I can not believe I just saw a person on cable news, call someone a son of a bitch. That person should be fired for such a thing. It is always nice to see Fox News has such respect for people who are doing work for there city.

Jacob, it's pretty clear he didn't know he was on air when he said that. And please explain to me how Barron was "doing work for his city" during this appearance. What he was doing was making attacks of a personal and professional nature on Adam. If he's such an activist, shouldn't he be out doing things for the people he was elected to represent instead of taking up for his buddy in Venezuela?

Apparently this councilman thinks his job is to spread hatred and support those that hate America.
 
I agree, he attacked Adam first. Adam has been there over a week that I know of bringing BOTH sides and as usual Barron was talking out his ass... again. 
 
I think Adam thought he was already finished with his report and was talking in Cavuto' ear.

Fox is not a news channel. WHEN WILL PEOPLE WAKE UP?

V: Couldn't have said it any better. Barron has a long history of racism and hatred. Unfortunately, he makes for a good TV guest.
 
chronic: Go take a nap!

No one can say that Adam is dishonest!
 
Barron got shot down hard when he tried to dog Fox News mutt-style. NO OTHER NETWORK WENT TO BOTH RALLIES.

Covering Fox News is so full of ironies. For instance, if I were to quote what Fox report Adam Housley said live on the air on this web site I'd probably get the boot for vulgarity. Yet, the conservative Fox News apologists apparently see no contradiction. 
 
While the small tidbit J$ shows here is the sizzle, a larger context is required to paint the picture of Fox News' completely biased, hack journalism.

And, because of YouTube's 10-minute limit, there's still context lost as Neil's right-wing bias shines through as he continues with a segment interviewing Republican Connie Mack on the topic.
 
Fox News isn't a source of information. It's a vehicle to feed conservative angst. Their format is different than, say, Rush Limbaugh's but the effect is little different.
 
Which is why there's no surprise when Housely gets a big cheer from the Fox News studio audience when he attacks Baron.

I know you only post here to pimp links for your own site, and that you try to avoid responding when caught in fabrications or falsehoods. So I'm probably wasting my time here but...
 
> there's no surprise when Housely [sic] gets a big cheer from the Fox News studio audience
 
It's a surprise to me. Fox News doesn't have a studio audience. So how could they cheer? Don't expect an explanation from sknabt. I'm still waiting for him to explain the lies he told about me, which he has repeatedly refused to defend, despite being asked over and over.
 
Oh, and the article he wants everybody to run over and read? More hack work. Including another false claim: Housely contradicted himself about the rallies. No he didn't. Sknabt just made that up! But that won't stop him. Looks like he's in the running for The Lie of the Week, but those mutts still have the upper hand.

Actually, J$, from time to time you'll hear cheers in the background of Fox News shows. Audience? Crews? Canned track? In this case, it could be the crowd in the streets behind the reporter, but it sounds too clear to me. The audio on your clip poorly picks it up, mine is better.
 
J$, you're always calling liberals "liars." IMHO, it says far more about you than the folks you're personally attacking. It's background noise like speaker feedback at a live concert.
 
Housely's contradiction is picked up by Barron so it's impossible for even you to miss. It regards him being threatened by the crowds. Is he threatened by both or one side? He ignores Barron's question in his counter-rant so that ambiguity never gets cleared up.
 
But this is all smoke around the fringes of the real issue. Typical of Fox News, the entire segment is infested with right-wing bias. Cavuto's biased moderation, if you can call it that. Housely, reporter turned pundit, actively taking a conservative position.
 
Fox is more than news, it's propaganda conservatives can count on.

"Audience? Crews? Canned track?"
 
You honestly don't realize that a production news show requires a staff? 
 
"Is he threatened by both or one side? He ignores Barron's question in his counter-rant so that ambiguity never gets cleared up."
 
He clearly says that it was at both rallies. He did not ignore the question. There is no ambiguity.
 
Welcome back, sknabt.

BTW, I think'll I'm mention this.
 
I'll get to the comment you posted on my blog later tonight. I'm posting this on the road and have to run in a couple of minutes. 
 
You love to crow about how I ignore this or that. Which, hopefully all realize, is a complete fraud.
 
I told you ad nauseam your site's comments suck and get in the way of meaningful debate. The last time I posted they cut off a huge % of my reply.
 
I have forums. I can't hide from you on my own web site. You are free to post there any time. I won't censor your posts and, in fact, my forums don't have your one-way rules favoring the house.
 
I've heard your objections to posting there. IMHO, it's a pile of stink'n... ah... baloney. But regardless of your excuses for not visiting there they don't matter. The point is you can ALWAYS find me if you REALLY have something to say. Personally, I think you're just blowing smoke.

Ah, that's what I was expecting you to say. You needn't answer on your own site if you don't wish. I just wanted you on the record as to Housley's nonexistent contradiction and now I do. Thank you so much.

If the reporter didn't know he was on the air, all the more reason to believe he was speaking from the heart. He truly believes the councilman is an SOB and he was truly ticked. Fox is the only network that's covering all the rallies.
