These folks took ripping Fox News to a whole new level — they did it live on Fox News.

00:00Fox News is not real news, and we're not a reporter. I talk to real news only.
00:14The FBI's reputation has taken a big hit because the President of the United States,
00:18with his acolytes, has lied about it constantly.
00:22And in the face of those lies, a whole lot of good people who watch your network believe that nonsense.
00:27That's a tragedy. That will be undone eventually, but that damage has nothing to do with me.
00:32Do you think we're bad for America? Do you think I'm bad for America?
00:35Fulfilling my role as the designated piñata on Fox News, I want to say...
00:40That's racist.
00:41These are not invaders. Stop using these military analogies.
00:46This is absolutely painful to watch.
00:50What a lot of the media, especially Fox News, has messed up with me,
00:53is they've made it seem like I'm trying to take people's guns and I'm against the Second Amendment.
00:57I don't understand what is so hard to understand about this.
01:00We simply want to save lives and save our democracy. Please stand with us.
01:05It is not uncommon for you all to see one thing.
01:08The only place racism doesn't exist is Fox News and the police department.
01:11That's the only place. That's absolutely true.
01:13That's insulting. You just insulted millions of people watching this channel.
01:16And you know what? I'm insulted by the things I hear on this network, so we're even.
01:20I could care less about insulting people than insult me on a daily basis.
01:23What some people are saying is that the IRS was used at a local level in Cincinnati, maybe other places, to go after me.
01:32Absolutely wrong.
01:33But how do you know that? Because we still don't know what happened there.
01:36Bill, we do. That's not what happened.
01:38Folks have, again, had multiple hearings on this.
01:41I mean, these kinds of things keep on surfacing.
01:44In part because you and your TV station will promote them.
01:48I think that the emphasis on Benghazi has been extremely political, partly because Fox was operating as a wing of the Republican Party.
01:55All right. Tom Ricks, thanks very much for joining us today.
01:58You're welcome.
