Uhh, maybe because it's an American television station, Brian?

Is Brian Kilmeade Stupid, Insensitive, or Just Plain Racist? We Report, You Decide

Reported by Aunty Em - June 24, 2011


Fox and Friends, the happy talk morning show on Fox “News,” is one of the more insidious programs running on the propaganda network. Beneath all the fun and games of the Three Stooges* on the Curvy Couch is the steady drum beat of Fox “News” memes. The program is often the day-setter for these memes, which are then spun throughout the day, until they tumble from Greta Van Susteren’s mouth at the other end of the day. Aside from the Friends' obviously scripted and telepromptered talking points are all the unscripted ad libs. Generally, but not exclusively, these fall into one of three categories: 1). Something dismissive and opinionated uttered under Steve Doocy’s breath; 2). Righteous indignation from Gretchen Carlson fighting for Christ; 3). Brian Kilmeade saying something so brainless, that it even stuns his co-workers. This is about the latter and yesterday’s Fox and Friends was one for the books, or News Hounds.

At one point, as an introduction to one of Doocy’s weather reports, a segment producer thought it might make a fun segue to first show Tom Hanks dancing up a storm on a recent Univision weather report. It seems so innocent. What could possibly go wrong?
