Rackkk Fox news
I think News corp has better sources than CNN sometime they beat CNN in international breaking news on SKY news I do get News alert from both Fox and SKY news
THEY KICK A***
OH MAN I scare my dad during Memorial Day holiday he ask me if he could use my cell phone and phone rang to Hannity and Colmes theme song
HE was tripping out LOL!
I got Fox News to start turning their logo! I have it burned into the corner of my big screen.
WOW!
Get rid of democrat leaning E.D. and put Laurie Dhue or Patty Ann Brown in there!
**I was away on a road trip the last week...not one hotel carried FOX News.**
Whenever I am in a motel, hospital, wherever -- and they do not have FOX -- I fill out an evaluation form and say that I want them to carry FOX news.
If enough people do this we will win the battle and maybe even the war.
I hate CNN (Barf!)
FOX News bump!
Great news - especially since FNC isn't availabe to as many households as CNN and MSNBC.
Regardless of the slight drop in ratings, F&F is far and away better than anything on CNN or MSNBC. It's just natural ebb and flow, the ratings will go back up.
