I love how the Daily Show responded to this. They sent an actual Chinese reporter in to interview those people in Chinese, and boy did they complain about Point Fox News!

Watching the progression of Fox hosts from O’Reilly to Tucker to Watters, is like going to a museum and looking at the evolution of man backwards.

In their defense it's got to be really hard to find someone who works at fox news who isn't racist.

[kevinmoten]

She said he is a racist in real life. That time slot they put him in has been full of racist for decades

This is a great example how much of an execrable human being Watters is:

From Amanda Terkel, senior politics editor for NBC News Digital: "[Fourteen] years ago, I was a blogger for ThinkProgress. On March 1, 2009, I wrote a post reporting that O'Reilly was scheduled to speak at a fundraiser for a group committed to supporting rape survivors. I also noted that in the past, O'Reilly had made controversial comments about an 18-year-old woman who'd been raped and murdered, implying that it was her fault because she had been drinking and because of what she had been wearing. You can read the full post here.

"In response to that post, O'Reilly sent Watters out to ambush me while I was on vacation in Virginia. On March 22, Watters accosted me on the street and asked why I was causing "pain and suffering" to rape victims and their families. He never introduced himself and didn't give any context for what he was saying -- he simply shouted questions as I tried to switch out of vacation mode and remember the short post I had written weeks earlier.

"Fox News has never given an explanation for how Watters found me. I didn't tell anyone exactly where I would be that weekend, and in retrospect, I remember a car following me for much of the way. My best guess remains that Watters found my home address, followed me for two hours to Virginia and then harassed me after I walked out of my hotel."

You tellin me, that the guy who slashed his coworker's tires to get a date with her, is also a racist?

[aggressiveattitudeera]

I remember that. I also remember The Daily Show's Ronny Chieng's epic takedown of this idiocy

[andrew_owens]

Rising up the ranks, one lawsuit at a time.

[Masonsky]

Of course he does. That is what is required to be a fox host.

Grim clocked the shit out of Watters in 2016 for those that don’t know. 😂😂😂

2:17 the old guy ignoring Jesse's question while taking a drag of his smoke is the truly funny moment 🤣

[mykalhildebrand]

Bradley, you appear to be the glue that keeps this place humming. I think you add just the right amount of everything to all of the conversations. Thank you for being so amazing!

I feel sorry for David Schwimmer, who has to share a body with Jessie Watters.

[vanessamonster]

Tucker was worse than O'Reilly. Watters is worse than tucker.

[Antonio-ygio]

I remember this segment! It was about seven years ago and was unusually racist at the time, even for Fox

[uncleogrimacy]

These are the same people who were 100% not concern trolling about the plight of Asian students under affirmative action

[PatDavis]

Tucker is still more punchable, but Jesse is trying hard to take his place.

[satevo]

Jesse Watters is the grand master or failing upwards.

[Nicpick]

Loved it when Ronny chieng. Went here and, made fun of Jesse with the locals.
