Shame she thinks pepper spray is something you put on your food.

I appreciate that she's well educated and not an idiot, but she does a fantastic job of coming across as one sometimes.

This one is brilliant - the host cannot get it into her head why the author, a muslim, wrote a book about the historical figure Jesus.

Note that Reza himself is not free from scrutiny, though it is unfortunate that his own spin is not addressed by the interviewers being more informed.

He is quick to provide Turkey as evidence that "Muslim states" do not discriminate against women, neglecting the fact that it has been a secular state for nearly 100 years, and the rather important implications of that.

He also dismisses the atheist views of Dawkins and Harris as "they haven't studied religion as much as him". A sure sign he knows he could not win an argument with them on the merits of his own arguments.

Dim bulbs in CNN/Fox do not validate the views of Reza.

You can't help but think that girl news anchors and weather girls (that's not 'whether'), especially the inane ones that actually apologise for the rain, think it's their big break for global stardom in the "I'm ready Mr. DeMille" tradition.

To much editorializing, discussion panels, and opinion; not enough factual reporting.

They are not journalist or reporters, they are presenters

You can sense the pause, while they listen to the next question being fed into their ears by the production team..they don't listen to the answer, they simply repeat the bks being fed to them.....while their "guest speaks" they are busy loading their shotgun for the next attack.

It's all parts of the over dramatisation, shallow, biased reporting.....it's "Sunday sport TV"

They are the the young, right wing, good looking equivalent of George Galloway.

Did you see the ISIS flag debacle at the gay pride march...it was a flag with dildos ion, ....but in the crazed eyes of these hate seeking dim wits it must have been Arabic writing , and because they couldn't read it , it must have said evil stuff..

Crazed witch burners .....they bring shame to a what was a really valuable profession ..Investigative journalism

We do have Kay Burley over here though, so perhaps we shouldn't be too harsh on them.

We may all complain about the BBC, but it is an absolute godsend compared to the ste they get over the pond.

In fairness now she actually described it as 'derived from pepper we put on our food'. Which technically is totally incorrect, it comes from chilis, but generally she's spot on.

Politically I think of myself as centre-right, leaning more to the right. Five minutes of watching Fox News and I feel like they'd consider me to be a commie peacenik tree-hugger biggrin

It was Megyn Kelly who said that Santa Claus and Jesus are white men and that the existence of Jesus is "verifiable fact".
