Business Insider: Fox News Host Wonders If Female Fighter Pilot Bombing In Syria Counts As 'Boobs On The Ground'
Two Fox News co-hosts just ridiculed a fighter pilot for being a woman.

During the Wednesday airing of "The Five," co-hosts Greg Gutfeld and Eric Bolling made fun of Arab Emirates Maj. Mariam Al Mansouri, who is participating in the coalition airstrikes against the Islamic State jihadist group.

“Problem is, after she bombed it, she couldn’t park it," Gutfeld said.

"Would that be considered boobs on the ground, or no?" asked Bolling.

i concur..there might be a potential fallout from thier comments no doubt:faint:

Nothing'll happen to Messrs. Gutless & Boil...why, Moose?
Because Fox News is the media arm of the Republican Party and as the saying goes, "Its' Okay If You're A Republican" (a/k/a IOKIYAR) to say stuff like they did. :mad::mad:

Now, if it had been someone on the Left who'd said that, it'd be Katie Bar The Door down time...

Nonsense! Fox is more diverse in opinions and ideologies then any other station. Fox has hardcore conservatives, libertarians, republicans, wishy washy republicans, liberals, communists posing as liberals.

None of the other stations have anything even close to a true conservative, republican or libertarian. They lean a certain way no doubt about it but at least they have the guts to have all opinions shared unlike the others.

Liberty, please put away the Fixed Noise kool-aid...please. There's maybe 1 liberal of note on Fox News - well, 2 if you count Graham Beckel's brother - so to say they're the most diverse news-source is to stretch the bounds of suspension of disbelief to Orwellian levels, a/la "Oceania has always been at war with Eurasia..."

Now, there is diversity at Fox...if your definition is akin to that of Margaret Atwood's A Handmaid's Tale...

No kool aid here I think they are not even conservative enough. But no other channel shows the many different sides of a opinion or has any real guts to bring on as guest or full time employees on there network. With those other new networks Its liberal only with a few token republican that are just rhinos on occasions.

In a perfect world, Nebulous, those two (Messrs. Gutless & Boil) would be locked into a room with a bunch of female fighter pilots; my guess is those two would learn to keep their mouths shut...then again, we are talking Fox News, so it may be hopeless for those two dolts.

Come on even my wife thought that was funny and knew it was just a silly joke. Geesh!

That wasn't the point, Liberty...the point was, you've got men (and women) fighting overseas in our name (and the name of several other countries) and the least they could've done was pay them a little respect but no, they got to throw down a couple of frat-boy jokes. And you wonder why the Fox demographic is getting older and dumber every year...with talent like Gutless & Boil, who would watch 'em anyway?

Ok, I didn't laugh though. I personally thought those comments were unnecessary.

No the point is liberals need to stop being so sensitive about every little thing. I have a niece in the military and a family full of veterans of women and men and I know for a fact my niece who is deployed would have laughed over it. And Then you obviously do not watch the show because even Beckel a flaming liberal does the same kind of jokes and we laugh. Its a group of five people who have all became good friends with fun camaraderie and its with a liberal, libertarian, two conservatives and a rhino republican.

And I don't know about any demographic but they constantly beat all the channels combined every day and there numbers just keep growing. And this is from two days ago.

Setting aside the statistics part of your comment, Liberty, the point I was trying to make in the opening post was that there are both men & women serving overseas, performing combat missions for both the U.S. and our allies, yet what do we see from Fox News are a couple of frat-boy jokes and its' that kind of attitude that frankly ticks me off, so yes, I'll gladly take the label of overly sensitive because someone has to, my friend.
 
please our troops know full well and mostly believe his ideology that these people support them and are smarter then the average pussy offended at every little joke or comment in today's world of over the top feminism. For the other half this about hating this man's ideology. Otherwise I would expect to see daily posts of the things Become says on that show to women.
 
If it was their sister, mother, etc. serving, the two idiots who made the childish joke wouldn't be laughing. Yes, Fox News is an intellectually stimulating and diverse panel of discussion. / sarcasm

I have niece deployed I am very close to and I laughed. She will to when I share it with her. If I want rigid people with absolutely no humor in them I will listen or watch pbs.
 
Fox is no more or less offensive than the others, liberals just trumpet about it more when it is and offer a pass to their favorites.

To wit:

MSNBC, Thomas Roberts Sorry for Offensive Cinco de Mayo Segment
There was outcry against the segment, which featured sombreros, maracas, and tequila in a way that some viewers thought reinforced stereotypes of Mexicans.

...and as I remember, they apologized very quickly for it, so why would it be relevant here? :|
