First Brian Kilmeade walked off the set of Fox and Friends, then later Chris Wallace criticized his own network for "2 hours of Obama bashing" Watch the videos:Mayhem At Fox News: Anchor Walks Off Set, Wallace Rails Network For "Obama-Bashing" - Media on The Huffington Post

It's sort of like seeing a vampire discover that he somehow got his soul back.

So much for the myth of "Fair and Balanced".

Looking at that first video gives you a glimpse in to the maturity level of so many of the Obama-bashers on this site and in America. I don't know who that woman is, but how did she get on TV? I love her use of the word "allegedly" to distant herself from a stupid statement but still saying it anyway. Is that supposed to be a news program? They throw out ludicrous statements and either throw in an "allegedly" or a question mark at the end to not make it an actual statement - and then people start repeating this crap as some sort of "balanced" reasoning. It's remarkable.

I really don't know their reasons for walking off. But when you see Obama interviewed and see he does not stoop to the bashing that is done to him, it shows me that people are SICK of it! This in itself will contribute to his election, not to mention his stand on issues.

They guy walked off because he could not get it his point across. Way to stretch this on out guys. He was not making a good point anyway. He was making excuses and got mad. Looks like he was the immature one.

As for Chris Wallace i can say that is typical black person as long i explain the nature of what im talking about??? Looks like he needs to do his research better. Let them do there show he can do his. If people were not watching they change the people or the show. BUT PEOPLE ARE WATCHING FOX NEWS A LOT

I watched the show this morning and most mornings as it is more news worthy IMO than the drivel on the Today show and the "walking off" was done as a joke. They regularly tease each other and Brian Kilmeade is the comic relief of the show, it wasn't because of any outrage over the discussion.
As far as Gretchen, the woman, she is terrible IMO and constantly talks over Brian and Steve... her point in this case was that if Hillary was to say "typical black, Jew, woman etc." or anything of the sort there would be an uproar, so she took offense to the "typical" part.
As far as the second video goes... Chris was just pointing out that he felt they spent too much time discussing the "typical" comment, mainly due to Gretchen going on and on about it, rather than focusing on the breach of Obama's passport info.
If you watched all of it, you would see that both sides were represented... Brian disagreed with Gretchen clearly in the first video. It is a morning gab show, where they break for news and chat about topics in the meantime. I personally do not chose to vote for anyone based on the opinion(s) of a bunch of talking heads on TV, and don't think there can ever be "fair and balanced" news in this day and age of creative editing and spin.
