The words "intelligence" and "Trish Regan" should not be used in the same sentence.

I guess someone didn't do their homework before enviting this guy to appear - turns out to be a Bernie supporter all the way. Priceless!

or what others might call "facts."

I wonder if she had someone yelling in her ear to redirect him when it was going south.

Her "Wow!" should be proof to anyone (and I know we know this) that Fox is incredibly biased.

and you CANT get "bogged down" on just the initial question. I've seen dozens of interviewers use the same term. She wanted to move on to his VZ experience before time ran out.
The "wow!" just meant she wasnt aware he was a Bernie supporter. She didnt cut him off and finished the interview
I dont see how anyone doesnt see the bigger picture here; his statement was a BIG slam on Hillary more than anything!! Is everyone so focused on Fox that they werent listening to what this guy was saying about Clinton??

We were expecting a bashing without the caveats. I think this guy pulled a fast one on FOX. He supports Bernie and Bashes Clinton. It was a BRILLIANT maneuver.

No difficulty in understanding that the RWNJ on FUX wanted to shut Thor Halvorssen down as quickly as possible...Yep, his last appearance on FUX...

Where do they recruit these "Fair and Balanced" hosts?

I could just hear the frantic producer in her ear going: "What! Whoa whoa---this isn't on script---interrupt him...get him to say something else!!!"

And they call it "news".

The person who has no clue what Socialism is, or what the word Socialism means, or what Sanders is about, is the idiot conducting this interview.
And if she doesn't like being called an "Idiot" she should stop acting like one.

Regan said "wow" when he said he backed bernie. Whoop de do. No, she didnt expect that. But then He went on to slam Hillary VERY hard, as well as the failure in Venezuela, as well as income redistribution.
The whole interview is something that Hillary people would want to disappear, but I doubt anyone at Fox is sweating it at all.

Tue Mar 8, 2016, 06:33 AM

helped to derail Clinton (someone they clearly have bigger issues with as they assume she would win against their candidate)
So I'm not at all surprised to hear this coming from one of their mouthpieces on Fox.
They are also suggesting Hillary is a dictator.
I think we'll be hearing more of the same from others on Fox.

Here's the Rove strategy article:

I cannot stop laughing. The anchor tried so hard to salvage the situation and make him say something evil about socialism but she still failed.

I mean, she's obviously right, some people have no idea what "socialism", assuming, that she is a member of the class, people.
