We sometimes forget the valuable service provided by the newshounds. Who else would document the savage, vituperative attacks on Hillary Clinton that permeate the Fox News airwaves? The ones that other sites, like Think Progress, Media Matters, etc., are covering up and refusing to report. We thank Donna for catching that fiendish character assassin Steve Doocy in another outrageous pummeling of Senator Clinton:

Steve Doocy From Fox & Friends Asks If Hillary Is A Piece Of Livestock?... Hillary was making a joke, Doocy was putting her down... it's easy street for the Republicans, it's making fun of Democrats. Typical Fox reporting.

The kennel-dwellers were rightfully incensed over this callous outburst:

• The livestock on FnF are the three braying asses that host the show.
• Fox news attacking the way Hillary looks or acts. ... nothing new.
• Nothing scares a right winger more than a powerful woman or a minority.
• I would compare Kilmeade and Doocy to horse manure but I don't want to insult the horse manure.
• FOX disgusts me. I hope that when Hillary wins she passes a law to ban that network.It's Nazi Propaganda at it's [sic] worst!

But Donna did not post video of this hit piece--without video the savage nature of this smear cannot be fully appreciated. Since this site is dedicated to the truth about FNC, we will correct that oversight and expose the hatred and vitriol for all to see [QuickTime video]:


But that astonishing clip is just the beginning. Prepare to be shocked as Donna pulls back the curtain on another barbarous villification of Clinton, this time from the venomous Gretchen Carlson:

It was not a casual and laughing matter... Gretchen Carlson interviewed Terry McCauliffe [sic] ... Gretchen got a dig in about Sen Clinton having babysitters, buses and snow shovels given out to help people to get out to vote. McCauliffe [sic] turned the diss around and said that they just wanted to make sure that everyone who wanted to caucus got a chance to caucus.... He turned her digs around and made them positive.

And the denizens of the dog pound erupted in righteous anger:

• he handled the Fiends very nicely and that's a lesson for all democrats who are interviewed on that fascist kid's show.
• I'm surprised that McCauliffe [sic] was able to say so much on Fox.... No doubt she got a write-up from her bosses and a warning to get nastier next time.
• Gretchen tries to come across as a Polly Purebread; but she's really a nasty right wing bitch.

Once again for some reason the newshounds overlooked the video clip. An exchange this rancorous deserves to be seen in all its malevolent glory, if for no other reason than to demonstrate how brilliantly McAuliffe takes Carlson's poisonous question and cleverly turns it around [QuickTime video]:


PS: We overlooked one key comment from a regular of the pound:

• McCauliffe [sic] won't be on Fox for a long time - if ever. - claudo | 01.02.08 - 11:43 am

After yesterday's Gretchen Carlson interview, Terry McAuliffe appeared on Hannity & Colmes. Followed by a taped interview for On the Record. Today: another live interview on Studio B with Shepard Smith. Thanks for the insights, claudo!
