Fox News intentionally dumbs down their anchors, doesn't know basic math.

I saw this yesterday. Amazing. And sad. More the latter part than the poll, though.

Those of you who are fans of Fox News... care to even begin to explain this? Seems she's awful "elitist" to me for Fox News, who's only concern is the down home true blooded country folk.

Definately Pro*gress has been halted here!

look at her eyes. inbreeding in that family.

[Oh, Gee!!]

I had to google "czar," and I was surprised to find out that it means king!

[MiamiHeat]

This wasn't the news anchor's fault. They should have noticed the mistake, but

this, TO ME, might indicate that Fox News tampered with the numbers and forgot to make them add up to 100

Love your sig (not that the previous one was bad :D)

[EmptyMan]

Julie Banderas & Lis Wiehl are my top 2.

[DarrinS]

Good stuff.


I don't agree will all Jon's politics, but I'm becoming a big fan of that show.


From that clip:




Just because you're on the couch with Jack Tripper and Janet, doesn't mean you have to pretend to be Chrissy.

It's a morning talk show. What do you expect? Morning talk shows always have stupid people hosting them.

Fox News is the worst morning show but I can't stop watching those morons. Duece and Carlson are as partisan as anyone on TV...

I think its more a shame that an incredibly intelligent female is willingly being reduced to that level. Acting or not, she sets the whole gender back being like that.

Dont get me wrong, its fine if youre Lil' Miss Ignorant Soccer Mom, but she isnt.

Kind of like saying there are 57 states and that the earth is a few million degrees just a couple of miles down....

All three are mathematical errors. But, I agree, my examples are more egregious since you'd expect a presidential candidate to know the number of states in a country he hopes to lead and the leading proponent of anthropogenic climate change would have a better grasp on simple facts such as the temperature of the Earth's crust at depths where you liable to find miners.

I don't expect intelligent journalists on Fox to intentionally act stupid as a matter of course. You do, because it makes you feel better about being stupid when you watch.

I expect you will try to change the subject again.

Journalists never misspeak or make mistakes?

[ChumpDumper]

Journalists never misspeak or make mistakes?Intentionally?

Yes, they do.

On Fox.

i just googled "journalist" it turns out she isnt one

"I had to look up czar on google because I didn't know what it meant" is hardly a mistake.

I think the real idiot is the person that put that graphic up. Besides, aren't anchors basically useless and helpless without teleprompters?

I would have loved to see the reaction on Bush hating and bashing liberals and Democrats if Bush had said that there are 57 states. That would have been epic.

Difference being is that Bush has a long history of idiotic statements.

And if that's the case, given Ms. Carlson's background, personally I would find it incredibly insulting for them to have me say such things on air. It's her decision obviously, but no job is worth that.

I hear the price of gold is going up.
