Fox and Friends hosts Steve Doocy, Brian Kilmeade, and Gretchen Carlson spent multiple segments bashing a comment Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL) made, in which he referred to his grandmother as “a typical white person” in some of her racial reactions. Obama made the comment while discussing his recent speech on race relations in America on a Philadelphia radio show.
When the trio welcomed Fox News Sunday host Chris Wallace onto the show, instead of previewing his show this weekend, Wallace announced that he was going to take his fellow Fox hosts “to task” for their “excessive” and “somewhat distorting” coverage of what Obama said.
Wallace — who said that the issue “was a little more complicated than we’ve been portraying” — went on to chastise his very uncomfortable-looking colleagues for the next five minutes.
Watch it:
Brian Kilmeade walked off the set after a dispute with his co-hosts Gretchen Carlson and Steve Doocy over Obama's comment that his grandmother is a "typical white person." Kilmeade argued that the remark needed to be taken in context and eventually got so fed up with his co-hosts that he walked off set.
Watch it:
Fox News recently received an attack by comedian and activist Lee Camp on the air.
"It's just a parade of propaganda, isn't it? It's just a...festival of ignorance.
"A million people are dead in Iraq. Come on. This is ridiculous. What's the point of this?"
"This is insane," Camp continues. "Go out--leave your home. Go outside! Go hug your children! Love your family, you know? Do something with your life."
The anchor and panelist quickly act to drown out Camp's speech before handing the show off to another Fox anchor, flanked by four buxom women in makeshift Star Trek uniforms, to promote a story about Captain Kirk's sex appeal.
The following clip was aired on Fox News' FOX & Friends on February 23, 2008:
