[Hostage]

I can remember back to the days when cable refused to show Fox and Fox had to sue to get on.

And I saw a fight almost break out in an airport when someone tried to change from CNN to Fox.

I also remember back to the days of 1996 I think it was when Tony Snow hosted Fox News Sunday and I commented realtime on his show’s blog and he would respond. He even had Dick Armey and others respond to questions on the blog. My question to Tony one Sunday was “Why do you have these classless democrat hacks on like Bob Shrum who do not know how to tell the truth or be civil?” And then he responded that it was difficult to find prominent elected democrats to appear on the show. I wrote “Ok I get it! Tony you’re a genius! You have all the second and third string democrat players on and that just makes them look worse! Keep up with that strategy!”, and his response was a smiley face.

I remember that. The cable providers were insisting that the Fox Network and then Fox News were not a "legitimate" provider like the established Big Three (ABC, CBS, NBC) and later CNN were, so they were not required to carry them.

Tony was a class act all the way, always was, and he is missed greatly to this very day.

RIP, Tony.
