Obviously, the far-right nuts on Fox and Friends did not seem very happy about the overwhelming support Democrats, in general, and Barack Obama, in specific, have been getting from Jews. The graphic header reads, “Why Are Jews Liberal” and the subheadline reads “JEWISH CONSERVATIVE ANSWERS IN NEW BOOK.” So, already the stage is set for three right wingers (Brian Kilmeade, Steve Doocy and author Norman Podhoretz) to engage in an unbalanced and biased conversation. Doocy then comes in and uses the guest to attack President Obama by talking some garbage about buyer’s remorse. This is nothing more than trying to eat away at President Obama’s base by trying to smear him in the eyes of Jews. He is using this guest to try and brainwash Jewish people into coming over to the GOP. Then, Kilmeade comes on and predictably tries to rehabilitate George W. Bush and smear President Obama … as you would expect from a far-right extremist masquerading himself on a network that lies about being fair and balanced. There is no counterpoint or anything to balance these three right wingers blasting Jews for supporting Democrats. By the numbers that Fox News flashed earlier in the segment, that would indicate that this man (Podhoretz) is outside the mainstream.
