HERE SHE COMES TO SAVE THE DAY
Ellis Henican is frequently a member of the ‘Fox News Watch’ panel of media analysts who cover the coverage of the week’s biggest stories.
(Saturday 2:30 and 11:30 PM on the Fox News Channel)
On the July 3, 2010 edition of Fox News Watch, the panel discussed the media’s coverage of General Davis Patraeus, who sailed through the confirmation hearings and is now officially the new commander of the NATO-led International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) in Afghanistan. When asked about how he thought Patraeus would do, Ellis said that if the General is successful “people will be thrilled—and shocked.” He then confronted Andrea Tantaros – “You don’t want coverage” of Petraeus hearings, he said, “you want an ideological attack.”
Later, while discussing the media’s coverage of the “Russian Spy Ring” , Ellis asked the panelists “can we be grown-ups about this?”, noting that nations spying on both enemies and friends is nothing new or unusual.
