Bozell Appears on 'Fox & Friends' to Unveil Best of Notable Quotables 2010
NewsBusters publisher and Media Research Center (MRC) founder Brent Bozell appeared via satellite on "Fox & Friends" this morning to unveil the MRC's Best of Notable Quotables 2010.
[See related press release here; Video of Bozell appearance is embedded below the page break]
To arrive at the best of the year's worst in bias, the MRC commissioned a panel of 46 radio talk show hosts, magazine editors, columnists, editorial writers, and expert media observers to select their choices for the first, second and third best quote from a slate of five to eight quotes in each category.
Each judge was also asked to choose a “Quote of the Year” denoting the most outrageous quote of 2010.
[To see the results of our online public ballot, click here.]
The winner of that award was none other than Chris Matthews for his September 7 reprisal of his infamous 2008 "thrill up my leg" line.
Said Bozell:
This is the quote that made the guy famous in 2008 and came to personify everything wrong with the sycophantic, pro-Obama press. If I were Chris Matthews, I would forget I ever mentioned that thrill-up-my-leg remark. What does he do? He doubles down.
Among the other awards, the "Fox & Friends" crew highlighted The Barbra Streisand Political IQ Award for Celebrity Vapidity. This year's dishonor goes to Rob Reiner for comparing the Tea Party movement to the Nazi Party.
"He's a great actor, great director, great writer... Rob, stick to what you know best. Or, visit a Tea Party, because you'll know that you just made a national fool out of yourself," Bozell reacted to the winning quote.

Trollies are ignored, abused, laughed at, insulted, and scorned. They come to a website they disagree with, ask for the lovey lovings, and fail to get the tiniest iota of sympathy.
No one represents poor trollies point of view.
We feel for you trollie. We really do. Mumzie troll ain't gonna change those diapers for 2 more days. And they are soggy wet, smelly, and overflowing. It sure is a hard scrabble life being a trollie.

Maybe you can try and explain what fair and balanced POV is? You? msnbc? cnn? Maybe it's the Huffington Post. I'm sure that you can come up the best that is. I'll wait patiently until hell freezes over for your thoughts.
Who is this "you" to whom you are referring?

FOX.
FOX News is the closest to fair and balanced as far as the Big 3 cable outlets, and also throw in the nightly news, all of which are run by liberals pushing the leftist meme/POV.
No news outlet is right down the middle. Not possible. But FOX does the least amount of propagandizing toward one ideology. Easily.

With the fixation on "Where's the Fair and Balanced?"
Of course, this blog doesn't even mention "fair & balanced"....but the liberal trolls glom on to their favorite talking point!!!!
Too bad, so sad, intellect deficient to the point of snarking merely with talking points.
Maybe we need to have our own little page on the MRC Bias award page.....favorite troll talking point. I'm all in with "Where's the fair and balanced?"

Just as soon as FoxNews drops it from their tagline, we'll stop looking for fair and balanced reporting.

Funny, we're not getting on CNN's or MSNBC's slogans. They're friggin' slogans.
The Most Trusted Name In News ???? (CNN = trust???)
The Place for Politics ????? ("yes, JUST "politics", and not any partisan leaning.... noooo....)
Lean Forward ????? (what the $%&*# does that even mean?)
Difference is, conservatives don't think and act like 5 year olds, mocking some news outlet's PR slogan endlessly. Also, it just tweaks liberals to no end that Fox's tagline is so close to reality.

I hardly think I resemble Justin Bieber (well, except for my youthful and boyish -- not the Tingles "boyish", FYI -- good looks) but thanks for giving me an opening to "spam". If anyone complains, they can write to you.
And I don't think NB has brainwashed you, or even made a dent in changing your political views, sadly, as you're still dropping liberal turds on this proud web site.

Because others aren't fair and balanced doesn't make the saying any less of a mockery of use when Fox applies it.
Next time you have a question, hit the respond button. Generally that's the best way to ask someone a direct question on these threads.

At least that's how I see it.

Submitted by Blonde on Mon, 12/20/2010 - 5:15pm.
Because there's this cool feature here, right under an individual's post, called "Reply". Generally used when one wishes to reply to a specific poster, rather than, say, the NB community at large, or the actual blogger.
My curiosity is naturally piqued, because I've seen a couple of Odin's posts before, oh my...looks to me like just another sto'bought troll (h/t cajun)....who have a nasty habit of posting "You" aimed at the original blogger, or even worse "You" as in "you people".
Hence my question.
P.S. You might want to work on the reply thingy a bit, Jer.
