Super Bowl Champion Swats Away Fox Host's Criticism Of Michelle Obama.

[RiffRandell]

What a complete and utter jerk. These Fox idiots look so desperate it's like a comedy show except the fact that people actually take it seriously.

As far as the "lame joke", I consider it to be an insult. Russell Wilson is a class act.

Wilson appeared on the cable news channel to promote a United Way program aimed at stamping out childhood hunger and, from the beginning, Fox host Neil Cavuto tried his best to pit the Super Bowl champion against First Lady Michelle Obama.

"Well, Russell, what are we doing wrong then as a nation though with this urging them to eat healthy or set up these school lunch programs where they're urged to eat healthy. I mean, Michelle Obama's trying. Many argue that she's getting to be too much of a food police mommy," Cavuto said. "Be that as it may, whatever she's doing isn't working and I'm wondering what you're doing that is working. What's the difference?"

"Well, the first lady, I have so much respect for her. I was able to meet her and the President, obviously, you know when we went to the Super Bowl, we won the Super Bowl and got to go to the White House," Wilson said. "You know, I think at the end of the day, you know the kids, it's tough to eat healthy. You know, I remember when I was a little kid I was always struggling trying to eat healthy."

With that, all Cavuto could do was crack a lame joke.
"Really? That was never my problem, Russell. I guess you have some issues," Cavuto said.

1. Fox News hosts are jerks, water is wet, the sky is blue, fish can swim...

4. I know; I shouldn't be surprised but I was talking to a good friend

yesterday who fell on hard times and had to move back in with her Republican parents (she's a total liberal) and said it's on the television 24/7 as her parents are retired. I was like, that's torture and she said well, I try to tune it out but it's almost comical if my parents didn't worship it.

Read this story today and shook my head in disgust...for about the millionth time.

2. Only issue I see here is that Cavuto is a douchebag

obviously!

3. What's Cavuto's point?

First he says that Michelle Obama's trying, but apparently because all of America hasn't magically changed their eating habits (thanks in no small part to Fox's relentless propaganda), it "isn't working." So what, Mr. Cavuto? Quit trying? Let people develop even worse eating habits and die younger? You feel fine, so fuck everyone else because they "have some issues"?

You sound like a mean little prick to me.

5. I think your last sentence is the point.

He proved it in the interview and it wasn't the first time. Fox isn't allowed on our tele but follow TPM on Twitter and saw the story this morning.

6. Man living in bubble world doesn't understand why bubble world joke isn't hit

If you feed off Fox news then you become a shallow know nothing *hole.

8. Neil Cavuto is a classless piece of shit

So fucking angry that his guest didn't join his little piss parade, he treats him like dirt. Fuck him.

[RiffRandell]

10. My sentiments exactly.

Trying to shit all over and politicize helping children. That's Fox!

9. Russell Wilson is a class act. No surprised he ate Cavuto's lunch.
