I could see this coming a mile away.  I was listening to the broadcast on the radio and when they previewed it, I said "This is going to be a prank."  Sure enough... Just watch and enjoy.

I swear Fox and Friends has the 3 least-intelligent hosts on Cable News.

I will confess my bias comes from what comparisons the Daily Show exposes about Fox's blatant double standards and total reversals depending who the politician is saying the same thing. What really blew me away though, was how they showed some time ago that Gretchen Carlson is NOT a ditz. Her education and resume show it. Yet, she dumbs it down for broadcast. This is the kind of thing that really burns me as a news consumer, and citizen. The assumption that I am so dumb that I need the pretty blonde lady to pretend she is too, making me feel better about my own ignorance and stupidity. Really? Where is today's William F. Buckley?

Let's put the blame where it belongs, the producers and people who vet the on air interviews.  She handled a bad situation about as well as anyone would.

And the kid is a...another name for a donkey (Really? the forum censor picks that up?... wow)

I agree, that kid is a real winner. 

I think she should've been better prepared for that situation with some script.  Sean Hannity (who I'm not a big fan of) and Bill O'Reilly handle callers who turn on them exceptionally well.  She should get them to write a script for her. 

Fox and Friends does the flip-flop thing depending on who's talking, but CNN isn't much better:  See outrage over Romney's comments hours before confirmation that the Ambassador had been killed vs the lack of outrage shown over Obama questioning the Surge, Questioning GWB for 2 years as he was running for the Presidency, and then the below where he uses the death of 9 troops in Afgh to score a point about how that mission was going: http://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2012/09/12/2008_obama_used_death_of_nine_troops_to_ding_bush_mccain_over_iraq.html

Fox News ain't the only biased news source.
