Fox News Channel

And Eva Braun, oh I mean Laura Ingram is moving up to the 7pm slot. This network is shameless in promoting its chief liars throughout prime tme.

It’s such a strange, misogynistic program, certainly not funny (maybe to old American idiots).

On Monday’s show, Gutfeld was reacting to fellow panelist Jessica Tarlov, who hold the liberal seat on the show. She was talking about the new Florida curriculum, which has drawn heavy criticism for a provision that students be taught that slaves developed skills “which, in some instances, could be applied for their personal benefit.”

Tarlov said that she was “fundamentally uncomfortable” with that provision, and said that it was similar to someone pointing out that Jews in concentration camps during the Holocaust “learned a strong work ethic.”

Fox & Friends, FNC’s daytime talk show, has a new orange open and a smaller set, while the main studio is being remodeled for election coverage.

An interesting, earlier article from Washington Post related to the show: An account of one of their anchors, Steve Doocy, whose quips on the programme seemed deviating from what the Republicans (and the rest of Fox News) are heading to.

Bit weird to have that blind pulled down behind the camera guy in the last clip.

Those windows are just screens. I wonder if that’s a non-functional screen that is generally off camera.

Rachel Campos-Duffy is to front Fox Noticias, an hour-long newscast on their Spanish-language sports channel Fox Deportes, in an attempt to reach (reads: divide) more viewers.

If only they’d get rid of her from Fox and friends weekend. She is one their worst. Can barely read the auto cue, makes endless mistakes with pronunciations and has the worst most divisive and vile takes on all issues. She’s awful.

How many newscast hosts are previous MTV contestants and not journalists?

Many female presenters on fox are ex beauty show contestants

Shocking (not :roll_eyes:)

Indeed. Part of Roger Ailes’ philosophy when setting up Fox News was that female presenters should always display their legs. Apart from satisfying his own desires of things he wanted to see, he thought it was a way to get the male audience to leave Fox News Channel on even if they weren’t actively paying attention, thus boosting daytime ratings and allowing the primetime programming to be promoted to an audience which might otherwise have changed channel during the day, gotten distracted by other things and forgotten all about the primetime shows by the evening.

A head and shoulder shot of a female presenter was very rare, with a wider shot flaunting their legs being the norm under Ailes’ leadership.

And Gretchen Carlson (who later sued Fox and Roger Ailes for sexual harassment, leading to Ailes’ ouster from the network), while having been a presenter on CBS prior to Fox, was hired by Ailes to co-host Fox & Friends more due to her having once been Miss America than for her TV hosting experience.

It’s also why so many of the women hosts are blonde. I think Roger Ailes personally had a preference for blondes, which showed in his hiring choices… and it’s something which has more or less stuck to this day.
