Joan Rivers fighting with Fox News? Well?
Was Joan Rivers telling a joke or was she just making a truthful statement, when made her Sarah Palin remark. which marked her as no friend of Fox News?
Ms. Rivers is a comic who tells jokes. If she was joking when she said critics were right to blame Sarah Palin for the Tucson tragedy, she hit a very tender nerve at Fox News, During the Tucson Tragedy or Massacre a Democratic Congresswoman, who Ms. Palin had targeted with the cross hairs of a gun sight, was shot, six other Americans were killed, and thirteen other Americans wounded. Joking or truth telling whichever it was -- Sarah Palin's, protector and promoter, jumped to defend its prize employee. Fox News promptly canceled Ms. Rivers' appearance was On Fox and Friends, telling her in so many words, "you ain't no friend of Fox." See the video.
From the Huffington's Post -- Joan Rivers " tweeted on Wednesday with her immense displeasure with FOX News, whom she said banned her after saying on Sunday night that network contributor Sarah Palin deserved blame for the shootings in Arizona and that she "is just stupid and a threat."Rivers tweeted:
While @melrivers and I were promoting our new @wetv reality show, I made a joke about Sarah Palin that was picked up by @TMZ.
As a result, our appearance on the Fox News Channel tomorrow morning has been canceled.
Outcome: DON'T PISS OFF SARAH PALIN. She's apparently "very powerful," and is obviously still smarting from the end of her reality show.
I was cancelled from Fox for saying Palin is "stupid and a threat".
(Joan River's) outrage didn't end there. Speaking to Rob Shuter of PopEater on his show for HDNet, Rivers was asked whether she would go on the air if FOX asked her back. Her response?
That FOX can "go f**k themselves."
After the heat went down, Fox News later claimed that they were over booked. Overbooked? If you want to believe what Fox says. Well, Ms. Rivers, if she's fighting, and not just joking along, is fighting a skunk.
One can't lose when fighting a skunk, unless one gets to close to it, and engage in hand-to paw-combat. The only successful way to fight a skunk is stand up wind, throw rocks at it or beat it off with a long stick. Yeah, toss jokes at Fox and handle the Fox clowns and buffoons with a long stick?
