The chemistry on “The Five” was great! The journalism was barely present. It was definitely a bias. I usually do not watch Fox because the lack of objectivity makes me gag, but I felt great as far as the conversation between the anchors. Whenever you talk about politics it becomes an argument, and even then they were still able to feel like friends. I felt like I was sitting in a living room at a family party (my family always has these kinds of conversations as well). Bob wasn’t everyone’s favorite, but they need some conflict to make a show. Bob actually was the one who had the most trustworthy opinion because he was willing to say no to the bias of the other anchors. A lot of this show was giving opinion, and it was not considered news. I do have to commend the anchors on being able to not talk over each other. Despite their disagreements they were able to keep the debate organized. Near the “Obamacare Fallout” they got really heated. The show was built on the drama of disagreement. Eric was very upset, and they left at the climax. I don’t think this was on accident, they like to build on drama, but it seems to me that once the cameras are off, and the debate is over, the anchors would be good friends.
