VIDEO: Sen. Levin and Fox Anchor in On-Air Scuffle Over Iraq Plan

[cal04]

This morning on Fox & Friends, anchor Brian Kilmeade and Sen. Carl Levin (D-MI) had a heated exchange over Gen. George Casey’s stated plan to begin redeploying U.S. forces out of Iraq by the end of 2006.

Levin ended the segment by telling the anchor, “Well, thank you for your opinion. But I was hoping this would be an interview of me rather than an interview of you.” Afterwards, Kilmeade was shown scowling and shaking his head. Watch it: http://thinkprogress.org/2006/06/27/levin-fox/

7. With ratings slipping, Ailes laid down the law to Fox "talent"

Ailes Cracks Whip as Fox News Slips
By Staff -- Broadcasting & Cable, 6/26/2006 8:59:00 AM
Slackers at Fox News Channel, you’re on notice! Your boss is not pleased. Fox News Chairman Roger Ailes is on the warpath following his network’s recent ratings slump, and he won’t hesitate to clean house to turn things around.

So far during the second quarter, the No. 1 cable news channel’s primetime schedule has dropped 22% in its core 25-54 demo and 8% in total viewers. The first quarter was even worse.........

Insiders say that, even though Fox News remains No. 1, Ailes is fuming over the complacency he senses among staffers.......

Commenting through a spokesman last week, Ailes left no doubt: "Anyone who displays launch-type intensity will continue to have a job at Fox News. Those who don’t will not. And that includes talent."
