backformore June 19, 2015 Share June 19, 2015 Elisabeth's "success" is simply headshakingly bewildering to me. A smug, ignorant, no talent bottle blonde Foxbot who is presumably making millions a year in yet another cushy part-time job. The amount of sheer luck that she has had in falling into these gigs is unfathomable. But Elizabeth is a bit of a laughingstock to some people. Joel Hale on "the soup" mocks her while refusing to acknowledge that she has a name. Jon stewart has mocked her, Larry Wilmore took her and her buddies apart last night, News Hounds and Crooks & Liars are websites devoted to pointing out the inaccuracies from Fox News. Bitsy is respected in her own little circle of right-wingers who will keep repeating the same lies over and over. Yesterday, Bitsy and all her Fox News friends jumped on a bandwagon yesterday that the white guy who shot up a black church was part of an anti-Christian movement. I'm sure they will just ignore the fact that his confession includes "I wanted to start a race riot". Because Bitsy and pals DO NOT retract statements or admit to being wrong. 6 Link to comment
MatchaLove June 19, 2015 Share June 19, 2015 I agree. I find it extremely distasteful that people like Sherri and Elisabeth continue to land on their feet in the way that they do in that industry. I guess in Sherri's case she must have a damn good agent or an admirable (I say begrudgingly) amount of hussle. Then again, she needs to work now that she has two children to support.

The amount of sheer luck that she has had in falling into these gigs is unfathomable. Sherri does a pretty good job in the episodic comedy world (Friends, Everybody Loves Raymond, Hot in Cleveland) but she's a train wreck when she's on her own. Hasselbeck, on the other hand, fascinates me. In the worst way. She's such a nasty f****g weirdo. Sometimes it feels as though she's going bite my face off with her aggressive, angry delivery to camera. The words explode out of her mouth and it's like watching a child mimic what the grown-ups would do. Except not. 8 Link to comment
susieq147 June 19, 2015 Share June 19, 2015 Hasselbeck, on the other hand, fascinates me. In the worst way. Oh I completely understand that. For the life of me I can NOT understand how she has been able to succeed to be where she is. Don't get me wrong. Fox News is definitely her mother ship but she is just so fucking stupid. She looks the part of the typical Fox News blond but she is dumb as rock. I swear I've always thought she made a deal with that devil she is so afraid of. I simply do not have any other explanation as to why she isn't anything more than a footnote in the history of the show Survivor. 8 Link to comment

Cosmocrush June 20, 2015 Share June 20, 2015 (edited) Sherri took the time to tweet that? Wow, WTF cares? Just going by the tweets I see on this thread I'm guessing Sherri has a lot of time on her hands - enough to pick fights with random followers anyway. I'd have guessed a single mother working on working would be too busy for that kind of nonsense. But as usual, I would be wrong, lol. But Elizabeth is a bit of a laughingstock to some people.

I think 'respect' is a little strong. I'd say they tolerate her because she actually brings in viewers but I'd question if any of them really respect her. Today in the car I heard a local [seattle market] right-leaning [hates government spending, rallying against the poor, blah blah blah] talk show host totally bash Bitsy and her Buddies over at Faux and Friends for being the most tone deaf people in the media regarding the most recent shooting in South Carolina* . I was kind of surprised to hear a this guy call out Faux News in general and Bitsy in particular. He totally trashed her and her moron sidekicks. It cracked me up. I might have to listen to his show one day, lol. *Apparently the women who reported seeing the shooter's car on the road and called police had gotten the description of the car watching F&F The short version of the clip he played was an interview Bitsy and Buddies did with the "Hero" witness and it was all about WHERE she got the description of the car - despite every major network broadcasting the same information. I swear those three morons and Bitsy in particular, sounded absolutely giddy about it. Tone-deaf indeed. Edited June 20, 2015 by Cosmocrush 4 Link to comment

MatchaLove June 22, 2015 Share June 22, 2015 Lizzie lost her mind again! I actually caught this live this morning getting ready. Yes, I was hate-watching (don't judge me :) ) When they started to ramble on about using the word at State of The Union etc. I just sort of stood there blinking. These people are insane and Steve Doocy is their creepy, cringe-inducing leader. Although it was a little surprising to hear the President say the word…he was absolutely right and he made it clear to any simpleton listening that just because you do not use that word does not mean you aren't a racist. 6 Link to comment

I got new shoes! and I"m hanging out with Kimberly Locke!! Okay...ya got me and I watched that pathetic attempt. It made me wonder (yet again) WHY Sherri doesn't wear shoes that fit. You can see a space in the back where they're too large. Does she borrow others' shoes? Does she get them FREE and doesn't care what size they are? 4 Link to comment
susieq147 June 22, 2015 Share June 22, 2015 (edited) Regarding Sherri and her shoes: She is an idiot. I believes she was way overacting and doing poorly I might add. And as Former Nun said why didn't she buy shoes that fit? Any women knows when you wear heels that high they need to fit properly. And once again with the tattered jeans. Give it a rest Sherri. You are no longer a 20something. Regarding Elisabeth: STFU. President Obama used that word to illustrate a point he was making. It's not like he was just tossing the word around in casual conversation. I don't believe in censorship but in her case I will make an exception. Nobody needs to hear a word she has to say about anything at any time. Edited June 22, 2015 by susieq147 14 Link to comment
backformore June 22, 2015 Share June 22, 2015 President Obama has been called every racist word you can think of. If he wants to call people out and say that changing it to "N-Word" does NOT mean we've ended racism, he is 100% correct. And part of the message is - if you just stop saying N****R , and substitute some word like "thug" like they do on Fox - if black criminals are thugs, and white criminals are "disturbed loners" - Well, then racism dressed up like something else is still racism. Typical of Fox News idiots, the message got lost, as they focused on the sound byte. 17 Link to comment

NextIteration June 22, 2015 Share June 22, 2015 Honestly, until Fox changed the meaning of the word thug, it used to bring to mind a brass knuckled greaser from the 50s for me. Or maybe a Tommy gun toting gangster. Clearly, I'm getting old. (And obviously both those stereotypes are white!) 9 Link to comment

As someone who doesn't watch this show, the article [here's the link: How Fox & Friends Became The Most Repugnant Show On Fox News] was horrifying but unfortunately unsurprising, except maybe beating Hannity in outrageous remarks. This is Elisabeth's dream job. Over her ten year tenure on The Spew I mostly found her laughable but she seems to have graduated from that to being one third of a truly disgusting trio of co-hosts. The part about Doocy being caught repeating RNC talking points verbatim kind of made me chuckle since Bits used to repeat Geddie's talking points the same way. The Most Repugnant Show on Fox News? I'm certain Hasselbeck has climbed [sunk?] even farther than even she imagined back on the island. Edited June 23, 2015 by Cosmocrush 9 Link to comment

As an atheist myself I don't pray. But if I was a religious person who did pray and take my faith seriously I would be very offended by Sherri constantly attributing everything good in her life to God and prayer. IMO she is one of those holier than thou Christians who think they are special and God takes extra care of them. Like they have his secret cell number or some shit. When she says prayer helped her get a wig line I wonder how the person who prayed over and over again for a loved one to not die and still lost that person feels. 13 Link to comment

But if I was a religious person who did pray and take my faith seriously I would be very offended by Sherri constantly attributing everything good in her life to God and prayer. As a non-atheist, I tend to pray for strength, for guidance, for God to guide the hand of the surgeons, for me to find peace with whatever outcome happens, etc. I certainly don't use God like a gumball machine: insert prayer, get whatever shiny object I want as as result. I believe prayer brings us closer to whatever supreme being we are praying to. I believe if we just let ourselves get out of the way, good things will happen. On the other hand, Sherri certainly is having a lot of success, so maybe I need to emulate her prayer style! Well, maybe her doggedness and work ethic, which are (I'm serious here) things I admire about her. 4 Link to comment
