Why did these Fox News hosts crack sexist jokes about a female pilot partaking in bombing ISIS targets & positions?

Question

This is a heroic woman helping us fight a common enemy, and these two Fox News clowns have to make jokes:

“After she bombed it, she couldn’t park it,” Gutfield cracked.

Bolling then chimed-in with, “Would that be considered boobs on the ground or no?”

Answer 1

Well, Fox News isn't even owned by an American. Rupert Murdoch is some rich, old foreign guy.



That is quite typical of Fox taking their war against women to the airwaves. They are too ignorant to realize, that when they bash women, it is free campaign advertising for the democratic party.

Answer 2

Because YOU have to ignore the context of where this was said so you can play the "offense" card! If it was Gutfield and Bolling, then it was "The Five", a LIGHT-HEARTED look at news events, even poking fun at it. Gutfield takes a comedic approach to the topics. Your need to find fault to this degree is pathetic. This is as pathetic as those who slammed Robin Williams for being "anti-gay" or anti-[insert group here] because of his comedy routines.



Can't your positions hold up under scrutiny without resorting to cheap distortions like this?

Answer 3

That is outrageous! If that happened in the UK those two idiots would be off air for good with their career in tatters. Have Americans never heard of sexism?



That woman has more intelligence and 'balls' than the two of them put together. If I was American I'd be ashamed of them.

Answer 4

Because it's fox 'news'. These are the same people who have repeatedly blamed rape victims for being raped, kidnapped children for being kidnapped and sexually abused. Only people who cheerlead 'leaders' like Rush Limbaugh (women who support comprehensive health insurance are 'sluts') and Ann Coulter (women shouldn't be allowed to vote....9/11 wives are media whore$) take Fox News seriously.

Answer 5

Idiocy is to be expected from Fox. Isn't that what the channel is all about? Spewing idiocy to idiots?



Anyone taking Fox seriously......clearly does not have two functioning brain cells.

Answer 6

You people have absolutely no sense of humor which is surprising being as you re-elected Obama. It took you a whole day and a half to post this; the show was on like Tuesday.

Answer 7

'Cause they're idiots. They're completely clueless about the fact that women are just as capable of squeezing a trigger button as men are. And women can be just as mean as men.



It's just another conservative insult towards women - one that they will pay for dearly in November.

Answer 8

It's because they agree with the isis platform. If I where a female bombing pilot I would ensure that none of them get their virgins because of being killed by women.

Answer 9

It's all part of the conservative War Against Women

Answer 10

There are people a little bit below the intellectual par in the media, has been for years. As a person who steadily digests the MSNBC pabulum, I would think you would be used to it.

Answer 11

Just like CNN these hosts feel they have to laugh, giggle, cackle and try to make as many comical remarks as possible. It's pathetic. In the last decade news has become entertainment.

Answer 12

Does this surprise you? They're goofballs. They talk so much patriotism, but when we finally have an unlikely ally all they can do is poke fun. Neanderthal, gun-obsessed imbeciles.

Answer 13

Because they're conservative a$$holes, and casual sexism is cool with their target audience, age 65 to corpse.

Answer 14

I bet neither of those two idiots ever served in the military

Answer 15

They are a bunch of chickenhawks, and envy anyone who isn't a coward.

Answer 16

Because they're sexist.

Answer 17

Its Fox news. There are no real journalists working there. They are anti American!!!

Answer 18

I have more respect for women than faqqots do for real men. I have a problem with limp wristed Obama causing things in Iraq and Syria to escalate for months in the first place.

Answer 19

They are sexist.

Answer 20

CONS ARE DENSE AND THEY ARE SCUM. CONS ARE JUST S*HI*T AS PEOPLE. JUST S*H*I*T!

THEY ARE THE ISIS OF AMERICA -- CONS ARE JUST PURE S*H*I*T
