Fox Fair and Balanced?

Fox News pulls the plug on guest Thomas Ricks: Was he being rude or honest? - The Week

"What happens when you agree to come on Fox News and then proceed to hammer the network for serving as a 'wing of the Republican Party'?" asks Eric Wemple at The Washington Post. "Answer: You don't stay on the air too long." That's the lesson Pulitzer Prize–winning military journalist Thomas Ricks learned on Monday, when he was invited on the Fox News show Happening Now to talk about his new book, The Generals, and troop readiness. Host Jon Scott started out asking about the deadly Sept. 11 attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya.

"I think that Benghazi generally was hyped, by this network especially

He ended with a flourish: "I think that the emphasis on Benghazi has been extremely political, partly because Fox was operating as a wing of Republican Party." After a total of 90 seconds, Scott abruptly ended the interview, which Ricks says was slotted to last between three and five minutes

They did hype it. But you didnt see anything on it anywhere else untill after the election, did you? All media is swayed one way or another. You cant read a political article without it being biased to the right or left

Actually it has fizzled after the election

Benghazi didn't have the legs that the Fox Propaganda machine thought it would. It had zero impact on the election.

Of course Fox will continue beating the dead horse, but the rest of the country sees it as a tragedy not a coverup

Cover up? I just want a few answers from my government of what happened and why it happened. What went wrong? How do we prevent such tragedy in the future. I also want to know why Susan Rice went down the path of explaining a situation that she really had no idea of what was going on. I want to know why a film was blamed for so long afterwards. I want some transparency instead of secrecy.

He was yanked because he was invited on (yes, INVITED) to discuss his book and instead went off on a tear of left wing talking points about Fox news and the GOP.

Funny, he didn't mention how CBS, NBC, ABC, CNN, MSNBC, NPR, etc. are ALL in bed with the Democrats... he's aparently fine with that.

If you wanna know what happened, I'll tell you. The people who live in those areas, know exactly who the bad guys and good guys are. They know who are the people that help them and know who are the people that hurt them. They also know who we give support and funding to.

If some country is funding people that come in and bomb your neighborhoods, shoot your family members and trash your economy, you're not going to send them a box of chocolates.

What do you think would happen if a conservative guest did the same thing on "This Week" with George Stephanopolous?"

The same exact thing would happen, dolt.

I think it is way past time everyone recognized Fox as pure BS from a bunch of paid charlatans for big money and special interests. It is impossible watching them as every second or so your sense of reality meets with contradiction. Ever watch 'the five,' more baloney flows from that show in a hour than your local deli in a year.

Here, let's settle it now. Ambassador Stevens and cohort were killed by a group of heavily armed Islamo-fascists.

Brian Terry was killed by a Mexican drug runner.

There lies the truth. Much beyond is folly.
