TV Host Grossed Out By Michael Sam Kiss Gets Star Treatment On Fox

When local television talk show host Amy Kushnir expressed revulsion this week at gay NFL draftee Michael Sam's public display of affection, she showed she has what it takes to get some face time on Fox News.

Kushnir stormed off the set of her Dallas morning show earlier this week, creating footage that went viral. The incident was apparently enough to get her a trip to the Fox studios in New York to be interviewed for Thursday night's broadcast of "The Kelly File."

"It was actually over the top. ESPN used it as an opportunity to put out shocking video when ESPN is a sports network that families watch," Kushnir explained to fill-in host Shannon Bream. "I mean, we've got children that play sports. They watch ESPN all the time. So it bothered me that they used it as an opportunity to promote their left-wing agenda, in my opinion."

Kushnir said since she stormed off set, she's been persecuted for defending "traditional values," and was subjected to death threats, rape threats and petitions for her to be fired. (Her Dallas TV station has stood behind her.)

1. I'll betcha anything that Fox Sports

refuses to broadcast any Rams games.

[Wounded Bear]

5. That'll be interesting...

They have the franchise on the NFC games at this time. I know they do our Seahawks games.

Good luck with that.

2. You watched an event that lasted 3 days where people pick people to play a game

over the course of this event .001% of the time was devoted to showing two gay men kissing. You then cut out of that event the .001% and showed it hundreds of times then have the nerve to complain ESPN is throwing it in our face. Hey if you don't want that one moment thrown in your face stop watching it over and over and over again. There was only 72 more hours of draft day coverage you could talk about instead. I'm sure ESPN would love to do a Trance Remix of Mel Kipper for her to watch instead.

LOL the sad life of the melodrama Queen.

3. She's wunna them real 'Mericans like Cliven Bundy...

4. She is perfect for Fox actually

As another duer noted, she has that clone look, a blond barbie type that Fox news already has a ton of in their female reporters and always seems to hire.

6. She should be able to parlay this into a FuxNews "contributor" contract

Who couldn’t have guessed that when Dallas talk show host Amy Kushnir walked off the set of her show after an argument over Michael Sam’s on-air gay kiss, she wouldn’t have been offered a friendly Fox News interview tout suite? In fact, Fox flew her to New York for the privilege of finding out in person not just why Kushnir was so offended but why she’s so victimized for her “traditional” beliefs.

7. Shows just how far LGBT Americans still have to go.

If she had melted down on air over an interracial kiss the station would have bounced her ass très quick but because it's two men they feel comfortable standing by her.

8. Left-wing agenda?

I didn't know ESPN carried hockey.

9. Well I've always said - today's bullies = tomorrow's republicans.

10. A kiss is "shocking video"?

This woman makes John Ashcroft look like a libertine.

11. But of course
