So I have seen a lot of clips on various fact checking sources and shows like Jon Stewart and you see Gretchen Carlson a lot. She has a history of just saying stuff that is wrong and in my opinion stuff that only takes a basic level of logic and thinking to debunk. Steve Doocy is just as bad. What does everyone else think? I really get irked at the stuff I see coming from Fox & Friends.

My observation of Fox News in general is that each of the talk show pundits has their own little niche audience. Chris Wallace and Shepard Smith relate to the more educated and intelligent part of the Fox News audience. Bill O'Reilly likes those that live in perpetual rage and anger...he exploits anger...the "mad as hell and not going to take it any more" crowd. Sean Hannity uses his smugness and arrogance to hitch onto the corporate bully bandwagon along with the Sarah Palin rednecks.

Glenn Beck, while he was on the air, exploited rascism and bigotry, along with conspiracy theories. He also goes out of his way to appeal to the Christian Reconstructionists...the Dominionists...with his pro-Israel rhetoric and the Second Coming of Christ in Armageddon.

Fox and Friends Gretchen Carlson and Steve Doocy, on the other hand, are the bottom feeders that give new meaning to the term "pride in ignorance." Sheesh...their niche audience must be from another planet. How anyone could seriously listen to the crap they make up is beyond me. But there is a certain segment of the Fox News audience that relates to their stupidity...those that hate elitists...like the Tea Partier at an event that shouted, "Colleges are brain washing our kids. Obama is using colleges against us. I am not paying taxes. If you want your kids to be brainwashed, send them to college!" Stupidity is a virtue for that audience.

My opinions based on years of observation where I learned to cringe reflexively, even before they opened their mouths. Ha!

It's a tie for me really between "Fox and Friends" and "Hannity". Fox and Friends irritates me to no end because its always some blonde chick with no brain and Steve Doocy, a cheezy moron.

But no one Fox pundit bothers me more than Sean Hannity, the bully. I almost throw stuff at the TV when I catch a minute or two of his show. And, that's seriously about as much as I can stand. He talks over every guest that he doesn't agree with. And, since he is clearly conservative, when he has a fellow conservative and liberal on the show to debate any given issue, its basically 2 on 1 and an unfair fight that's, again, painful to watch.
