    This is flat out wrong!

  2. JohnKonop says:

    Fox should issue an apology ASAP!They also should be subject to a fine! Assination is no joking matter!

  3. bb says:

    Fox did not make the joke, some bimbo they had on the show did it. Who is the chick who made the joke?

  4. JohnKonop says:

    FOX played the comment without ever denouncing it! In fact they were joking with the lady about the comment. I cannot see how any rational person cannot see this was wrong!

    Again John, who is the bimbo?

    It is not the responsibility of news networks to apologize for every controversial statement made by their guests. But hosts like Keith Olberman and Chris Matthews should apologize in advance daily for the personal attacks against Bush and others on their shows. Both have said far worse than this unknown chick who was undoubtedly a guest on some weekend show nobody watches.

    Your logic is the other kid did it so that is ok?

    John,

    When you have your first “logical” thought, then you may comment on logic.

    So let me get this straight — interview shows are to be held responsible for the comments of their guests, but interview hosts (employees of the networks) have no culpability for their incendiary attacks…great “logic” John.

    Who is the bimbo being interviewed on Fox?

  8. bb says:

    Liz Trotta, former WT employee, award winning writer.

    She apologized for HER comment — “I am so sorry about what happened yesterday. In a lame attempt at humor I really just fell all over myself in making it appear that I wished Barack Obama harm or any other candidate for that matter. I sincerely regret it and apologize to anybody I’ve offended. It’s a very colorful political season and many of us are making mistakes and saying things we wish we hadn’t said.”

    Key use of words in her apology vs. that of Hillary Rodham Clinton — Liz never uses “if” as Clinton did, i.e. “if I offended anyone” vs. Liz saying “to those offended”.
