In addition to railing on about non-existent migrant caravans, Fox news has also spent
a lot of time over the past two days, trashing both Jimmy Kimmel and president Joe Biden
for agreeing to do an interview with Jimmy Kimmel.
That of course is actually going to air this evening on Jimmy Kimmel's ABC late night talk
show.
So here is just a selection of what Fox news host had been saying.
According to the daily beast, uh, Fox and friends host Brian kill Mead predicted Kimmel
would go too soft on the president, former Trump spokesperson.
Kay MC andan declared it a bad choice.
Fox business anchored Degan McDowell called the interview emblematic of the quote, land
of insanity in which we all live the land of insanity in which we all live.
So Monday evening, Jimmy Kimmel does what Jimmy Kimmel does best and he just exposed
the hypocrisy and flat out lunacy of what Fox news actually likes to talk about.
So Jimmy Kimmel fired back saying quote, oh, I see what I do is insane.
You guys telling us we should R PE teachers to protect kids that makes sense.
Tucker Carlson, giving Vladimir Putin a reach around ever other night, sane president on
a late night talk show.
Insane.
Got it.
He's right.
As, as per usual.
And I love talking about Jimmy Kimmel because I love what he's doing.
I think it is great bringing politics, political news and humor to the general public.
I think that is a great service to this country.
Just like Seth Myers does, but here's the thing president's going on late night talk
shows is not a new thing.
It's just something Republican presidents refuse to do because they can't handle it.
Right?
They're all little crybaby snowflakes and this, by the way, isn't even the first late
night appearance that Joe Biden has made since becoming president.
What?
16 months ago, 17 months ago, he's already done both Jimmy Fallon and, uh, Seth Myers
via zoom.
Of course he wasn't in studio I guess, but he, he did those shows too.
Barack Obama did the late night talk shows.
He went on the daily show.
I think pretty sure he did.
I think Joe Biden did too.
Like that.
That's what you do, right?
You, you want to talk to as many people as possible.
If you are the president of the United States, hell Barack Obama even sat down for his first
real interview, like as president of the United States with bill O'Reilly of Fox news.
That was the first big interview Obama did after winning the white house Obama, wasn't
afraid to talk to anybody.
President Biden seems unafraid to talk to anybody.
And as I've
Always said, you are talking to an audience that isn't necessarily massive political news
consumers.
So you get to talk to people that otherwise aren't paying attention to MSNBC or CNN or
Fox or hell even, you know, internet shows like this.
They're just normal people going about their lives looking for a late night laugh, but
Hey, they get to hear from the president of the United States.
Now that's a good thing.
We want those things to happen.
We want presidents to be accessible.
We don't want them to be like Donald Trump thinking they're way up high, up there on
their pedestal thinking they're above all of the rest of us.
I don't think Biden has that problem.
He's done a lot of things I disagree with.
I hope Kimmel doesn't go too soft on him.
I would like him to get some real answers, but at the same time, this isn't a political
show.
Jimmy Kimmel is not an investigative reporter.
He is an entertainer.
So I don't think he's gonna go super hard on him because that's not what his format
is.
If Biden were to go on 60 minutes.
Yeah.
I would expect them to ask some tough questions.
If he were to go on any other show, a political show, ask him the tough questions.
This one's entertainment, Sue, the American public, assure them that you have their backs,
calm them in these times of uncertainty, maybe make a joke or two.
There's nothing wrong with that.
Sometimes in fact, it's the best thing that we can have a little bit of laughter during
dark times, but Fox news doesn't want that.
They don't want president Biden being viewed as a human being.
They understand how dangerous that is for the public to see him in a calm, relaxed setting.
They might actually get to like 'em.
And if they do that well, then Republicans are in big trouble.
