Greta Van Susteren, Megyn Kelly Blast Male Colleagues Over 'Female Breadwinner' Responses
Greta Van Susteren and Megyn Kelly are not pleased with some of the comments that their male colleagues at Fox News made. Studies showed that 40 percent of households with children have women as the primary breadwinner, but an all-male panel's perspective on the report offended the female correspondents.
The comments came during and all-male panel discussion during the "Lou Dobbs Tonight" show. For the discussion, Dobbs invited Erick Erickson, Doug Schoen, and Juan Williams, who reacted to the new findings and its impact on American society.
"What we're seeing with four out of 10 families, now the woman is the primary breadwinner," Juan Williams said during the panel discussion. "You're seeing the disintegration of marriage, you're seeing men who were hard hit by the economic recession in ways that women weren't. But you're seeing, I think- systemically, larger than the political stories that we follow every day- something going terribly wrong in American society; it's hurting our children, and it's going to have [an] impact for generations to come."

Afterwards, prominent host Greta Van Susteren took to Twitter to express her disbelief to the comments made by some of her network colleagues.
"Have these men lost their minds? (and these are my colleagues??!! oh brother… maybe I need to have a little chat with them) (next thing they will have a segment to discuss eliminating women's right to vote?)" Van Susteren posted on her Twitter account.
Greta Van Susteren wasn't the only one to notice the segment. Fellow Fox News host Megyn Kelly took issue with some of the comments, especially those of Erick Erickson
"When you look at biology, look at the natural world, the roles of a male and female in society, and the other animals, the male typically is the dominant role," he said. "The female, it's not antithesis, or it's not competing, it's a complementary role. We as people in a smart society have lost the ability to have complementary relationships in nuclear families, and it's tearing us apart."
Kelly hosts Fox News' "America Live" and told Erickson that she did not appreciate his comments.
"I was offended by the piece nonetheless. I didn't like what you wrote one bit, and I do think you are judging people," she said.
