Fox & Friends, a popular morning show on Fox News, is facing criticism from viewers who are finding it increasingly “unwatchable.” Several issues have drawn their ire, ranging from insensitive content to the show’s structure and even specific hosts.
Some viewers have expressed concern over recent content, citing an example of a joke deemed insensitive regarding gender labels. However, the biggest complaints seem to revolve around the show’s format.
Many viewers complain about excessive commercial breaks and short segments after lengthy teases. One viewer commented on social media, stating that the number of commercials makes the show unwatchable and suggesting NewsNation as a better alternative.
The show’s handling of a recent interview with former NFL player Jared Allen also drew criticism. Viewers felt the segment was too short, especially after it had been promoted for an extended period. One frustrated viewer questioned the point of promoting a story for three hours only to give it a meager two seconds of airtime.
Finally, some viewers have targeted host Steve Doocy, calling for his retirement and labeling him “old and boring.” Several people stated they actively change the channel when he appears, with one even claiming to be wearing out their remote batteries from avoiding him.
Despite the negative feedback, Fox & Friends continues to air weekday mornings on Fox News.
