This...hysterical! I laughed my way through the whole thing. Do we really have an ally at Fox News?
I don't know what was funnier, when the reporter was telling the woman she was going to hell, or when she told her she was crazy. And then the kook calling the reporter a bimbo. Priceless!
In all seriousness though, I do wonder if the reporter got in trouble with the producers. That was a bit far, but fair, even for Fox News.

All I can say is damn! eek! The Reporter definitely seems to have alot of leeway here though. Which brings me up to a point. It seems that the trend lately in talking heads/Reporters/Anchors is just this, that they seem to be, and are making more and more of their own opinions known, and injected into their commentaries on tv. Case in point, Lou Dobbs of CNN. I don't watch him alot but know of him. It seems like lately he has been making alot of commentaries all over tv about his views, and those on immigration. Somebody can correct me if I am wrong, but I don't think he was this opinionated say a year or so ago.

Well, it's great to see Fox News finally live up to its "Fair and Balanced" tagline. That interview finally balanced out the evil speech that woman spewed.
I seriously doubt the producers lambasted the reporter. She did her job and probably got people talking about them again. I think she did her job.

There are a couple of these types of interviews circulating around. Dealing with this ladies group, and other groups. There's one where a male reporter just totally rips a guest a new one. Almost like this one.
I hate these people that are pulling this crap. Have your 15 minutes yet? Good, don't let the door hit you on the way out.

WOW! eek! I am so glad that the reporter went after her. What she and her group is doing is just disgusting and falsely hiding behind the Bible makes it even more horrible. I liked it when the reporter told her that she was going to Hell!

WOW !! you go girl!!!
I can only assume that her producers knew in advance what was likely to happen during the interview but still wish I could have seen the looks on their faces. Would also like to know what feedback Fox got on the interview.

Leave it to Fox News to give airtime to the idiots at WBC. They're the Flat Earth Society of fundamentalist Christianity. And you can be damned sure that if they limited their demonstrations purely to the funerals of gay men, there'd be nary a peep of outrage.

Indeed, while I liked the passion she brought towards the WBC rep I'd have to believe that calling out one of these people is like railing against a Klansman. What person would possibly defend them?

While I definitely do not have an ounce of respect for those people......
That was probably the worst 'interview' I have ever seen. A "reporter" telling someone they are going to hell? Ummm, real professional. There are much more appropriate ways of interviewing someone that you may not agree with....yelling, calling them names, and lecturing them is not one. Asking tough questions is. And like someone said, why on earth even give these people attention.
Fox News is a bunch of garbage.
I think it's funny just because Fox is always quick to freak out about any gay rights, but then they defend this just cause it involves the military.
