Fox News' Gretchen Carlson took some time to talk with her former nanny, Michele Bachmann, about the Congresswoman's planned "Town Hall" meeting against Health Care reform that will be held Thursday on the steps of the Capitol Building.
Carlson's softball interview started with her telling the audience when and where the event will be held then wrapping things up by promising Bachmann that everybody could get more information and a link to the lawmakers website at FoxNews.com.
Wouldn't it be nice if Carlson and the gang at Fox and Friends were just as "Fair and Balanced" when Democrats like Anthony Weiner come on to talk about Heath Care reform. Compare the tone of Bachmann's appearance on Fox and Friends with that of Weiner's in the clips below.

Stop whining. You are pitiful. If you don't think the interviews are "fair and Balanced" then stop listening. Listen to MSNBC or CBS or ABC or NBC or CNN and you will get "fair and balanced" from the other side. There is a reason FOX has more listeners than all the others combined and if you haven't figured out why you really should stop listening.
Not only is Carlson not objective in her interview, she actually brings up the idea of going after Blue Dog Democrats!! Even the nut Bachman had not thought of it until it was mentioned by Carlson!! So much for "Fair and Balanced"
I think congressman Weiner did an awesome job answering all their objections and pointing out the hypocrisy in their stand against the public option. As for Medicare, I have that as my only insurance. Let me make some information perfectly clear that those who don't have it might not know. First of all, it is not free to seniors or those on SSD like myself. I pay monthly for it. I do have the option of a Medicare Advantage plan which is the government subsidised private plan. Most all have an additional cost over and above my medicare premium and not a single one offers more coverage then I get from medicare. Not just that, most have a bigger restriction in the procedures I get. I have had the advantage plan with 3 different companies and all of them have rejected mandated procedures necessary for my survival. Since I went back to medicare only I have not had any procedure or medication that the doctors required denied. Yes, in some rural areas, the medicare reimbursement rate needs to be changed, but that is something that can be fixed very easy. If only those republicans who claim to want to fix it would just stop fighting the changes.
Der!
