VIDEO: Fox News complains about Current TV reporters release

Hannity is a piece if shit! If Bush went over and got these reporters released they would be praising him for months and blowing their loads over each other!

Fox complains about everything.

Another conspiracy theary fom faux. Why is it we had to give something to North Korea maybe Kim has respect Clinton. They saved these girls but this is bullshit. F the Faux crap.

Did the United States of America give up something? Absolutely! We gave up war. How do you think this will look? The world will start thinking we are peace mongers? What happened to the good ole Bush doctrine? Bomb the millions of innocent civilians first, get the dictator, lie about it, and dodge the questions later.

WHat a Nut you are

As usual, The Daily Show nails it when Jon Stewart said "It only took Fox 4 minutes to start dumping on it. Does the sun ever shine during a democratic administration? With Obama in office, now when babies laugh, do you only hear the sound of kittens drowning? Fox was convince despite any evidence confirming that hypothesis that there was a cloud attached to this silver lining"

They couldn't appreciate the fact that 2 reporters had been released, they had to focus on speculations.

As Jon pointed out, if they wanted to know what kind of cost there was associated with the release, they should ask Oliver North who has a show on Fox since he had a lot of experience with it from trading arms for hostages in Iran.

You need to remember that Fox News is the top rated cable news network in the United States. They got there with exactly this type of journalism.

Really, nobody should be all that surprised.

retarded blonde! watch vangaurd and you will know why they went to korea...

Fox, or should I say FAUX News hates everything. Even America. These guys suck, I'm sticking with Current.

Hillary arranged the deal FO FREE.. Bill just went to get them, we knew that before he went.

Fox News seems to be very patriotic to me.

I'm tempted here to echo the "I love fox" sentiment.

I do however feel the need to labour the point - why is this, at this stage, a matter for attack?

At this point in the story, all of the coverage should be revolving around the fact that these two journalists were successfully returned home.

There should, rightly, be an analysis of the diplomatic process involved. Obviously, something was actually given to NK to secure their release in this manner. It might have been a box set of Sesame Street, it might have been the next generation of the F-18. We don't know yet.

The point here, at this stage, isn't that there was a payoff [there obviously and undoubtably was] . Right now, the only relevant piece of information is that the two reporters are safe and secure.

Speaking as one of the relevant people on this issue [I'm on of them dirty furners], I feel safe in saying that this whole story can only be seen as great - a well respected, well regarded American statesman went to a place condemned as devoid of reason and talked his way to getting these girls home.

That is a success. End of. That should be the entirety of the Fox coverage. When they put this sort of antagonistic shit on the air they appear not as patriotic analysts but as vindictive morons.

Love fox news!

Fox News, a.k.a., the Right Wing Propaganda Machine, begins to make me feel it is wasting bandwidth in the airwaves. Fox News is a toxic pollution to journalism.

The more Fox News complains about Current the more validity and more popular Current gets.

Fox News is anything BUT news. It's a pure propaganda machine designed, fabricated, and perpetuated by a bunch of extremists humanoids who proclaim "God" but do evil.

Well after watching that I still don't know what their point is other than having questions about it...
Personally I'm glad Laura and Euna aren't going to be in a North Korean labor camp for twelve years, and I'm glad good ol Bill brought em home.

I AM HAPPY THAT THE TWO JOURNALISTS WERE FREED, IM CURIOUS ON HOW THEY MANAGED TO STRAY INTO NORTH KOREA IN THE FIRST PLACE AND SECOND I WAS WONDERING WHO OWNED THE JET THAT TOOK THEM THERE......PLEASE CHECK OUT WILLIAM SAMPSON BRITISH/CANADIAN EX-PAT THAT WAS LEFT TO ROT BY THE CANADIAN/BRITISH -HE WAS TORTURED AND SPENT 2 1/2 YEARS IN SOLITARY CONFINEMENT........JUST GOES TO SHOW YOU IT MAKES A DIFFERENCE WHO U KNOW FOR SURE....

Hannity is full-on idiot and Dana is the personification of every dumb blonde joke ever told. The clip was misleading as is pretty much everything from Fox News. Which stimulus plan has failed and how is it if the MAJORITY of Americans want health care reform the people have turned against it?

President Clinton did a good thing and I'm sure his presence was an integral part of the deal so the deal couldn't have been DONE before he got there. I'm sure it was a pretty solid chance of success because he wasn't about to go there and fail.

The sad part is some conservatives have to expend so much mental energy trying to find ways to spin success and progress negatively. How much could we accomplish if they'd just shut up. Not even join in or help, just shut up and reap the benefits when all his said and done.

To me this clip looks more comprehensively at the story and that NK was rewarded for illegally taking Laura and Euna.

I'm rather pissed off that they kidnapped them from China and then put them in a hard labor camp - for filming in the direction of their country.

Sean Hannity was only asking questions.
Fox news is treating this as two different actions, one humanitarian - yay they are home safe!!!!!

Then the other, what is Kim going to do with the new propaganda? That should even concern you guys.

And why wasn't Hillary's request on behalf of Obama enough to release our girls?

That should also be a big concern. They were kidnapped and put into labor camps unjustly. Yeah I'm glad they are back, hell yeah! But the whole thing should have never happened.

So Now they want to charge BC with arming them with The Bomb…

Good lord - what the hell is wrong with these people?

What ever happened to professional solidarity? The coverage should be "look, our fellow journalists are free and safe thanks in part to President Clinton, isn't it wonderful", end of discussion.

This Alexis woman seems to have her head screwed on enough to realise that it is at best impolite to look for a negative spin on this.

Laura is a great journalist. Her current videos are informative and unbiased. I am glad she is home safe. As for what KJI was promised in return for the women's release? I hope for the best. KJI is a bad man and I doubt he set them free out of kindness.

seriously Hannity?? You gonna do us like that?...Not everything has to be so difficult...case in point this situation....Bill Clinton is a respectable man around the world and honestly...if anyone couldve got these girls out..it was going to be him...Hannity really is crazy...He acted like Clinton shouldve just went over there without calling and turned to frikkin rambo..plz i'm still waiting to see his punk ass get waterboarded..

hannity is grabbing at straws as per the norm. fox news used to be entertaining to watch for all the silly shit they say and do, but its jumped the shark a long time ago.

they sre soo full of it

Why are so many people opposed to asking questions? Hanity is just a talking head, but the questions he asks are completely legitimate. If a Republican flew to North Korea to do the same, would you not be asking the same questions? I don't believe this is a party issue, just a debate regarding what, if any deal was made in exchange for the release of the two journalists. It's almost a sure bet that Kim Jong Il received something... maybe just some photos with Clinton, but don't you want to know? It's clear that everyone is very thankful for Mr. Clinton returning these two journalists to their families. By the way, did you see how adorable one of their kids is? I'm very saddened by the downright hateful and malicious responses on this thread. Some have even suggested the murdering of Sean Hannity. No, that doesn't seem like progress to me.

Just another person who is so far to the left they don't see middle ground anymore... If its not anti republican or anti conservative they want no parts of it... So jumping all over FOX news is such the typical beginner thing to do...

I love how people feel the need to misinform people with spazztic headlines... nuff said

"Did America give up something?"

Yes, we gave up on journalism for cable news like Fox. Fox news talking heads don't have an ounce of courage like Euna and Laura, and they know it.

Rewarding North Korea for their bad behavior? WHO CARES!

Regardless of any deals that may have been made or publicity that was earned by Kin Jong Ill the only thing that matters here is that two American citizens were spared an unjust sentence in a unjust place. The fact that Fox is making an argument over this isn't surprising but it's definitely sad and pathetic.

FOX is horrible. People deserve to find out what's going on in other countries.

Disinformation. Misleading headline. Bad Dog.

BTW- I don't like Hannity, he is the worst. But they say more than once they are happy with the release, so they didn't complain about the release. Bad headline. They did raise two valid issues, what did Clinton have to give in return and why were they sent there in the first place? It's too bad that Hannity gets the ratings for this.

Welcome back!

Hannity's implications that we negotiated with terrorists to accomplish this are unfounded. First of all he has no idea that we exchanged anything for them. It's possible, but its just speculation. Second of all if we did negotiate with North Korea, we were just doing something that has been done for a very long time. Bush negotiated with militias in Iraq to get them to stop shooting at our soldiers. How much money did we give them? You know people who were actually killing us, unlike North Korea.

I pretty much feel the same way most other people here seem to. No matter what Obama, Clinton(s), liberals in general do, they'll will find a way to tarnish it. Very patriotic.

Sean Hannity's eternally egocentric, xenophobic, mysoginistic frat-boyishness disgusts me. His so-called free speech is not free at all. Even worse, there are impressionable Fox News junkie viewers lapping up every last vile spew that comes out of his mouth. Bill O'Reilly is his equal. Is there any way to stop him (and O'Reilly)? On a brighter note, I AM SO GLAD THAT LAURA AND EUNA ARE BACK HOME SAFE AND SOUND!

Someone people dont understand real journalism and that is what Vanguard is. Reporters like this annoy me. Laura and the Vanguard team are out in the world reporting on issues the rest of the media ignores because they are too busy in their newsroom to get out into the world and see what's going on. This was more about politics than anything else. Im glad their home and I hope they continue to report because unlike Fox News, they are reporting on some important issues and humanitarian crises that would otherwise go unnoticed.

Send them into North korea? They were not sent into North Korea. The complete story is only something they can tell, but I doubt they knowingly walked across the border.

We'll have to wait until they talk if ever but I think it there a lot to this story.

These anti Fox bloggers must be at least twelve years of age or at least have mentality of one...

Where in the video are they complaing about the release? geez are these the same bloggers spreading pailins getting a divorce? lol

I don’t understand what their problem is.

Are they complaining that someone from the other team actually accomplished something?

Hannity is an asshole. Two journalists, two PEOPLE are freed from captivity, from WRONGFUL IMPRISONMENT, and all he can do is find reasons to complain?

Fox News really has no shame at all. Jerks.

Brushwithdeath you stole my thunder..listening to puke news ( aka Fox news) I arrived at the conclusion that if the cure for cancer was discovered by a Democrat, they would find fault with it.
.

It really bothers me how far the conservative wing of the media is willing to go to find something to criticize about a successful negotiation and rescue. Considering the fate of hostages during the Bush administration, it's nice to see a happy ending for a change.

We know in the Reagan years the administration traded guns for drugs(Nicaragua) and weapons for hostages(Iran).

Hannity doesn`t sound very happy. Reporters when Bush was in office lost their heads, literally.

Here is what I learned watching Fox and Friends this morning:

1. Bill Clinton upstaged the president
2. We gave North Korea secret concessions
3. This was planned to divert attention from the Healthcare Bill
4. This incident gives Kim Jong Ill legitimacy and the world sees him as a humanitarian now

If you only watch the Hannity clip you may think that there is no issue here. Try to stomach a full day of Fox News and you will see that they are not happy about this. They will stop to say that the release of Laura and Euna is nice but there will always be a "but" after that statement.

Fox News wants to see this country fail until another NeoCon is in office.

Who ever that chick on the left is my new hero... taking on Hannity in his own house!

There's nothing wrong with this video. It shows all sides.

I'm not Fox News' biggest fan or anything, but the negative way this was posted was quite reactionary.

Surprise Hannity is a douche bag.. He panders to paranoid soccer moms, who fear they have no social voice. I'm not going to suggest like the previous poster that he needs to be killed but i'm still waiting for him to be waterboarded.

FUCK FOX! Current isnt biased main stream media, and thats why they went to the China-North Korea border, TO GET REAL NEWS FROM REAL PEOPLE.... These journalist are better than any and all of the journalist and reporters on fox, cnn, manbc, or any other mainstream media company.
WHO GIVES A SHIT bout Kim JOng Il, lets focus on whats more important

Why should Hillary Clinton be in the picture? Isn’t it obvious? The Obama administration clearly informed that they weren't involved in the negotiations. So why should they send a secretary?

Those pictures won’t change the worlds’ opinion of Kim Il Jong and North Korea. He'll definitely use it for propaganda, but that's nothing new...

Al Gore has no responsibility in this! Why must his association with Current in its founding implicate him in North Korea's kidnapping of two reporters.

I don't see how it is so inconceivable that a investigative reporting program send its best journalists into a place that happens to be dangerous. Current Vanguard knew what they were doing in sending them and to question their actions is absurd.

It was purposeful for Bill Clinton to make his trip a personal one, unassociated directly with the State department. If Hillary had accompanied him, it would have been a whole different issue, but this didn't happen.

Excellent post, very informative...........It is refreshing to see intelligent, respectful, thoughtful Americans represent our Country in a dignified manner!!!!!!!!!!

Watching them struggle for a way to criticize success is disgusting.

good vid but definitely misinformative..they aren't angry they just don't like like the fact that we gave the koreans any leverage..anyway i don't think kim had any right to detain them..but then again it also seems all they want to do is put down success so yeah

I watched this video and I didn't see that they were unhappy about the release of these reporters.
More like they were nervous about what was given to kim jon ill in return.
Are you just trying to stir up ire against fox?
Your post is misinformation, im votin it down.

They won't have the guts to take those same words on Current that is, its why they are ONLY on Fox News...
