In trying to make the point that important moments like whether or not to fire Gen. Stanley McChrystal will define President Barack Obama's legacy, Carlson said that the job of president was exactly like being a Fox News anchor.

Just like I said those far lefties are obsessed with anyone they deem conservative. Yes, they like to bend the truth a bit, poke fun at FOX.

But doesn't MSNBC carry a higher responsibility to report the news correctly, and not twist if for their own what? ratings, amusement? Sad.

I've had MSNBC on all evening, and all they've done was.
1) Blame Bush
2) call conservatives names
3) show this stupid video.
4) Talked about how obama accepting the resignation of the General was showing leadership like never shown before..
5) but the top of it, is when they sighted for a news story about the oil leak, an anonymous web form poster..

Blah blah blah... MSNBC and FOX are just two sides of the same worthless coin. If you really want to know what's going on in the world you have to do your own investigation. With the Web there's a world of information at your finger tips. A reasonably intelligent person should be able to sift through all the BS and gain a more accurate perspective on World affairs, but that would mean actually getting off your azz, putting down the T.V. remote, and forgoing that six-pack of Budweiser.

How does one get off their ass, and obtain their news from the WWW at the same time? And I dont drink, but thanks for just assuming lifestyles of others online..

Although I used your quote my message wasn't aimed directly at you. My description was more of a characiture of the average Joe: too lazy and too stupid to find out what's really going on and opting for a main stream media I.V. drip instead. Pathetic!

Default FOX News Personality Says Being President is 'Just Like My Job'

FOX News personality Gretchen Carlson claims that being President of the United States is just like her job.

Gretchen Carlson: Being president is 'just like' my job | Video Cafe

It's in the time of crisis making these executive decisions," Carlson began.

"It's just like our job," she told co-hosts Brian Kilmeade and Steve Doocy.

"From a day-to-day basis, a lot of times where there's big breaking news, we just sort of roll along. But what's the role of an anchor during huge breaking news? You remember growing up? You tune to the television during that one moment during the year, they would have to carry a story all alone. It's the same thing as being the President of the United States," she said.


Lady, you couldn't hang for 15 minutes as the President of the U.S.
