Last night on MSDNC:
Flashback: Remember this from 2012?
“Fox & Friends” aired a nearly-four-minute video about President Barack Obama on Wednesday, drawing the ire of critics who say it looked, felt and sounded like a political attack ad.
“We decided to take a look back at the president’s first term to see if it lived up to hope and change,” co-host Gretchen Carlson said while introducing the video.
The video, produced by Fox News associate producer Chris White, attacks Obama’s record on job creation and the unemployment rate—and includes a dramatic, “Star Wars”-esque soundtrack. It aired twice on Wednesday’s show.
“The package that aired on ‘Fox & Friends’ was created by an associate producer and was not authorized at the senior executive level of the network,” Bill Shine, executive vice president of programming at Fox News, said in a statement to Yahoo News. “This has been addressed with the show’s producers.”
The video “resembled propaganda films from 1930′s Europe,” Baltimore Sun television critic David Zurawik wrote after the segment first aired. “And the remarkable thing was the the witless crew on the couch that serves as hosts for this show had the audacity to present it as journalism and congratulate the producer who put it together.”
And this?
Ed Schultz laid into Fox News on his show Wednesday night for airing an anti-Obama video on its morning program.
“Fox & Friends” aired a loaded, four-minute video that could easily double as a GOP attack ad criticizing President Obama’s first term in office. The video was aired multiple times throughout the morning show. The producer who created the video was lauded by the show’s hosts.
Fox News later issued a statement distancing themselves from the ad, attributing the video to an associate producer and saying that it had not been approved for air by the highest level of network executives. The network also pulled the video from the show’s main website and aggregation site, FoxNation.com.
Something tells me the reaction to MSNBC’s will be quite different.
