One of you Fox News haters see if you can find a clip of any Fox News "anchor" (not an opinion show) acting as ridiculous as this.

Me too, I always get a kick out how CNN tries to convince us what a great job Obama is doing.

Not professional behavior from an anchor. It's almost as if she considered the Palin family a joke ...

But here is a Fox anchor attempting to repeatedly bait George Zimmerman's brother to go after President Obama. He doesn't take the bait, but she keeps on trying. Seriously?

More ... Business anchor interjects his conclusions, disses economic lack of growth during a great recession and gosh knows what other  events are taken out of context or stating facts in a biased manner to fit his political leanings.

More unprofessional behavior with bashing and bias... the guest looks like the professional anchor. Fox's MO seems to be -- we will lead you to what we want you to say, and if you don't, we will interject our opinions while bashing you... not talking about the opinions, but the behavior.

It's getting hot in here .... at least we don't have to listen... have no idea of the backstory. Shirt was so tight it ripped open? It's one way of making business entertaining...

No he didn't. But the "Presidential" comments to which she was referring were ludicrous and wholly inappropriate. Given the ability of the President to potentially, inadvertently influence the mindset of the jury pool, it was certainly genuinely newsworthy. It's also worth noting that while you may not care for her questions, she was completely calm and professional in asking them. She definitely kept pushing long after it was clear that he wasn't going there though..... I figured @MS256 's question would keep you busy for a couple of hours. ;-)

Why did you go on about the presidential comments when we are discussing anchor behavior? Focus, man, focus! :-D Her baiting is, c'mon, a method to bash ... not cool.

It took about 30 seconds to find Fox Lunacy -- what took time was the immense selection of lunacy.

Hey, tried to avoid politics, which is why I did not pick on Stuart (?) Varney even more ...As to the Palins, I won't say anything, Same w/ Pres O, let's not go there. :whistle: Focusing on anchor behavior...

I guess @David in FL had a good point if you think those two examples are even close to equal. We see the world through completely different lenses.

A gap between the far left and the far right has always been there but fortunately most people were in the middle and far from either side. Individuals voted for JFK, Jimmy Carter,  Ronald Reagan and George Bush and never thought they had changed their views.

Today are more like two sides with the gap (that seems to be getting wider) in the middle.

I can't comment on the clips from Fox Business because I have never watched it and don't know the objectives or formats. I figured it was a business opinion/entertainment channel.

We're talking news, right? and professionalism, right?

One is making light of a family that has frankly, put themselves in the news. I don't think the Palin thing was news but in the age of newsatainment, they put it on the air.

The other is trying to repeatedly provoke a bashthePresident fest.

While I feel badly for the Palins, the expletives were amusing.

What Fox was doing was its usual bashfest.

Which one is trying to provoke more damage?

Like I said we see the world entirely differently and would likely never agree on much of anything political. I don't see a "bashfest" there at all.

The funny part is that I would guess that you are considered fairly centrist among the left wing community and I know for a fact that I am considered left of center among my right wing friends...and yet you and I are still miles apart.

Heck I refuse to watch Shawn Hannity because I think he wouldn't give President Obama credit if he saved an old lady from getting hit by a car, but he is "can't miss TV" and a hero among my friends.

My thinking has evolved on politics since 2012 ... should have re-thought it years ago.

It's not worth the effort.

I know what the Fox anchor is doing ... she's an attorney. She is trying to manipulate the interviewee and get him to say what she wants ... haven't we had enough of this crap?

It's not as if I'm liberal, whatever that is ... it's different for everyone ... I consider myself  open minded. Heck, I've got an MBA, and was a CPA before I was an attorney ... those are conservative credentials, whatever conservative is... I just put away the doctrine and believe in being practical to an extent... For example, extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures -- case in point -- the great recession. Had to let go of conservative ideas and endorse the spending measures. Why? It was either spend to stimulate or wait a very long time for confidence and business to recover. Look at Europe -- still suffering and trying to bring us down. They went with austerity ... not working. Of course, once you get the economy going, then spending must go down and/or revenues must increase...

Government takes cooperation among people who don't always agree. But if one way is not working, why not try another way?

Both sides have good people ... this Party crap ... is crap. And it is bringing us down.

As to Bristol Palin ... I don't think anything less of her for cussing like a sailor. So what's the big deal? It was amusing. She sounds like me on a bad day. Can't fault her for that. We're not perfect.

Comments deleted and @Mr. Desmond and @Phil McGleno have been restricted from the thread. I will share one of Phil's on-topic points: the "shirt ripped open" image (which isn't actually a video) above is simply an altered photo. It's Photoshopped. That's why there's no actual video of her ripping her shirt open. Seems pretty common sense to me that if it had actually happened, there would be video of her doing it. The bar for "restrict from thread" is usually pretty high, but is lower in the Grill Room as it's the off-topic section of the forum. Carry on, but bear in mind: we're here because we are passionate about golf. If you find yourself disliking a fellow member because of their political views, I suggest you spend more time outside the Grill Room section of the site. Thank you.

Yeah.

All so called "news" channels are bias, some more blatant than others.

But at least Fox News gives the other side a fighting chance to make an arguement.

I would say that depends on the show. Some are more interruptive, while others are more accommodating towards those who come on the show.

If I ever meet a liberal I'm going to ask them why they feel like everybody on the planet deserves sympathy and a voice (no matter what crimes and atrocities they have committed) but want to shut up any voice that disagrees with them???

Unless of course if they are afraid of a group. Then it's crickets.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 ·

      Thanks for the insight. This is not on my radar, and I am not sure it is something I need to worry about right now or if at all. I am a bit more concerned with swing length right now. Maybe tilt affects that, but most likely not to the degree in which I overswing 😉.

      Long Iron

      By Micho ·

      speed blades don't have a 3iron that I know of. My 4 is already 20* . I love it as it is super straight. I went to golf Galaxy to try some hybrids and 2 iron my numbers and spin were bouncing all over the place. wasn't hitting good that day. I did hit the 4 ping 430 hybrid 215yds a  couple of times but never got consistency anywhere. It was all me mis hitting that day.The GAPR is something to think about and would like to try one sometime. in the meantime I had a 16* Adams Gold pro hybrid I was using. I took it out, choked up on it to hit it like an iron and hit it 185 into the wind and 230 with wind at my back. I am gonna ride with this awhile and see what I got. Looks promising from 1st outing.

      U.S. Open Qualifying - How Would Your Course Hold up?

      By DaveP043 ·

      My home course is Stoneleigh GC in Round Hill VA.  The course would get murdered, from the back tees its only about 6800 yards, and there's really not room to stretch it out. There would effectively be no par-5s, and several of the par-4s would be reachable.  For contrast, local qualifying in my area is often held at Woodmont CC in Maryland, which played to over 7300 yards this year.  It took 134 (-8) to qualify for the US Open.

      Long Iron

      By ChetlovesMer ·

      If you like Taylormade, they have produced GAPR clubs for several years now. They are not-quite-hybrids... but close. They come in Lo, Mid and Hi varieties which vary in how much they look like an iron. The Lo is almost a chunky iron. The Hi looks very hybrid-esque. The Mid is somewhere in between.  Since they've made them for a while now and come out with new variations on them every year, you can probably get a slightly used one at a pretty good deal. They change the color and tweak them here and there, but they aren't that much different. If money is no object go get fitted for one that gets you your 200 yards consistently.  If the GAPR doesn't work for you Taylormade UDI and DHY might be more your cup of tea. These are slightly more iron-y than the GAPR's.  Incidentally Ping also makes a similar product theirs is called a crossover.  Basically, all the big brands have something like this. Just search out Utility Irons and you should get plenty of options.
