many phone calls came in to Fox News? Zero, as far as I know. We checked. It was 36 hours later that this outrage appeared. And where did it appear? Far-left websites, far-left precincts. I read every single one. They’re all the same.

So this is an attack on Fox News. That’s what it is. It’s happened before. I thought it was a gentle piece. There were a few things in there I felt were over the line. The old lady, I would have taken that out. I should have seen it before, but I’m so busy with the election that I didn’t. But, [Jesse] Waters is a gentle satirist. He’s worked very well for us. We’re proud of him. This is an organized campaign. This is what they do. They’ve done it before.”

Two problems: 1). Every newsroom knows complaints (& praise) is weighted, each representing more than one viewer; 2). How many racist people watching The Falafel Factor would take offense at “gentle satire” from racist Watters?

It’s not anti-Fox, Bill O’. It’s anti-racism. Or is that redundant?

THE HURT LOCKER ROOM TALK:

It doesn’t matter if Fox begs “viewers to focus on the issues“, or buries the story on its website, or even ignores a powerful speech by FLOTUS Michelle Obama, this so-called locker room talk should come as a no surprise. Trump told those Foxy Friends in 2010 that he doesn’t take “NO” for an answer:

In the on-set interview with co-hosts Gretchen Carlson, Brian Kilmeade, and Steve Doocy, Trump recounted how he met his third wife, Melania Trump. He was at a party filled with models who “looked like Gretchen, actually,” Trump said, when he saw Melania standing next to a famous supermodel.

“I fought very hard. She wouldn’t give me her number. I don’t think she found me at all attractive, to be honest with you,” he added, laughing alongside the Fox and Friends hosts. “I don’t think she liked me too much, sort of like Gretchen didn’t use to like me.”

But now, Kilmeade pointed out, the two were married and had a son, so clearly, something worked out—a lesson to all the men out there. “This is what I learned though: take action. He never would have got there if you didn’t go over and put yourself out there to be rejected,” Kilmeade summarized.

Trump countered with his own lesson: “Move forward. Even if you get smacked.”

As history proved, Gretchen Carlson can recognize a sexual harasser. No wonder she didn’t like Trump.
