You folks knew this was coming. The media is aglow with Palin-o-phobia. Some of it is funny. Some pathetic. Some fair. Some not fair. On the other hand, if you can’t run with the big dogs, stay on the porch,

On to safer waters…Sean Hannity. He will be more than fair with Ms. Palin.
But is she up to the challenge of Fox News?
More Bad Fox Manners Except for Shep, that title should read. Fox Anchor Gregg Jarrett showed his anger at Rep. Rob Andrew over the weekend. He definitely left his professionalism somewhere else. Brief synopsis from Huffingtonpost.com:
During a debate on police powers, insurance, and the Constitution, Andrews who appeared with Rep. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) found himself talked over and unable to make his point.
“Can we have just a minute of ‘Fair & Balanced’ here, just as an exception?” Andrews asked, as Blackburn chuckled.
Given the accusations swirling from the White House that Fox News is not a legitimate news organization, Jarrett did not take the swipe lightly.
“Congressman Andrews, I’m not gonna let you get away with that because I asked a very tough question of your colleague Marsha Blackburn and you know it,” Jarrett said. “And that’s a cheap shot and I’m not gonna put up with it here.”
Jarrett promptly concluded the interview
On the other hand, if you don’t want to be called out over ‘fair and balanced,’ don’t talk over people.
How absolutely, totally rude. The combative interview practices need to cease.
Contrast the Gregg Jarrett’s behavior to the darling of Anti, Shepherd Smith:
The video speaks for itself. Shep Smith is just a class act.
Day after day, the lies roll out and the truth is twisted. Finally, Rick Sanchez of CNN speaks out:
The newscasters aren’t–they are commentators. Beck and Hannity spew hate. Even Greta is not longer fair and balanced. Shepherd Smith is still fairly trustworthy and Bill O’Reilly is looking almost mainstream. Operative word: almost.
