Carlson: ‘You Don’t Hear As Much About The Scrutiny’ Of Pelosi Because Conservative Women ‘Get More Attacks’
Carlson: ‘You Don’t Hear As Much About The Scrutiny’ Of Pelosi Because Conservative Women ‘Get More Attacks’
On Fox and Friends this morning, the hosts discussed a recently released Fox News poll that measures the favorable opinions that Americans have about former Alaska governor Sarah Palin and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. The poll found that 47 percent of respondents had a favorable opinion of Palin while only 28 percent had a favorable opinion of Pelosi.
“Also, 61 percent of you feel that governor Sarah Palin, former governor, has been treated unfairly by the mainstream media,” commented Steve Doocy. Co-host Gretchen Carlson suggested that Pelosi’s numbers are low even though she doesn’t get much “scrutiny” because “if you’re a conservative woman, you get more attacks“:
CARLSON: It’s interesting because even though that number shows that Pelosi has a much higher unfavorable rating, you don’t, you don’t at least hear as much about the scrutiny of Nancy Pelosi as you did about Sarah Palin. And that may go back to that whole age old argument that if you’re a conservative woman, you get more attacks than if you have liberal points of view.
Watch it:
The contention that the media treats conservative women worse than liberal women is conventional wisdom on the right. But Carlson’s claim that scrutiny of Nancy Pelosi is under the radar is surprising considering her own network’s often times downright mean treatment of the first female speaker of the House:
– On the November 10 edition of Fox and Friends, for instance, radio host Laura Ingraham said that “Pelosi basically did everything except sell her own body” to pass health care reform.
– On Nov. 4 on the O’Reilly Factor, Dennis Miller said Pelosi had a “sub-reptilian intellect” and likened her face to a “lizard laying on a hot rock.”
– On October 30, Fox and Friends laughingly re-enacted protesters calling for Pelosi to “burn in hell.”
– On October 21, Bill O’Reilly mocked Pelosi, saying, “If there wan’t Botox involved, with all due respect, there might have been more expression” on her face.
– On August 6, Glenn Beck joked about putting poison in Pelosi’s wine.
– On May 20, Hannity guest Jay Thomas said, “I think if you waterboarded Nancy Pelosi, she wouldn’t admit to plastic surgery.”
– On May 19, Dennis Miller called her a “train wreck” and a “shrieking harridan magpie.”
On Fox, a progressive woman like Pelosi doesn’t just get “scrutiny,” she gets insults.

When was the last time Gretchen Carlson was hanged in effigy?
Or Palin? Or Ingraham? Or ANY conservative woman?
November 20th, 2009 at 12:12 pmDidn’t falafel-man say the other day that he wanted to see her “bobbing up and down in Boston Harbor?”
November 20th, 2009 at 12:14 pmWahhh wahhh wahhh….those poor white wing women….The libs say mean things about them and their hubbies cheat on them with gay men, male pages and hookers.
November 20th, 2009 at 12:14 pmThis story does not merit any attention. We already know what Fox and its polls are going to show. These polls will not get any coverage outside of Fox.
November 20th, 2009 at 12:15 pmIt’s not about liberal vs. conservative.
It’s intelligence vs. rampant stupidity.
November 20th, 2009 at 12:16 pmConsider that Palin is constantly self promoting and attacking people? Palin is on a national bookselling tour, for Christ’s sake. Interviewing just about anywhere she can.
Fox – where reality isn’t an issue.
November 20th, 2009 at 12:16 pmThere’s also a false analogy here:
Pelosi get’s a heap of criticism because she’s the Speaker of the House (which typically gets more criticism than any other position in gov’t, other than the President).
The conservative women like Palin and Bachmann and Foxx get criticism because they’re batshine insane and proud of it.
November 20th, 2009 at 12:18 pmThey’re basing their entire argument on the results obtained in a Fox News poll??? That’s just laughable. I can just hear the questions now:
“Q1: Do you have a favorable or unfavorable opinion of that great patriotic american leader who’s protecting your freedoms while looking great and being the all-American mom, Sarah Palin?”
“Q2: Do you have an unfavorable opinion of that liberal commie pinko leftist terrorist-loving, freedom-hating, anti-business un-American old woman Nancy Pelosi?”
That, coupled with the fact that their sample size was probably the ten teabaggers who showed up for Bachmann’s latest rally would give you the results they’ve reported today…
November 20th, 2009 at 12:18 pmYou mean that FOX supported Palin but threw Speaker Pelosi under the bus? YOU DON’T SAY!
In other news, the sun rose this morning and the world is still apparently turning. More on this new phenomenon as it develops.
/Snark
November 20th, 2009 at 12:19 pmThese idiots just say whatever fits their narrative no matter how ludicrous. They couldnt care LESS if its true or not. They know they are never going to be taken seriously by those who think for themselves and that the brainwashed hiveminders will believe whatever they say no matter how stupid it is. The least they could do is go to the trouble of making up somewhat credible lies and stop insulting our intelligence
November 20th, 2009 at 12:19 pmThe real difference is that Pelosi is a grown-up who has years of experience in politics, so she cowgirls up and gets on with it. Palin is a neophyte and an egotist who whines every time someone criticizes her.
November 20th, 2009 at 12:20 pmSo, this entire charade is based on a Faux Nudze poll?
Dismissed.
November 20th, 2009 at 12:21 pmRemember: “you” in this case means those who follow Fox News. This doesn’t apply to all of the sane people in the world.
November 20th, 2009 at 12:23 pmHow can she say that with a straight face? Women were always trashed, espcecially LIBERAL women. We are either too ugly, angry, men hating old hags. Repugs have been saying that for years. Now that Sarah is facing scrutiny, ‘oh you’re sexist.’ What crap.
November 20th, 2009 at 12:24 pmConservative women get attacked more? Sure. Just ask Laura Bush. She took lots more crap than Hillary Clinton.
November 20th, 2009 at 12:25 pmDo the right-whiners know notghing except how to lie? This one ranks up there with their lies about Health Care Reform and all the Pres. Obama lies!
All women poloticians have always had a harder time by the press and the public. A man shows emotion and he’s being “human” but a woman shows emption and she’s “out of control”.
The right-whiners have lambasted any and every liberal/progressive/Democtat woman politician. They’re twice as hard on women because right-whiners can’t handle it.
(Ha, I said “hard on”.)
Compare any coverage of Sen. Snowe to Sec. Clinton or Speaker Pelosi. That’s the best evidence that the right-whiners have a major double_standard when it comes to how they treat women.
November 20th, 2009 at 12:26 pmFox News is lucky to have viewers so stupid that they can’t remember what was told to them yesterday so they believe every lie told them today. We’d be better of if these ignoramuses didn’t watch any news because they just don’t understand it.
November 20th, 2009 at 12:27 pmFOX News-
They spend years lying and trashing Pelosi baselessly while spending equal energy propping up moosebreath. They then poll their viewers for opinions (opinions obtained through listening to FOXaganda) and treat the results as something meaningful? The only fact to be gleened from FOX’s poll is that their propaganda works on their LIViewers as their opinions are diametrically opposed to what the rest of the Nation thinks about these two women.
November 20th, 2009 at 12:28 pmDennis Miller said Pelosi had a “sub-reptilian intellect” and likened her face to a “lizard laying on a hot rock.”
Dennis Miller called her a “train wreck” and a “shrieking harridan magpie.”
Boy, that Dennis Miller is one funny guy.
November 20th, 2009 at 12:29 pmNo wonder his standup act is so popular and his comedic career is so successful.
He could probably sell out arenas and have them rolling in the aisles in hysterics. I can’t wait for his next national tour and comedy special on tv. He is one of the alltime greats.
What a comedic genius, truly a legend!
I think it funny that only 47% had a favorable opinion of Palin in a FOX poll.
Also, can you imagine the outrage if Olbermann joked about poisoning Sarah Palin in roll playing skit with Maddow wearing a Palin mask?
November 20th, 2009 at 12:30 pmflavarino
Good one. Dennis Miller couldnt sell out a phone booth
November 20th, 2009 at 12:31 pmI lot of people didn’t even KNOW who the House Speaker was until Nancy Pelosi, A WOMAN, was given the post. My father rants about Nancy. When I asked who was the Speaker before her, he didn’t have a clue. In fact, he didn’t know ANY of them. These guys can’t stand a woman in power, unless it is a ignoramous like Sarah Palin, she is on the same intelligence level THEY are on.
November 20th, 2009 at 12:31 pmWhat Pelosi does not get is the credit and the praise she deserves. She’s smart, super-hardworking, and tough as nails. She’s fantastic! (And her pearls are to die for!)
November 20th, 2009 at 12:31 pmThere is no confusion about who took politics to the gutter and insists on keeping it there.
It has been republicans across the board.
November 20th, 2009 at 12:31 pmFAUX NEWS POLL . .
BWAAAAAAAAAAAAA . .
Why would these freaks even ask such a question??
They knew what the results would be so we can assume it was just to denegrate Ms. Pelosi – red meat for their loyal birthers!!
Why doesn’t faux do the same poll asking MANHATTAN RESIDENTS?
November 20th, 2009 at 12:33 pmDoing@23, Love the pearls. LOVE THEM.

EXACTLY!!!
Well worth a repeat — in teh bold!
November 20th, 2009 at 12:35 pmThe scrutiny Pelosi has received is dwarfed by what Hillary Clinton faced during the ’90s. A list of “attacks” on Ms. Clinton from Fox alone would fill the first page of the blog.
November 20th, 2009 at 12:35 pmExplain this to me please, why is it that any woman who shows a progressive slant to her thinking is crucified, but the reich-wingers get the glory? I thought politics was supposed to be more than a beauty pageant.

Because Conservative Women Attack More
Fixed.
November 20th, 2009 at 12:46 pmAnd unfauxed.
Delusional.
No one on Fox is able to say the name Pelosi without a derogatory or vile remark about her.
They have also forgotten the non-stop criticism of Hillary Clinton from her hair to her clothes, not to mention her politics.
November 20th, 2009 at 12:48 pm“put-in-her-place, bobbing-in-the-harbor” Nancy Pelosi?
sure – no talk about her from the rump camp at all, Gretchie….
i still can’t believe foxsuckers actually watch that crap –
talk about low self-esteem…
November 20th, 2009 at 12:54 pmIt just goes to show that Fox, it’s employees, viewers and accolytes are not only dumb and blind, they are truly deaf…
November 20th, 2009 at 12:54 pmHas he changed his expression yet?
November 20th, 2009 at 12:55 pmPalin, Bachmann, Coulter, Prejean, etc. These women invite scrutiny through their own deeds- the lying, the attacks on other people, the calling for taking up arms against the government, the idea that women shouldn’t vote, the hatred, the racism, and their constant whining about being victims. And in most of their cases, their ignorance, if not total stupidity.
November 20th, 2009 at 12:55 pmIt plays into their whole victimization ethos…the war on _____ (fill in the blank)…because nothing says victimized like traditional white privilege…
November 20th, 2009 at 12:57 pmCarlson is one of the stupidest women on tv, and I’m sorry, one of the ugliest! What’s with her nose? It’s like a 2 car gargage. You can look straight up in there. Actually, it’s more like a pig’s snout! Sure after trashing Pelosi, the entire GOP has demonstrated time and time again their hatred for women. Look no further than the 3 female Republican senators. Snowe, Collins and Kay Bailey Hutchinson who, I always forget. Clearly so does the GOP. They hate Pelosi because she’s a powerful woman. They can’t keep her in her place the way they keep the womn in their party in their places. Oh, and conservative women are trashed because they’re stupid. Why would you support a party that doesn’t think powerful women should be in their party. See, Bachmann, Palin and Virginia Foxx as 3 great examples of what the Republicans think of women! Just remember boy, YOUR MOMMA IS A WOMAN!
November 20th, 2009 at 12:59 pmWell all ever one knows why God put smell to a fart, so the deaf could enjoy as well.
so god let fox come on the air so the stupid have something to enjoy as well.
November 20th, 2009 at 1:00 pmdasm@38, Good point. Remember Ingraham mocking Megan McCain’s weight? Or Coulter’s comment on Hillary’s chubby legs? Or when Malkin slammed Asian Immigrants. Repugs mock EVERYONE who doesn’t share their views.
November 20th, 2009 at 1:00 pmI think anyone who says truly absurd things should expect to get criticized and ridiculed for it. Consider the following list:
“Matthew Shepherd wasn’t killed because he was gay”
“Every American has access to health care — all they have to do is go to an emergency room”
“The GOP has been the leader in starting good environmental programs in this country”
“It’s better to be uninsured than on Medicaid”
“We have more to fear from the potential of that [health care] bill passing than we do from any terrorist right now in any country”
“[Americans will be] put to death by their government”
“After we defund the left, we pass repealer bill after repealer bill after repealler bill”
“This [health care reform] cannot pass…What we have to do today is make a covenant, to slit our wrists, be blood brothers on this thing.”
“[AmeriCorps is] what I would call re-education camps for young people”
“On the 16th page, it says whatever health care you have now, it’s going to be gone within five years.”
“The kids who voted en masse for Barack Obama are the ones being fitted with shackles and chains”
“This hate crime legislation could be considered the very definition of tyranny”
“I find it interesting that it was back in the 1970s that the swine flu broke out then under Democrat President Jimmy Carter”
“Carbon dioxide is natural. It is not harmful. It is part of Earth’s life cycle.”
“I want people in Minnesota armed and dangerous on this issue of the energy tax because we need to fight back”
“Not all cultures are equal”
“We’re losing our country”
“All of ‘em, any of ‘em that have been in front of me over all these years” (in response to the question, “what newspapers do you read?”)
“I’ll try to find you some and I’ll bring them to you” (in response to a request for specific ways McCain pushed for more regulation as a Senator)
“in these wonderful little pockets of what I call the real America, being here with all of you hard working very patriotic, um, very, um, pro-America areas of this great nation”
“I’m the mayor, I can do whatever I want until the courts tell me I can’t.”
Of course, this is just a partial list, and I limited it to three conservative women — Foxx, Bachmann, and Palin.
Now, can Gretchen Carlson come up with a list of quotes from Nancy Pelosi that can even begin to compare with this list in the idiocy department?
You can’t say things that are this stupid and then blame any negative feedback on being picked on for being conservative. That dog won’t hunt.
November 20th, 2009 at 1:04 pmFOX is 100% spin 100% of the time. I think it needs to be examined as campaign spending in the context of federal campaign spending laws.
It is not a normal ‘news’ function; it was designed by Roger Ailes as a political entity with a strategic, political purpose.
November 20th, 2009 at 1:08 pmAnd mother of fallen soldier, Cindy Sheehan, has certainly always been treated with the utmost respect by Fox, right?
November 20th, 2009 at 1:11 pmListening to the political banter of Fox and Friends
November 20th, 2009 at 1:12 pmis like overhearing the conversations at the ORU student union.
Seems to me a certain Alaskan governor said Hillary Clinton should stop whining about scrutiny and “work harder.” Well, since the news media have actually turned a skeptical eye on these conservative women with no brains and checked the facts Sarah and others claim are true, they have been found wanting a certain element of truth. So Sarah and the rest of these right-wing women should stop complaining and work harder! Oh, that’s right: it’s difficult to work harder at the job of governor that you have QUIT.

/snark. Seriously, who can watch them anymore? My family still does and I still want to strangle them whenever they do, because they take Fox News verbatim and don’t seem to bother to ask questions (i.e. the report on Fox news at 11:30 ish last night that said that the healthcare reform legislation being proposed right now was going to “destroy” medicare; as if the repugs wanted it in the 1st place, but yet, they are claiming to be trying to defend medicare right now. Don’t worry, I’m not planning on actually strangling my family, they just get me so mad sometimes when I hear them repeating verbatim what FoxSnooze tells them to.
November 20th, 2009 at 1:31 pmYou sayin it and typing in caps don’t make it so. It just makes you look stupid.

November 20th, 2009 at 1:32 pmConservative women get more attacks because of thier obvious lack of intelligence.

November 20th, 2009 at 1:34 pmWrong, Cancervative Dumba$$ — libs don’t like Palin because she’s a whining, hateful, lying, egotistical quitter with the intellect of a flea. Whether she’s good-looking or not only matters if she’s running for Miss Alaska — a race which, as I recall, she ALSO lost…
November 20th, 2009 at 1:35 pmIf the media was TRULY doing its job – those hags would NOT have a national platform from which to spew their vitriol…
If all was as it should be, those lunatics would have no audience at all – except for perhaps a half-dozen like-minded nutcases standing near their soapboxes on their chosen corners.
November 20th, 2009 at 1:36 pmJust some current info for someone pathetic and ridiculous enough to name himself “barackbelow50″:
There have been six major polls taken in November and the results for Obama’s approval rating are as follows:
Fox 46%
CBS 53%
Quinapiac 48%
CNN 55%
ABC 56%
AP 54%
And so, in the face of two wars and an economic situation which is the worst since the Great Depression, Obama’s average approval rate in November is 52.17%.

November 20th, 2009 at 1:42 pmApparently the Republican “memory” strikes again.
They need to look up Elanor Roosevelt.
November 20th, 2009 at 1:47 pmFox News Poll: I’m sure the people sampled were a random group and the questions asked did not imply any bias.
If you’re a conservative woman, you do get more criticism. Look at all that was unloaded at Hilary Clinton – the ringleader of the conservative movement.
Obviously the slogan should be “fair and UNbalanced.”
November 20th, 2009 at 1:47 pmI would like to remind the trolls that the American electorate was faced with choices of a black man with an Arab name or a republican.
Do you guys remember who won?
November 20th, 2009 at 1:50 pmEven the same Fox poll that’s got approval at 46 has Obama’s personal rating at 54%. The average November poll number for whether people like the president is at about 56%.
But back to topic. I can’t believe anyone would even try to argue conservative women take more criticism after the Clinton experience. Don’t people remember? They called her a murderer, a crook, a big fat lesbian and a ruthless schemer. They said she’d leave her husband as soon as he wasn’t powerful anymore. They said she had affairs with their best friend. When she gained a little weight, they had a great time making fun of her legs.
Give me a break!

November 20th, 2009 at 6:29 pmActually, Nancy Pelosi gets fewer nasty comments because she is not a ditzy woman trying to sidestep direct answers to questions and for making comments like, “I can see Russia from my house.” Palin botched so many of her interviews. We may not agree with Pelosi’s answer but at least she does make a sensible answer to questions.

November 21st, 2009 at 4:42 amCan only imagine what they have to say about “Amanda Turkel”
Can only imagine that we as a group could influence,boycott and e-mail their advertisers insisting that “Fair and Balance” news is what is expected to make a Democracy work.
Opinions are not news.
One thing that Murdock has going for the network is “Gerry Springer Show” and “Fox News”
The caliber of these people that appear on these shows has a true concern about responsibility to the public.
However, Fox News did a great special when “Rush” made his “State of the Union, Ah, Well, Fox is running this live around the World so I’ll call it State of the World address”
Watched it and later came on C-Span as he was the guest speaker for the “Conservative Council” Again, around 3-4am C-Span ran it again and this time watched with sound off as I knew what was the agenda. So many viewers around the World would have a difficult time with English and would be like me..What a sight to see. How embarrassing it was to watch. The thought that media would take any pride at all in his nature was kinda frightening.
Good for Fox for having the means to show the World what Gerry Springers and influential leaders are like.
Have fun.

“There is no confusion about who took politics to the gutter and insists on keeping it there.
It has been republicans across the board.”
Fred what I have noticed is the change when the Bush Administration brought the Religions Community into Government.
What a change in a political environment that has become very vindictive. Distortion that they feel comfortable with.
I could go on, but the point is most feel a responsibility to be vindictive and ignore the true crisis that we are facing..I call them the “Empty Barrels” because empty barrels make the most noise. What a sight to watch when debating the Health Care Reform..Asking myself all the time “Where were these voices when we were going into Iraq?” They seemed satisfied with the 5 or 6 reasons and never questioning. The Church never stood up then.
“Empty Barrels” on the Fox News is a classic example of vindictive policy with no awareness that some viewers recognize that distortion is used as fact if it helps the story.
