Fox and Friends Beyond Outraged at Holder: He’s ‘Tougher on Fox’ Than on ISIS

Published on 18 Feb 2015 - Text from Mediaite:

Attorney General Eric Holder called out Fox News yesterday for fixating on the Obama’s administraton’s terminology for ISIS. “If Fox didn’t talk about this, they would have nothing else to talk about, it seems to me,” said at the National Press Club.

The morning troika at Fox & Friends were beyond outraged by this. “You’ve gotta be kidding me,” said a flabbergasted Elisabeth Hasselbeck. “You have 21 Coptic Christians beheaded on a shoreline. You have 45 people burned alive, and this is on the heels of a Jordanian pilot being burned alive via video that we’ve all had to see that gruesome attack on humanity alone. Yet Fox is the problem? wow.”

“They want to kill us and yet the Attorney General, chief law enforcement officer for the United States of America, is bugged by the fact that Fox brings up the accurate point they are Islamic extremists, let’s call it Islamic extremism,” Steve Doocy said. “Obviously this administration talks tougher about Fox News than they do about ISIS, which, that’s sad.”



Hey, I'm on Holder's side, as FOX "News" poses a vastly greater threat to this country than ISIS!

Gawd those bimbos on Faux News are beyond idiotic. And the blond woman is stupid as well. Holder calls them out on NOT focusing on what needs to be done to fight ISIS and instead quibbling over what they should call them. So they then deflect that criticism by bringing up the shocking acts by ISIS that only prove Holder right...that they should be focusing on what they are doing and how to fight them NOT on what to call them.

Reminds me of the fake Benghazi invented "scandal". All they talked about was if Obama said the word "terrorism" soon enough, or laughed at the idea that a YouTube video would incite a riot. (which later was proven to be the case). Like that was more important than discussing the acts themselves or what was to be done about it in future, as it happened way more times during the Bush administration, and will happen again probably.

Faux News. Making Americans dumb and dumber by the day.

You might want to consider refraining from bringing that drivel to DU. We know that they are ignoramuses of colossal proportions.

and the other is a militant muslim group.

The man is the AG of the US - not the head of the CIA.
