10 Worst Fox News Interviews of the Decade

“Why are you drawing the line at Common?” Stewart asked. “There is a selective outrage machine here at Fox that pettifogs only when it suits the narrative that suits them. This guy is in the crosshairs in a way that he shouldn’t be.”

7. Chris Wallace admits to Fox’s conservative slant, 2011

Fox aired a poorly edited interview from “Fox News Sunday” between host Chris Wallace and Jon Stewart in 2011, portraying Stewart as nonsensical and illogical. The interview was so disingenuous that Stewart called out Fox News on “The Daily Show” and showed footage from the unedited, full video ( available online) to show that Wallace actually admitted that Fox “tells the other side of the story” that more liberal networks don’t offer, rather than being objective.

8. Max Rice pranks “Fox & Friends,” 2012

Immediately following the election, “Fox & Friends” attempted to do a segment on college grads who voted for Obama in 2008 but became Romney supporters in 2012. The show got a hold of Max Rice, who in fact had dropped out of the University of Texas, but lied to Fox News to see if they’d do any fact-checking (they did not).

“Why am I supporting Mitt Romney?” he said. “I lost a basketball game to a friend of mine.”

“Okay, so it sounds like you’re not being very serious,” said anchor Gretchen Carlson, before she cut the interview short.

9. Bill O’Reilly calls Alan Colmes a liar, 2013

Although the hot-tempered O’Reilly later apologized, in March the “O’Reilly Factor” host resorted to screaming at guest and political commentator Alan Colmes during a debate on President Obama’s spending cuts.

“Hold it. Hold it. Because now I’m getting teed off at you. Give me one damn program he said he’d cut,” said O’Reilly.

“He has cut entitlements. He’s cut–”

“Not entitlements! [slams fist on desk] One program!”

“Why are you yelling? What are you yelling for?”

“Because you’re lying. You are lying here,” yelled O’Reilly.

10. Bill Cunningham tells Tamara Holder to know her place as a woman, 2013

“Hannity” hosted one of Fox’s latest outbursts of misogyny and anger when frequent guest Bill Cunningham erupted at contributor Tamara Holder in a debate over the perjury investigation of Attorney General Eric Holder. “Wait a minute. You shut up. Know your role and shut your mouth,” said Cunningham. Holder replied, “My role as a woman?”

“Yeah. Yeah,” he said.
