Guests Blast Fox News During Fox News Interviews

These folks took ripping Fox News to a whole new level — they did it live on Fox News.

Transcript

00:00Fox News is not real news, and we're not a reporter. I talk to real news only.

00:14The FBI's reputation has taken a big hit because the President of the United States,

00:18with his acolytes, has lied about it constantly.

00:22And in the face of those lies, a whole lot of good people who watch your network believe that nonsense.

00:27That's a tragedy. That will be undone eventually, but that damage has nothing to do with me.

00:32Do you think we're bad for America? Do you think I'm bad for America?

00:35Fulfilling my role as the designated piñata on Fox News, I want to say...

00:40That's racist.

00:41These are not invaders. Stop using these military analogies.

00:46This is absolutely painful to watch.

00:50What a lot of the media, especially Fox News, has messed up with me,

00:53is they've made it seem like I'm trying to take people's guns and I'm against the Second Amendment.

00:57I don't understand what is so hard to understand about this.

01:00We simply want to save lives and save our democracy. Please stand with us.

01:05It is not uncommon for you all to see one thing.

01:08The only place racism doesn't exist is Fox News and the police department.

01:11That's the only place. That's absolutely true.

01:13That's insulting. You just insulted millions of people watching this channel.

01:16And you know what? I'm insulted by the things I hear on this network, so we're even.

01:20I could care less about insulting people than insult me on a daily basis.

01:23What some people are saying is that the IRS was used at a local level in Cincinnati, maybe other places, to go after me.

01:32Absolutely wrong.

01:33But how do you know that? Because we still don't know what happened there.

01:36Bill, we do. That's not what happened.

01:38Folks have, again, had multiple hearings on this.

01:41I mean, these kinds of things keep on surfacing.

01:44In part because you and your TV station will promote them.

01:48I think that the emphasis on Benghazi has been extremely political, partly because Fox was operating as a wing of the Republican Party.

01:55All right. Tom Ricks, thanks very much for joining us today.

01:58You're welcome.
