Expect O'Reilly to have a "Talking Points Memo" about how Greta is out to get him, and an evil backstabber. But it's okay, dear viewers, he's still "looking out for you while not spinning his pithy comments and bloviating so you don't have to". (Did I leave out any cheesy catch phrases?)

I expect this is temporary, what with the Aruba case, but still, it'll be fun to watch O'Me-Me-Me have to deal with not being Numero Uno for awhile. Maybe it'll force him to give up that lousy radio show and concentrate more on the TV stuff again.

maybe so. I am certainly no fan of hers but after she came to Fox she appears to me to have tried to separate herself from the flaming liberals. Greta makes me barf less than Katie Couric. Doesnt matter much since I would only see either of them via occasional channel surf.

It's due to all the people falling asleep during The Factor without turning their televisions off.

You have to hold your breath when you drive by the Celebrity Center. It's bad luck if you don't!

I just read a little about it. This girl called Lisa McPherson who died in a Florida Scientology complex was recruited at the Dallas Celebrity Center. I think I will hold my breath and wear my cross next time I go that way.

We get Fox News via satellite here. So far as I can tell, a typical Greta programme goes like this:

GRETA: There has been a triple homicide ax murder in Topeka, Kansas, Detective Ed Brown is on the line to tell us more.

ED: Thanks Greta, great to be on the show.

GRETA: So how is the case going?

ED: We caught the guy. Nailed him. Nabbed him. You betcha.

GRETA: Tell us more about the murder. How bloody was it?

ED: I've never seen anything like it in my 30 years of police work.

GRETA: But was it bloody...did he leave the bloody axe on the floor and write "Kill the Pigs" in blood on the wall?

ED: Nope.

GRETA: OK, "Slaughter the Bourgeoisie"?

ED: Nope.

GRETA: I heard a rumour that he performed a Satanic ritual by cutting out their entrails and dancing around singing "Praise Lord Satan" while naked.

ED: Not true.

GRETA: Doesn't sound like much of a triple homicide to me then.

Regards, Ivan

You forgot to keep it pithy.

Despite her politics, I think Greta is a top-notch legal reporter and her show provides a great platform for Fox News to do in-depth profiles of various legal cases and crimes. Even though such stories don't usually interest me very much, they interest other people and it's good to have a show that caters to their interests. That's why I've always said she belongs on Fox News.

Hehehehehe...you are ever so correct. I can't stand Blow-Reilly, Sean irritates me, Whoraldo...well, let's just say he's a media whore, and Grrrrreta, while better than she was on the other channels still turns me off. She is like a guitar with one string and one tune. That's all she plays.

Yeah, and did you happen to catch Brit's comments regarding the MSMs lack of reporting on Durbin while jumping all over Rove, while every Commie/Lib/Dem grabbed microphones and jumped up to the cameras to denounce Rove and demand apology/resignation/firing by Bush.

After suffering through Bill Kristol's (elitist snob extrordinaire) sniffs regarding Rove's comments, simply stated with Brit's usual flat truth, "Nothing need more to be said about media bias."

Gotta love that Brit!!!

"It's the Aruba media circus, now that the Jack-o circus left town."

It's what Americans want. America seems to have a insatiable appetite for the tawdry or sensational.

But ask the average American about politics or something that could really affect their lives, and they have no clue.

The citizens are fiddling while "Rome" burns.

Not me. I even turn the channel when she's just doing a promo.

Oh, man. I read that fast and turned green until I realized your last word was "promo."

LOL...

Fox News is becoming really bad and I do not care if they are winning the ratings, for us we need news, real news, and not the most boring tabloid crap. But it seems their tabloid styles and programs is selling, I think it is more appealing to the women audience who get intrigued by such issues as missing people and court trials. You can see some of them right her on the thread.

Yep....
We're seeing the result of 4 decades of leftist educrates dumbing down the population to forward their agenda....

This case is more important than the war against Islamist lunatics, the imbeciles in Congress, the thieves on the Supreme Court, the invasion by illegal immigrants and the enslavement of a free people....

Semper Fi

I'm wondering who will be appointed to head their new Aruba Bureau.
